The Experience
I’d never tried yoga on a paddleboard before Honolulu — honestly, I was nervous about falling in. The boards were already bobbing in the water when we got there, and our instructor, Malia, had this easy laugh that made everything feel less serious. She showed us how to kneel and grip the paddle right away. There was this faint smell of salt and sunscreen everywhere — I could hear some kids shouting from the beach, but out here it felt quieter somehow.
We anchored in waist-deep water (I checked by dipping my hand in — not cold at all), so even if you’re not a swimmer you’re fine. Most of the class was sitting or kneeling on the board, which honestly felt steadier than I’d expected. Malia kept calling out pose names — “downward dog,” “child’s pose” — and then she’d show us how to adjust for the board moving underneath. I wobbled during warrior pose and nearly lost my balance; Malia grinned and said everyone does that their first time. The sunlight reflected off the water and kind of danced around our boards.
At one point, we just lay flat for savasana — eyes closed, fingers trailing in the ocean. I could feel the gentle rocking under me and hear nothing but waves lapping against plastic. For a second I forgot anyone else was there. After class, people chatted about where they were from; someone mentioned they’d done a day trip Machu Picchu Cusco last year and said this felt just as grounding in its own way. I still think about that quiet floating feeling sometimes.
