It was a bike accident that first brought Maureen Hebl to yoga, but the peace and serenity that yoga provided was what kept her hooked. Now, she’s a busy instructor holding classes at Madison studios, community centers and giving private lessons. She adds a surprising variation to her traditional practice by doing yoga on a stand-up paddleboard while on water – connecting her and her students more closely to the nature around them. 

And paddleboards go way beyond yoga… Stand-up paddleboarding is one of the fastest growing water sports and is making its way to Wisconsin’s rivers and lakes.
