Reviews

  • “This class is amazing! Kelly (the instructor) made our first experience with paddle yoga fun, easy and relaxing! She was very patient with all of us and we are looking forward to participate in more paddle yoga sessions soon!”
  • “I have taken two classes so far. I had never done stand-up paddle before. The instructor is great, experienced, informative and patient. She explains everything very clearly. It was easier than it looked for me. The back bay is a great place to learn. If you have been on the fence, I highly recommend you try it here. The yoga is basic, nothing crazy. No matter your level of yoga experience, you can do it. You can make it as challenging as you want. Everyone at their own pace.”
  • “I was very nervous about trying sup yoga, as I have only done it once on dry land. Not knowing the poses, Kelly made everything clear and was very patient. It became a non intimidating experience and I became relaxed. The group was a lot of fun and had some laughs. I highly recommend it!”
