Duquesa Port will be the setting for a morning of yoga, paddleboarding and community spirit this Sunday 18 October, as Marinas de Andalucía brings its Yoga en el Puerto initiative to Manilva.
The event combines the growing popularity of SUP Yoga, which involves practising yoga on paddleboards, with a commitment to making recreational activities more accessible to everyone.
Organised by Marinas de Andalucía, the association representing Andalucía’s leisure and tourist marinas, the morning will feature two sessions led by Laura Cortés, an instructor specialising in inclusive yoga.
The first session, open to the public, begins at 10am and will be followed by brunch at Bar Dolphin in Duquesa Port. The cost is €50 per person, including brunch, with places limited. Reservations can be made by calling 609 863 117 or emailing laurayoga.sg@gmail.com.
At 11.30am, the focus will turn to inclusion, with a special session for members of Manilva’s Asociación Luisana, which supports people with disabilities, older residents and children with developmental needs.
The activities will be adapted to suit the abilities of those taking part, giving participants the opportunity to enjoy yoga on the water in a supportive and welcoming environment.
The event is supported by Duquesa Port, Puerto Sotogrande and Fundación Navega.
The Yoga en el Puerto: Bienestar y Comunidad project was launched last year at Puerto Sotogrande, where inclusive SUP Yoga sessions have already proved successful. Its arrival in Duquesa is part of plans to extend the initiative to other marinas across Andalucía.
Manuel Raigón, president of Marinas de Andalucía, explained that the project is about opening up marina facilities to the wider community and encouraging activities that promote health, social interaction and participation.
The association hopes that by working with local organisations, marinas can become welcoming spaces for everyone, not just boat owners and visitors.
Sunday’s event offers a different way to enjoy the surroundings of Duquesa Port, while supporting an initiative that brings together sport, wellbeing and inclusion.
