Island Paddle Bliss — Local services in Honolulu

I’m very happy I was able to do private instructor training with Topaz. I was there in 2020 when the island closed for the pandemic with another company that canceled. Island Paddle Bliss was the paddleboard yoga teaching rainbow 🌈 I learned a ton covering equipment, business planning, sequencing. I observed and participated in classes. It was a perfect fit for me with kids , family and group classes. I value her experience and her excellent standards for teaching. She knows how to connect well with her students to help them enjoy their floating practice. Compared to all the trainings out there this was the most thorough one. I recommend IPB to anyone looking to branch out through the modality of paddle board in their yoga teaching. One thing that stands out that I loved is how she included credentials and offers extra enhancements to elevate the experience throughout the training. I am more confident and prepared than I...

Topaz is the sweetest and most helpful yoga teacher you ever asked for! I found this paddle boarding yoga on Meetup and decided to give it a try. I am not a water person and have only done paddle boarding once (with a friend on the same board). So it didn’t know what to expect for this paddle boarding yoga! I am also not a yogi! I barely practice yoga so I don’t have the strongest form or cores. But throughout the course, Topaz provided step to step from how to bring the board out to the open water to setting up the board securely. I felt 100% safe with the board! If you love yoga and would like to try a different form of yoga. Highly recommend this activity! I felt super relaxed and meditated while in the water. I would recommend to use a lot of sunscreen, bring your own a phone protector so you could take nicer photos! This would be a fun small group hangout or...

My sister and I really enjoyed our paddle board yoga experience with Topaz this morning! She was wonderful and made the class super fun! Both of us had some paddle board and some yoga experience but not both together. However, you definitely don’t need experience to do it, she is very patient and kind. It was a great workout! The view was amazing (where she does the class), she took a lot of pics so we can have these memories, and she let us paddle board after the class for a bit too! All in all it was an excellent experience and so glad we did it, especially with Topaz! We highly recommend her to guide you through the experience! It is one of our favorite things we’ve done in Waikiki! Thanks so much Topaz for an experience we won’t forget! We hope to be back to take another class with you and will recommend you to our friends who come to visit...
