You push off from a grassy foreshore, board gliding across a low-slung, silver Swan River as gulls call overhead and black swans trace lazy S-curves nearby. The class begins on land — slow breath, joint mobility — then the group paddles a short distance to a sheltered stretch where boards become small islands for balance and stillness. The river breathes; the current tests, invites, then lets you rest.

This stretch of the Swan River sits on Noongar boodjar (country) and became the focal point for the Swan River Colony in the 19th century; the waterway’s gentle estuary and sandy banks were shaped by sea-level shifts and sediment deposits, lending calm bays ideal for paddle sports. Local culture blends outdoor fitness with a café-and-river lifestyle: expect friendly instructors, small groups, and an easy timetable that follows the weather and tides.
Practically, classes last about an hour and require no prior yoga or SUP experience. Instructors offer modifications — stay kneeling or seated if balance is new to you — and end with savasana on the water for a quiet, buoyant cooldown. Wear form-fitting swimwear or yoga pants, apply reef-safe sunscreen, and bring a water bottle and towel. Arrive 15 minutes early for safety briefing and possible help inflating boards.
Weather dictates format; on windier days the session may convert to a land class. Respect wildlife (don’t approach swans), listen to the guide, and treat the river as an active partner in the practice: it will move you, gently challenge you, and sometimes, kindly let you fall in.
