    We had the best time! Yoga is for everyone and Topaz is amazing! Highly recommend if you have a couple of hours while you're on Oahu. What a great way to start the morning!!

    We had such a fun time doing this morning SUP yoga class! The instructor was super helpful getting us set up and even provided waterproof pouches for our phones so we could take them with us. The class was peaceful out on the water and we had lots of time to play around with more challenging yoga poses at the end. Topaz happily hung around to guide us through some partner poses and snap some cool photos. Highly recommend!

    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 creative date idea!

    Keiki Summer Camp 2023 rocked! My girls, 7 & 9 are repeat campers and absolutely adored every moment they spent with Topaz. Their days were scheduled and paced great with variety of activities that balanced time on the paddle boards, yoga, snacks, crafts and fun. We can’t wait for her next camp but in reality will probably book some time with her to get out on the water as a family. Topaz is so knowledgeable, passionate and kind, this is evident by how much preparation, thought and work she puts into making each experience with her magical.

    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 for sure!!!!

    First time doing paddle board yoga. It was an Awesome experience to have while in Waikiki! Topaz was my instructor, she is great, very accommodating and the poses are fun, but challenging.

    The SUP yoga class with Topaz was AMAZING! Definitely one of the highlights of my vacation. She did a great job introducing our group to SUP & verbally guiding us through the moves & postures of yoga. She was full of helpful little tips & step-by- step foot placements that were yoga muscle memory on land, but on a paddle board needed some slight variation to succeed. At the end she was so accommodating with pictures, noting each student's best poses & being sure to capture them. I would certainly be a regular in her class if I lived here!

    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 expected to be!

    I will never forget this trip. Topaz with Island Paddle Bliss was so thorough with her training. Her, and her team made everything so easy on us. Which really allowed a lot of space for joy, and we were able to really take in the knowledge shared. I would 1000% recommend this to anyone who is ready to push their limits and tap into the potential with this incredible practice.

    We had the most amazing family SUP practice with Topaz. She was so genuinely kind and helpful. She was clearly able to tailor the practice to suit our preferences. Once we found our way a bit, she was able to throw in challenges and encourage us to try out some additional asana. Very humbling to take your practice off of solid ground but extremely rewarding! 10/10 would recommend.

    Topaz offers the PERFECT SUP yoga in Waikiki. If I could take her class every week-I would! I highly suggest this be added to your vacation itinerary. You will not regret it. Plus-it's a great class for beginners, families, couples, etc. Just do it!!! She provides sealed bags to put your belongings in so you can take them out with you on the board and they will not get wet. She also provides a water proof phone case and will take pics.

    If you are looking for something for your kids to do, I would highly recommend this company! I am so, so glad that we signed our kids up for this half day adventure with Topaz. They had an amazing time, she was so sweet with them and they loved every minute of this class. They kids did yoga on the paddle boards which was super cool, they did some paddleboarding and swam. Topaz even taught my daughter to make a beautiful lei. My daughter wore this for 3 days straight and was so proud of it. Topaz was super communicative and even provided lunch and snacks for the kiddos which made things a lot easier on my husband and I since we were vacationing in a hotel.

    SUP Yoga in Waikiki with Topaz was overall fun, she was fantastic with communication leading up to class but she was very challenging to hear on the water bc she has a very sweet, soft voice. The class itself was enjoyable, but after the class Topaz did head off quickly… I ended up having to help the other lady who took the class with me to get her paddle and equipment out of the water as she was struggling and Topaz was MIA. I have done a lot of SUP Paddle over the last few years, and I did feel like this class was slightly over priced but probably typical for the tourist area.

    A great unique way to start your day in Waikiki. No experience necessary. I thoroughly enjoyed it and hope to book again before my vacation is over!

  • 5/5 Alex R. 2 years ago on Google
    My partner and I had SO much fun doing this!! It was a very relaxing way to start the morning and we were even able to paddle around at the end of class. I would absolutely recommend this class to anyone!

  • 5/5 Robin M. 2 years ago on Google
    It was my first time doing yoga and paddle boarding and it was amazing!!!! It was so peaceful doing yoga out on the water. I fell a few times because I’m such a rookie lol but this is greatly recommended!! I would book again!!! Topaz was so friendly and understanding!! It was GREAT!!

    My mom and I went to our first SUP yoga with Topaz. Topaz was very friendly and professional and you can tell that she loves what she is doing. Even though it was windy, Topaz made sure we were safely working through all the exercises. We had tons of fun and super great experience! My mom and I loved the SUP yoga class with Topaz! I recommend Topaz to anyone who wants to try SUP yoga or do it on the regular basis. You would love having Topaz as instructor☀️

  • 5/5 Annel A. 2 years ago on Google
    Topaz is great! The class is so much fun!! I’ve done yoga before but I’ve never paddle boarded or done yoga on the water, this was a nice mix of the two. I highly recommend taking this class if you’re in Honolulu and like yoga. :)
