(CNN)A New York woman drowned Friday while taking part in a stand-up paddleboard yoga class on Long Island, police said.

Lisa Margaritis, 48, an experienced paddleboarder, was trying to help another woman who was struggling in the strong current under a bridge in Hashamomuck Pond when Margaritis' paddleboard got caught on a bridge piling and she fell in, Southold Police chief Martin Flatley said in a news release.

Because she was tethered to the board, Margaritis wasn't able to free herself, Flatley said.

A jogger passing by jumped in and was able to free Margaritis from the piling and bring her to land, he said.

This seems like a bad idea from the get go, especially in water with strong current while you are tethered to the board.

I prefer drunken calisthenics. God I get so flexible.

What a stupid activity and to do it in water with a strong current!
Idiocy!

Pretty bad when a jogger saves the day. The fuck is next, crossfit parasailing?
