Stand Up Paddleboards are really quite stable, safe, and a lot of FUN! We’ll provide some basic instruction at the beginning of each class including the perfect set up, mounting, effective paddling form, balance, and all the good stuff in between. You’ll be a SUP yoga pro in no time!
Enjoy the sensation of floating and feel the weight of daily life drift away. Sink into the gentle sounds of water lapping against your board as you breathe with the ripples. It’s empowering, invigorating, centering…and fun!
We’ll see you on the water!
Did you know we also offer yoga hikes in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains? It’s a great addition to your SUP yoga practice! Always feel free to get in touch if we can help you plan your wellness activities in Asheville.
Your safety and the safety of our guides and community is of the utmost importance. To that end, we’ve taken a close look at our policies and procedures and have updated protocols for each tour, service, and experience we offer.
The following points are specific to SUP Yoga:
Concerned about joining a public class? No worries! Private SUP Yoga Classes for your group are available daily pending guide availability.
No need to worry about being in enclosed transportation with folks outside of your group. All parties arrive separately and meet at the riverside put-in.
Social distancing is a breeze in outdoor spaces. Our guides are a friendly bunch but will refrain from hugging, hand shaking, or getting close unless necessary (injury, first aid, etc). If you encounter other folks on the trail, the guide will encourage the group to step to the side, allowing plenty of room for other hikers to pass. You’ll find plenty of room to spread out on the mountain top. Enjoy the spaciousness!
All equipment (board, paddle, PFD) is thoroughly sanitized before and after each use. If you have your own equipment and feel more comfortable using it, please feel free to bring it along!
We’re committed to doing our part to care for our employees, community, and guests and we cannot do it alone. As part of our shared responsibility, we expect you to: communicate clearly with us regarding any health concerns you may have; if you feel ill, have Covid related symptoms, or have recently cared for someone with Covid-19, please stay home and alert us 24hrs or more in advance when possible (we will issue you a refund in full); be patient with, understanding, and supportive of new procedures in place. These policies are meant to keep all involved as safe as possible and to support our business in remaining open!

We are all eternal beginners. You’re in good company. The yoga session is appropriate for all levels. All of our instructors are accustomed to teaching to varied levels of experience and will be happy to offer modifications and prompts throughout the class.
Stand Up Paddle boards are really quite stable, safe and a lot of FUN! We’ll provide some basic instruction at the beginning of each class to ensure that you’re set up for a great experience. We also strive to maintain a ratio of not more than 8 students per instructor so we can offer a lot of support along the way.
Private classes are available daily for groups of 1 – 16 pending instructor availability. For groups smaller than 6, there is a flat fee of $240 to hold a private class. Public classes are also available for a reduced rate if you don’t mind joining in with other folks and the timing works for you (see FAQ “I’m traveling solo or with a small group…do you have a public option?” for more information).
Yes! Public classes are typically held:
Tips are never obligatory but are always appreciated. If you feel you had a wonderful experience, the average amount shared is $5/person or $20/group.
An alternate way to show your appreciation is to share a review of your experience online and give your hardworking guide a shout-out. Your kind words mean more than you know! You can find us on TripAdvisor, Google, Facebook, and Yelp
Full group cancellations more than 72 hrs prior to your scheduled experience are refundable minus a $10/person admin fee plus any fees charged by our local partners or you may choose a store credit for 100% of your purchase price. Out of respect for the instructor’s time, cancellations between 0-72 hrs prior to your experience are non-refundable.
NOTE: If individual members of your party need to cancel due to Covid, we will refund that group member in full provided minimum thresholds for group size are met (ie: we have a minimum charge of $330 for a private SUP Yoga class). These minimums ensure all experience providers, guides, instructors, etc are paid a living wage for their work. Thank you for your understanding as we strive to remain as flexible as possible in uncertain times!
All SUP Yoga classes are for adults age 18+. If you’d like to bring your family, please contact us to inquire. We’ll see what we can do!
