I have taken paddle-boarding lessons from Kelly. I have also taken some yoga classes and attended her sup-sip events. Based on my first hand experience, I am qualified to post a review. Kelly is an amazing and very patient teacher. Working with her has been a pleasant experience for both my fiancé and I. We highly recommend her to anyone interested in paddle-boarding irrespective of their skill level. read more

Loving paddle yoga with Kelly! I'm a beginner and she's made it easy for me to start yoga. I am able to do things at my own pace or level, but she makes me feel comfortable pushing myself and does a great job of helping me with the pose and giving me feedback on how my body needs to be positioned and how to be more grounded or centered. I now love paddle yoga!!! read more

I was fortunate to come across an EXHILERATING workout and experience a Tranquil feeling of peace by attending Kelly's Paddle Yoga class this past weekend. Being a professional athlete in other sports I was very humbled to say the least trying to balance yoga poses on a paddleboard. But the experience was breathtaking and I am so thankful and excited that I have now signed up for a lot more classes to train and calm my spirit and soul . Gratitude , FIT, sensational workout for the body mind and soul! read more

Had so much fun paddling and doing yoga on paddle board on Lake Mission Viejo! Kelly is an excellent instructor and fun!

I have taken two classes so far. I had never done stand-up paddle before. The instructor Kelly is great. Experienced, informative and patient. She explains everything very clearly. It was easier than it looked for me. The lake is a great place to learn. If you have been on the fence, I highly recommend you try it here. The yoga is basic, nothing crazy. No matter your level of yoga experience, you can do it. You can make it as challenging as you want. Everyone at their own pace read more

This was my first time ever doing yoga! Crazy that I didn't start off in a studio .... absolutely not! I didn't feel uncomfortable or pressure. This was such a good workout and experience. I went with a friend and the class was only six of us and it felt so good to get in there with a group with different experience levels- in yoga and paddle boarding. The women in my classes made us feel so welcome. I did fall in the water but I'm so glad I tried each yoga pose plus the water was refreshing. I recommend bringing a change of clothes! Thank you so much will be coming back! read more

This was an incredibly unique experience, and I'll definitely be back! It was peaceful and uplifting out on the water, and moving around the paddle board was wonderfully challenging. Kelly was a great instructor! read more

Wow! what a pleasant surprise! I had no idea how fun doing yoga on a paddleboard would be. I'm familiar with both activities and always wanted to try paddleboard yoga. Kelly, our instructor, gave clear instructions for all levels of yoga students. She has these really cool moorings to connect your board to while you're posing on the board so you don't float away. :-) I highly suggest gettin' your yoga on...on the water! read more

Really great experience! Yoga boards are super stable, water is calm-ish compared to open water, instruction is great! Kelly, the instructor, is such a good, calm energy that my fiancé (never having ever paddled and only tried yoga 3 times) felt really comfortable. Logistics: Online booking was a breeze Emailed instructions were detailed Easy to find if you read email I can't wait to go back! read more

This is the perfect environment to try yoga on a paddle board. The water is calm and warm. The instructor Kelly is wonderful. The boards are easy for new comers. The scenery is gorgeous. Anyone who enjoys the outdoors and fitness should try this. You will not be disappointed. read more

This class is amazing!, Kelly Huck the instructor made out of our this first experience with this PADDLE yoga fun, easy and relaxing! She was very patient with all of us. Thank you Kelly!! We are looking forward to participate in next summer paddle YOGA season!!! read more

Amazing experience with Kelly doing a restorative SUP YOGA class yesterday. I'm slowly recovering from a lower back injury. Kelly was very thoughtful & fluid in her instruction. I felt so relaxed & consequently stretched myself & felt so great after the class. What an incredible way to start the day. The water at DP harbor was silky & smooth yet we could hear waves crashing on the far side of the jetty. Kelly provided inflatable SUPS & we tethered to her floating island which is the coolest thing ever! Kelly provides an experience that you will not get with other instructors in town. She is confident, caring & FUN! read more

This is an amazing experience with an extremely talented teacher. She is so good at providing the proper cues & ensuring your safety that it makes you go farther than you would in other classes. It is a beautiful experience and I am so glad to have found this floating yoga studio. read more

If your looking for an awesome experience on the lake you must try socal paddle yoga with Kelly.

