1. What should I wear to Paddleboard Yoga?
We recommend wearing comfortable, moisture-wicking clothes that won’t restrict your movement or bring a swimsuit, and don’t forget sunscreen!
2. Do I need to have experience with yoga or paddleboarding?
No experience is required! Our classes are designed for all levels, including beginners. Whether you’re new to yoga, boardfit, or paddleboarding, we’ll guide you through every step.
3. How do I book a class or event?
You can book your event online via our website under Events Schedule or if you'd like to reserve a private reservation contact us directly through email or phone. We recommend reserving early, as our classes and events tend to fill up fast through-out the season!
4. What happens if the weather is bad?
While we love to be outdoors, we want to ensure your safety and comfort. In the case of adverse weather, we’ll either reschedule or cancel the event with a full refund. You’ll receive updates via email or text.
5. What should I bring to my class or event?
We provide the paddleboards and all necessary equipment, but we suggest bringing a towel, water bottle, sunscreen, and any personal items you might need for comfort.
6. Is there an age limit for your classes or events?
We recommend our classes and events for participants 18 and older. If you’re interested in bringing a younger participant, please contact us directly to discuss options as we do provide paddleboard yoga at Lake Pleasant for ages 14 and up (private bookings only).
7. What if I can’t swim?
You must be able to swim to safely participate in any of our paddleboard events, whether at the lake or pool. At the lake, if you fall off your paddleboard, you will need to be confident swimming back to it in order to get back on. For pool events, you’ll need to swim to your board, so basic swimming skills are required for your safety. If you're unsure about your swimming abilities, please contact us for further clarification.
8. Can I host a private event or group session?
Yes! We offer private classes, corporate events, and group bookings. Contact us for more information on pricing and availability.
9. Do you offer gift certificates?
Yes! Gift certificates are available for any of our services. They make the perfect gift for anyone who loves wellness and adventure. Contact us for details.
10. How early should I arrive for my class or event?
Please arrive at least 15 minutes before your scheduled time to check in, sign any necessary forms, and get settled.
