Surf Yoga Maui — Attraction in Maui

SURF YOGA MAUI is the GREATEST! I have attended a number of group and private yoga lessons with Summer and she is an excellent instructor! She is very patient as a teacher....with all level of students. It is obvious that yoga is Summer's passion as she has a phenomenal and regular practice of her own in addition to her yoga classes. It takes a lot of dedication and love for the art of yoga to reach her level of accomplishment. Her classes have helped me to improve my strength, flexibility and balance. Summer has an outgoing personality and is extremely motivating in addition to being sensitive to the needs of others. From being around her, you can tell that health, nutrition, and physical fitness are important in her life and she incorporates what she teaches into her daily living. If visiting Maui, I would highly recommend Surf Yoga Maui and Summer for an invigorating yoga session on the beach and then top it off with surfing or SUP with her husband, Eduardo. He is the BEST!

While visiting Florianopolis, Brazil I was fortunate enough to have Eduardo introduce me to stand-up paddling. I had never done this before, but thought it might be something I could do. I was a little nervous as I have not spent much time doing water sports over the years. Eduardo gave us a lesson on the sand along with safety instructions before we went into the water which made me a little more confident. Once in the water, he was extremely patient and encouraging as an instructor and made sure I was comfortable before he left my side. I was so proud of myself as I was able to get up on my second try and was able to enjoy standup paddling around the beach cove for quite some time. I am excited to know that Summer and Eduardo are now on Maui as my husband and I will be visiting at Christmas and have plans to do more yoga and SUP with them. Thanks Summer and Eduardo for the...

Just left a review on TripAdvisor...

Excellent lesson (I am a 100% beginner and was up and surfing on the first wave, although, full disclosure, I am an athletic person and not scared of wiping out/making a fool of myself. At. All.), professional outfit, very nice people running the place.

You meet at their shop front (it's easy to find because Summer sends you a follow-up email after booking with great directions and contact info), walk across the street to their van next to the park to grab boards, water shoes and get started.

There's about 10-15 minutes of work on land, where you go over safety, how to get up on the board and, very important, how to fall. Then, it's off to the water. Once you paddle out, Eddie turns you around, gives you pointers and sends you off with the first good wave (if you're up for it... I'm sure he tailors the pace of the lesson to each student), still giving pointers from behind (like when to stand up, which is incredibly helpful when you have no idea how to time a wave, which beginners clearly couldn't know how to do).

Both the husband and I were up and running immediately (no doubt looking goofy as anything but up and riding a wave towards shore all the same!). We did that straight for two hours and were sad when the lesson was up, even though my arms felt like jell-o from all that paddling.

Seriously fun way to spend a morning (go early... you won't get burned and the wind won't have whipped up yet) and is definitely something I'd like to pursue longer term thanks to such a fantastic first...

Ah, where to start :) First, if you're visiting Maui, you have to try surfing and/or SUP'ing. And if you do, Surf Yoga Maui is undoubtedly the way to go!

My wife and I actually live here in Maui, but had never stand-up paddleboarded (SUP'ed) before. Based on a several local recommendations, we signed up for the Surf Yoga Maui's combo SUP/Surfing lesson - and had an absolutely awesome time!

From the start, Eduardo was incredibly understanding and patient. My wife was initially a little nervous around waves, but Eduardo made certain she felt completely comfortable - so much so, that by the end of the lesson she was surfing all sorts of waves and having a blast. In fact, she didn't want to get out of the water when the lesson was over!

While the surfing was an amazingly exciting rush, the paddleboarding was a little more mellow, but just stunning - clear waters, turtles swimming around us, and whales breaching in the distance. Talk about paradise on earth!

Throughout the lesson Eduardo was great; providing us with helpful pointers, explaining the intricacies of the ocean and waves, and making sure we had an unforgettable time. He is truly a master of the water and an incredible teacher. Summer was very helpful in organizing our lesson and made sure everything was taken care of. It was great to not have to worry about a thing :)

Since our lesson with Surf Yoga Maui, we've been out on the water on our own many others times - but always fondly look back out our lesson and...
