Video: Yoga Class Goes "Up the Creek" — with a Paddle!

Yoga in the middle of the water? Stacey Sweet tries NOT to make a "splash" when she tries out the latest workout fad.

Some workouts are all wet! The newest trend combines yoga with a new water sport called stand-up paddling. And it's right here in Atlantic Beach.

Yes, you stand (or sit or lie down) on a paddle board and go out in the water, where you proceed to do an intense yoga workout. If you think the workout is tough, well, that's just the beginning!

It's part paddling, part yoga, part balance board ... and with one wrong move, part swimming! All in all, it's a fun new way to enjoy the sun, the sea, the sea creatures, serenity and a workout.
