My friend and I visited Honolulu for a birthday trip, and booked spots for yoga floats through our Go Oahu passes. We booked about a month in advance to ensure that we had a spot, as our class was fully booked for the morning session.
Krista was our instructor and allowed us to have an awesome experience! Although I've done SUP before, I've never tried with yoga, and am not an avid yoga-er, while my friend was familiar with yoga but had never done SUP before. We were both excited for the new experience. The emails that you receive in advance are very informative and give good guidance and direction on where to go and what to bring.
The van was easy to find, and Krista was super friendly right off the bat. You are able to leave your items in the van, so we put sunscreen on and then left everything else. You can bring a hat to keep the sun out of your eyes (helps to keep your focus with your gaze) and there are bungies on the board to keep a water bottle with you). Krista talked us through all of the positions and movements, using yoga terminology. It was helpful that we had some seasoned yoga-ers in our group, so that I could look towards them for direction if I was a little confused. I think it was helpful that Krista moved at the pace that she did, to accommodate for all levels, even for those who were not complete beginners. Krista also does a really great job of taking several photos throughout the entire experience. But also stopping to demonstrate on the board if needed.
We started out with pretty straightforward poses and an movements, but definitely moved to some more challenging variations. You may fall in, so where clothes that you don't mind getting wet in (and the water was very refreshing too!). At the end of our session, we even had a few minutes for free play to try different poses while Krista captured all the fun for us.
Krista was super friendly and helpful, and I also loved hearing about her background and story in coming to be a yoga instructor.
For those that get motion sickness, Krista even had wristbands and ginger candy to help with this.
