Yoga Floats — Local services in Honolulu

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...

Whenever I go on vacation, I make sure to try local yoga studios - and Yoga Floats is one of my favorite experiences in Hawaii and out of everywhere else I have gone. I signed up for the combo paddle boarding and SUP yoga class and it was absolutely fantastic, perfect for first timers and for experienced SUP participants. Signup on the website was easy, and directions for the class very clear. Kelsey was an amazing instructor from start to finish - friendly, accommodating, knowledgeable. The paddle boarding class was a great way to get accustomed to being on the board - we even got to see some turtles! There was a 30 minute break between classes, and Kelsey helped me find a place to get some desperately needed coffee (the 6 hour time change was a lot for me), or she gave us the option to paddle more, if we wanted.

The yoga was AMAZING. I am a yoga instructor on the mainland, so I have some yoga experience. Kelsey's cueing was great, giving options for the several people in class who had never done it before, while also giving options for more experienced yogis to really have fun - not an easy feat for an instructor! We had a class ranging from maybe 12 years old to someone who was in her 60s (I'm 50). Each participant could make the class suit their own needs, and make it as easy or challenging as they needed it to be. The ocean is a fantastic neutralizer for everyone, and the location was perfection.

I highly recommend Yoga Floats for anyone looking for yoga on Oahu - I really wish I could use the 20% off coupon for returning students! I'm saving it, just in case.

Thank you for an amazing...

Disappointing. The class was fine, but the Friday night instructor on 8/15/25 was extremely unprofessional toward myself and another woman. I paid $80 for this class which was a gift to me. I arrived early and offered to help the instructor with the boards and she immediately had a negative attitude toward me, did not greet anyone, and just sent me away to wait. Then the instructor was unprepared and brought enough boards but not enough anchors for everyone so one woman had to sit out. Third, I planned to take my own photos but she asked before the class started if I wanted photos for $10 and I said yes, so I left my phone in the car. During photo time she only took pictures of a few people then went back to her board, leaving me confused if I was in any photos. Afterward myself and another woman asked if she took pictures and she said, “no you should’ve asked for them during photo time” … huh? I specifically said yes, I want photos right before the class started. I reminded her that and told her she clearly did not pass along the memo that we needed to ask a second time during the class for photos if multiple people were skipped. She snarkily smiled, rolled her eyes, and laughed about it with no professionalism, accountability, or offer to just quickly go back out in the water while we were on the beach. Or even any kind of discount for the next class to get pictures then. I was really excited for this class and wouldn’t have been upset if it was a genuine mistake met with accountability, but instead she shifted the blame for her own confusion on her clients. Neither...
