Take your yoga practice to the water! Experience the unique challenge and deep calm of practicing on a paddleboard in our beautiful harbor.
Imagine holding warrior pose while floating on calm, crystal-clear water. The gentle movement beneath you engages your core more deeply than any studio floor. The sounds of nature replace the noise of daily life. This is SUP yoga—and Huntington Harbour's protected waters make it the perfect place to experience this transformative practice.
SUP yoga isn't just yoga on a paddleboard—it's a completely different experience. The unstable surface challenges your body in new ways, while the natural setting calms your mind unlike any indoor studio.
Huntington Harbour is ideal for SUP yoga because of its consistently calm conditions. Unlike ocean practice, there are no waves to knock you off balance unexpectedly. The flat, protected water lets you focus on your breath and alignment.
Early morning sessions are especially magical—the water is often completely glassy, creating mirror-like reflections and an incredibly peaceful atmosphere. It's meditation before you even begin your practice!
Beyond what you'd get in any studio class
Every pose requires micro-adjustments for balance, engaging your core far more deeply than floor practice.
The challenge of balancing demands present-moment awareness—your mind can't wander when you might fall in!
Fresh air, natural sounds, and water beneath you create a uniquely grounding experience.
Regular SUP yoga practitioners see significant improvements in balance that transfer to daily life.
The combination of movement, breath, and being on water creates profound relaxation and stress release.
Even experienced yogis find new depth in familiar poses when practicing on the water.
From beginner-friendly to advanced challenges
A perfect starting point. The low center of gravity makes this stable and calming on the water.
Simple cross-legged sitting. Feel the gentle motion of the water as you breathe and center yourself.
A classic pose that becomes more challenging on water. Focus on equal weight distribution.
Standing poses require more balance on the board. Start with a wide, stable stance.
Single-leg balancing is significantly harder on water. A great progression goal!
The ultimate SUP yoga challenge! Only for experienced practitioners with solid inversions.
Fitted swimwear or athletic wear that can get wet. Avoid loose clothing that could catch on the board.
Apply waterproof sunscreen before class. A hat and sunglasses with straps can help during practice.
Bring water in a secure bottle. You'll be working hard even if you don't feel sweaty!
Falling in is part of the fun! The water is clean and refreshing. Embrace it as part of the practice.
Come 15 minutes early to get fitted with equipment and comfortable on the board before class.
Classes are designed for all levels. You don't need to be a yogi or paddleboarder to start!
