Yes! We endeavor to make everyone feel welcome to try SUP yoga. The only thing you need is an open mind. Guests should be comfortable in the water, as falling in is always a possibility, however, we will be in waist-deep water at all times. We strive to make everyone feel comfortable through differentiated instruction – offering variations and modifications for any ability level.
We will have a safe place to store your keys, wallet, or phone, but we are not responsible for any loss. Please avoid bringing unnecessary valuables to the beach.
Classes run rain or shine, however, in the event of unsafe conditions (heavy rain, high wind or lightning), class will be cancelled. We will notify you via email or phone 30 minutes prior to class in the event of a cancellation.

Absolutely! Our instructors will have waterproof cameras on the water, and will be snapping photos during the class. They are available at a cost of $10/person. You may purchase photos before or after class. They will be emailed to you within 24 hrs.
We have a maximum class size of 10 people. If a class is full, you may place your name on the wait list and we will contact you in the event of a cancellation.
Yes, we offer private classes. These classes, available upon request, will give you one-on-one attention and allow you to work on anything you want. If you are a beginner, it could be spending time learning the basics and building your confidence. If you are an intermediate or advanced SUP yogi, it may be taking time to break down a challenging posture you’ve been working on and wish to improve. Cost is $100.

If you would like to do a semi-private class with a partner or group of friends, or even for a birthday party or special event, the cost is $65/person. Please contact us for further information.
In order to ensure there is space for you in a class, please sign-up online at least 1 hour in advance. In the event that no one has signed up for a class, online booking will close 2 hours before the class.
Yes! Safety is our top priority at all times. We pay close attention to the weather and only run classes if conditions are safe. All boards will be anchored during class so we don’t have to worry about floating away. Our classes take place less than 100 feet from shore at a lifeguarded beach, in water that is about waist-deep.
Ala Moana Beach Park is an ideal location for SUP yoga. The water is generally calm and protected from wind and waves, and the sandy shore makes getting in and out of the water with the boards quite easy. Yoga Floats has obtained a permit from the Department of Land and Natural Resources (permit number CO026407) allowing us to operate our business on the water next to Magic Island.
We require 24 hours notice for any cancellations or rescheduling requests.
