SUP Yoga Rhine

SUP Yoga Rhine is the perfect mix of balance, strength and that real Rhine feeling: from May to September, selected stretches of riverbank between Bonn and Remagen are transformed into floating yoga studios. We show you all the dates for 2026, explain how to book a place and reveal why guests of our Oberwinter vacation apartment are particularly relaxed when they get on board in the morning. Fancy a sundowner in a dog looking down? Namasté on the Rhine!

Why SUP yoga is so good for you

Stand-up paddling trains your deep muscles and balance, while yoga stretches your fascia and teaches you to breathe consciously – both effects are amplified on the water. According to a study published in 2024 by the German Sport University Cologne, a twenty-minute session on the board increases core stability by an average of 21%. It also reduces cortisol levels by a third. In short: SUP yoga is a mini vacation for the nervous system and ideal for regenerating after a bike tour on the Rhine cycle path. Our tip: two hours before the session, eat light food – for example freshly filled sandwiches from the Remagen weekly market – and drink plenty of water.

The season traditionally starts on the first weekend in May:

Note: Always attach the leash to the board, never to your foot!
