SO CAL PADDLE YOGA - A FLOATING YOGA STUDIO

  I call SoCal Paddle Yoga "my happy place" because when you are out in the water like that, you are completely in the moment and the world fades away. It's... read more just the water, the sun, the yoga, and the experience. I can not recommend this class enough - it is fun, relaxing (she will meet you where you are at, no fears!), and a beautiful exercise in mindfulness!

  Loving paddle yoga with Kelly! I'm a beginner and she's made it easy for me to start yoga. I am able to do things at my own pace or level,... read more but she makes me feel comfortable pushing myself and does a great job of helping me with the pose and giving me feedback on how my body needs to be positioned and how to be more grounded or centered. I now love paddle yoga!!!

  I have taken paddle-boarding lessons from Kelly. I have also taken some yoga classes and attended her sup-sip events. Based on my first hand experience, I am qualified to post... read more a review.

Kelly is an amazing and very patient teacher. Working with her has been a pleasant experience for both my fiancé and I. We highly recommend her to anyone interested in paddle-boarding irrespective of their skill level.

  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.... read more  It became a non intimidating experience and I became relaxed.  The group was a lot of fun and had some laughs. I highly recommend Kelly at SoCal Paddle yoga!

  I absolutely LOVE everything about this class experience!!! It is my second season back, and my all time favorite place and instructor for SUP yoga. Being on the peaceful lake... read more is the BEST, and Kelly is amazing  She accommodates all levels and makes sure everyone feels confident, happy, and challenges themselves at their own pace. Highly recommended for a personal or group experience. Total bliss

  This is the perfect environment to try yoga on a paddle board. The water is calm and warm. The instructor Kelly is wonderful. The boards are easy for new comers.... read more The scenery is gorgeous. Anyone who enjoys the outdoors and fitness should try this. You will not be disappointed.

  The class is amazing!! Kelly is wonderful. If you get the opportunity, take the class.

  I have taken two classes so far. I had never done stand-up paddle before. The instructor Kelly is great. Experienced, informative and patient. She explains everything very clearly. It was... read more easier than it looked for me. The lake 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

  This is an amazing experience with an extremely talented teacher. She is so good at providing the proper cues & ensuring your safety that it makes you go farther than... read more you would in other classes. It is a beautiful experience and I am so glad to have found this floating yoga studio.

  Wow! what a pleasant surprise! I had no idea how fun doing yoga on a paddleboard would be. I'm familiar with both activities and always wanted to try paddleboard yoga.... read more

Kelly, our instructor, gave clear instructions for all levels of yoga students. She has these really cool moorings to connect your board to while you're posing on the board so you don't float away. :-)

I highly suggest gettin' your yoga on...on the water!

  I'm a true beginner but wanted to challenge myself. It was a wonderful experience. From the simple sign up process, detailed instructions on what to expect, the pre trip instruction... read more and then Kelly's expert help while in the water. I'm not the most athletic or coordinated gal so I was unsure how I'd do. The whole experience went so well that I've signed up again. The girls that took the class were mixed some experienced,some new. But all friendly and welcoming. It's a wonderful way to start your Sunday off right. Thank you Kelly for helping me feel so confident when stepping out of my comfort zone! Still smiling.....Carol

  Had so much fun paddling and doing yoga on paddle board on Lake Mission Viejo! Kelly is an excellent instructor and fun!

  I have done both the paddle yoga class and paddle and Pinot. Both are so so fun. Kelly creates an atmosphere where friendships are formed and you feel empowered to... read more try something new. The yoga classes are perfect for beginners and more advanced yogis. Sign up now!

  Wow. I don't even know where to begin. They were completely unwilling to work with our party and basically didn't care that I was going through a personal family trauma.... read more They are so terrible to work with. Just chose a different company to work with because they are complete not compassionate.

In response to the owner's reply: I was not given extra time and when my friend reached out to try and get extra time the owner did not respond to her. Completely ignored her. Please don't reply with a lot like that. My friend tried to work with you when I clearly was unable to and you didn't respond to her. Of course my other friends aren't going to give you money when we haven't heard back from you on the status. If you had responded to my friend, you would've gotten the advanced money. One of my friends was literally trying to pay it right before you removed our spot.

To the owner (again cuz you can't let it go): Please stop with responding to my review. You are just trying to make yourself look good when you are in the wrong. You didn't tell me about the holding payment until almost a week after you put us on the schedule. You should have told me first day up front. You also DID NOT give us extra time. I told you I was going through something personal and there would be a problem with getting everyone signed up by Sunday. You told me "wow just trying to accommodate you" bull crap. You had no regard with my personal issue going on - you only cared about getting your money. Which you would have gotten by Tuesday at the latest and still way before our scheduled time of Sunday. Like I said - I had friends trying to sign up and you already removed the link to sign up. Now we are just renting a party boat instead for the same time. You missed out on your money as we have 10 people going to be there. If you would have waited even a day later, you would've gotten $500!! (Well technically $400 cuz the cut off for you is 8) Instead you decide to be heartless. Your mistake for sure. Also, why would I try you again. When I went through something horrific, you treated me like I was less than human. And my friend DID contact you. Just more of your lies. Please stop trying to come off as innocent in this.

  Had a terrific Saturday morning private class.
I have always wanted to try this but I was afraid wind up a casualty to the water.
Kelly had a wonderful approach to... read more building your confidence with every pose.
Excellent instructor and a beautiful spot to get a workout while enjoying the serine view of Backbay-TY ‍

  Amazing experience with Kelly doing a restorative SUP YOGA class yesterday. I'm slowly recovering from a lower back injury. Kelly was very thoughtful & fluid in her instruction. I felt... read more so relaxed & consequently stretched myself & felt so great after the class. What an incredible way to start the day. The water at DP harbor was silky & smooth yet we could hear waves crashing on the far side of the jetty.  Kelly provided inflatable SUPS & we tethered to her floating island which is the coolest thing ever! Kelly provides an experience that you will not get with other instructors in town. She is confident, caring & FUN!

  This class is amazing!, Kelly Huck the instructor made out of our this first  experience with this PADDLE yoga fun, easy and relaxing!  
She was very patient with all... read more of us.  Thank you Kelly!!
We are looking forward to participate in next summer paddle YOGA season!!!

  Really great experience! Yoga boards are super stable, water is calm-ish compared to open water, instruction is great! Kelly, the instructor, is such a good, calm energy that my fiancé... read more (never having ever paddled and only tried yoga 3 times)  felt really comfortable.

I can't wait to go back!

  This was my first time ever doing yoga! Crazy that I didn't start off in a studio .... absolutely not!
I didn't feel uncomfortable or pressure. This was such a... read more good workout and experience. I went with a friend and the class was only six of us and it felt so good to get in there with a group with different experience levels- in yoga and paddle boarding. The women in my classes made us feel so welcome. I did fall in the water but I'm so glad I tried each yoga pose plus the water was refreshing. I recommend bringing a change of clothes! Thank you so much will be coming back!
