From there, participants gently launch into the calm estuary waters, gliding past vibrant marine life, including the famous green sea turtles that inhabit these protected waters. As the sun dips closer to the horizon, paddlers anchor in a serene cove framed by lush vegetation and volcanic rock formations, creating an atmosphere ripe for yoga practice.

The 60-minute guided flow blends traditional asanas with the unique demands of balancing atop a paddleboard.

The class culminates in a deeply restorative floating savasana, accompanied by the ethereal tones of Tibetan singing bowls, enhancing relaxation amid the whispering Pacific breeze.
