About
We will begin with an introduction to the class and equipment, followed by a brief Stand Up Paddleboard lesson on land. Then we will launch the boards into the river and paddle down among the green sea turtles and wildlife to a peaceful space to anchor and practice yoga. Here we will enjoy a 60-minute guided all-level flow of gentle movement and asanas (yoga poses) followed by the most relaxing, peaceful, floating savasana (resting pose) to the sounds of Tibetan singing bowls. After class we will have time to take photos and enjoy our short paddle back to shore.
This is a beginner class; however, I will offer challenges, and can cater to any level of experience. Let's just have some fun! I look forward to meeting you and sharing my passion yoga and the ocean with you!
Adventure Tips
Arrive Early for Equipment Setup
Plan to arrive 15 minutes before your class to get fitted for a paddleboard and receive safety instructions.
Sun Protection is a Must
The Hawaiian sun can be intense; wear reef-safe sunscreen and a hat for protection during paddling and yoga.
Practice Basic Swimming Skills
While the session is beginner-friendly, comfort in water and basic swimming ability improve safety and enjoyment.
Stay Hydrated
Bring a water bottle to stay hydrated before and after your session, as saltwater and sun exposure can dehydrate quickly.
