About us

Hi Everyone, my name is Darlene, and welcome to Yoga In Nature™, NC. I'm a E-RYT 200 and Certified SUP (Standup Paddle Board) Yoga Instructor. Yoga has been a passion and practice of mine for over 25 years, working with top yogis from Yoga Journal magazine, and practicing and teaching in various locations across the US and internationally. Nature has been a playground for me since childhood... so, here we are. Yoga In Nature™.
I love to meet new people as well as see old friends, as we practice together! OPEN TO ALL LEVELS. I teach a slow to moderate vinyasa flow to a more grounding practice depending on the group and weather. We practice outdoors at a variety of venues and locations in Apex, Cary, Morrisville and South Raleigh, and at times in the NC mountains and at the beaches. The nicer weather provides some last minute POP UPs, so keep an eye on the schedule. $15/person/class. SUP Yoga, events and retreats priced separately. Accepting cash, Venmo and PayPal. Because I tend to keep my classes small, for some reason you cannot make the class, please take yourself OFF the RSVP list, so others can attend class. Thanks!
Always a new playlist to flow to!
Oh, and smile... you are doing Yoga In Nature™!

We will launch at the kayak/ SUP rental location (down the path)/ near the white lookout tower. We will have some basic on-land instruction for about 10 minutes then paddle out and anchor (those with experience can paddle out earlier). We will then have a mostly beginner yoga class (modifications for more advanced students) which will be about 60 minutes for a mostly grounded flow (some standing asanas). We will then paddle back in. MUST HAVE YOUR OWN BOARD OR RENT/BORROW ONE FOR THIS CLASS. I have one board to rent for $25 and I have anchors for anyone that needs one. Message me for details.

Beaverdam Lake State Recreation Area, 14600 Creedmoor Rd, Wake Forest, NC, US
JOIN US FOR SUP YOGA (stand-up paddle board yoga) . Payment is due at time of sign-up, in order to hold your spot. At least 4 attendees to run this class. $40/person includes basic paddle instruction, yoga class on SUP, anchors (to borrow for class), and summertime snacks. YOU WILL BE REIMBURSED IF IT RAINS and/or if I need to cancel. If you sign up and can’t make it, you will receive a one time credit for a future SUP Yoga class to use this season.
Certified SUP yoga instructor to lead you in yoga, on the water:)
Grab your Standup Paddle Board and meet us at Falls Lake.
I have one board for rent, first come first serve ($25).I have also researched place(s) where you are able to rent a SUP board. You would be responsible for picking up and then returning the board to the location. Recommendation to rent for 3-4 hours, as you will need time to pick it up, use for the 1.5 hour class then return it. I will have anchors to borrow, upon request.
Rentals at https://wakerack.com/

We will meet at the beach area and begin with basic instruction of the paddle strokes, board, etc. If you have already done SUP, you can get out on the water, and we will meet you there after 15 minutes of intro. We will paddle out to one of the coves (15 - 20 minutes) then anchor down for about a 60 minute SUP yoga class. Then, we will paddle back in unless you choose to remain on the water to explore. IF YOU HAVE A NEW BOARD THIS SEASON, PLEASE TAKE TIME TO INFLATE IT AT HOME TO MAKE SURE THERE ARE NO SLOW LEAKS (PRIOR TO GETTING ON THE WATER). FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF WITH YOUR EQUIPMENT AT THE START OF THE SEASON AND BE READY TO INFLATE YOUR OWN BOARD WITH YOUR PUMP. THE GROUP THANKS YOU IN ADVANCE:)

NOTE: There is an entrance fee for this location at Falls Lake. I believe it is $10 per car. Feel free to verify.

Please bring your board; paddle; anchor (OR I have anchors to lend out); water bottle; sunscreen, etc; Good Pops will be provided, but feel free to bring your own snack to enjoy before or after class:)

ALL Levels welcome. $40 pay in advance by Venmo @Darlene-Genander (0862 last 4 digits of phone if asked) or PayPal at dgenander@yogainnature.com to hold your spot.