Thank you so much Kelly for an amazing experience. You truly exceeded my expectations. I can't wait until the next time! read more

Wow. I don't even know where to begin. They were completely unwilling to work with our party and basically didn't care that I was going through a personal family trauma. They are so terrible to work with. Just chose a different company to work with because they are complete not compassionate. In response to the owner's reply: I was not given extra time and when my friend reached out to try and get extra time the owner did not respond to her. Completely ignored her. Please don't reply with a lot like that. My friend tried to work with you when I clearly was unable to and you didn't respond to her. Of course my other friends aren't going to give you money when we haven't heard back from you on the status. If you had responded to my friend, you would've gotten the advanced money. One of my friends was literally trying to pay it right before you removed our spot. To the owner (again cuz you can't let it go): Please stop with responding to my review. You are just trying to make yourself look good when you are in the wrong. You didn't tell me about the holding payment until almost a week after you put us on the schedule. You should have told me first day up front. You also DID NOT give us extra time. I told you I was going through something personal and there would be a problem with getting everyone signed up by Sunday. You told me "wow just trying to accommodate you" bull crap. You had no regard with my personal issue going on - you only cared about getting your money. Which you would have gotten by Tuesday at the latest and still way before our scheduled time of Sunday. Like I said - I had friends trying to sign up and you already removed the link to sign up. Now we are just renting a party boat instead for the same time. You missed out on your money as we have 10 people going to be there. If you would have waited even a day later, you would've gotten $500!! (Well technically $400 cuz the cut off for you is 8) Instead you decide to be heartless. Your mistake for sure. Also, why would I try you again. When I went through something horrific, you treated me like I was less than human. And my friend DID contact you. Just more of your lies. Please stop trying to come off as innocent in this. read more

I was very nervous about trying sup yoga, as I have only done it once on dry land. Not knowing the poses, Kelly made everything clear and was very patient. It became a non intimidating experience and I became relaxed. The group was a lot of fun and had some laughs. I highly recommend Kelly at SoCal Paddle yoga! read more

I call SoCal Paddle Yoga "my happy place" because when you are out in the water like that, you are completely in the moment and the world fades away. It's just the water, the sun, the yoga, and the experience. I can not recommend this class enough - it is fun, relaxing (she will meet you where you are at, no fears!), and a beautiful exercise in mindfulness! read more

I'm a true beginner but wanted to challenge myself. It was a wonderful experience. From the simple sign up process, detailed instructions on what to expect, the pre trip instruction and then Kelly's expert help while in the water. I'm not the most athletic or coordinated gal so I was unsure how I'd do. The whole experience went so well that I've signed up again. The girls that took the class were mixed some experienced,some new. But all friendly and welcoming. It's a wonderful way to start your Sunday off right. Thank you Kelly for helping me feel so confident when stepping out of my comfort zone! Still smiling.....Carol read more

The class is amazing!! Kelly is wonderful. If you get the opportunity, take the class.

Such a fun experience, the paddle and pinot was awesome too!

I've taken both paddle yoga and paddle Pilates classes with Kelly and she is always awesome. Love that she tailors it to what your abilities and wants are. The Mission Viejo lake is a great setting with calm waters making this a great experience for even newbies to paddleboarding. read more

Such a wonderful way to workout. Kelly is great and she really works with you for you to make the most of your workout. You have to workout anyways so you might as well be outside and on the water. read more

This was my first experience paddle boarding, but not my first yoga experience. Kelly is great at making you feel comfortable and helping you out along the way. The classes are pretty small (about 8), which is nice because she can help you if you're having difficulty with a position, or paddle boarding in general. It's great for beginners and those who are more advanced. The Mission Viejo lake is beautiful year round and the background makes for some great pictures (of which Kelly takes tons!). You'll see your pictures on Facebook not too long after class so you'll have a new great profile pic. Paddle and Pinot is also fun, you get a glass of wine/beer and some appetizers while mingling with your fellow paddle boarders before you paddle back to shore. I literally recommend Kelly/SoCal Paddle Yoga to all my friends. read more

I absolutely LOVE everything about this class experience!!! It is my second season back, and my all time favorite place and instructor for SUP yoga. Being on the peaceful lake is the BEST, and Kelly is amazing She accommodates all levels and makes sure everyone feels confident, happy, and challenges themselves at their own pace. Highly recommended for a personal or group experience. Total bliss read more

I knew a little about paddle boarding and nothing about yoga. Kelly Huck was very helpful in teaching me all about yoga and good paddle board techniques. She has a very calming personality and you can really feel it makes a difference in mind, body, spirit. read more

So much fun! Great for beginners and experienced yogis/paddleboarders.. Take your practice to the next level! You'll be surprised at how much you can do. Experience savasana on the water! read more

Second time taking a class....Kelly is wonderful and a patient instructor!! Loved it so much I bought a package of classes :)

Great classes offered by Kelly at Socal Paddle Yoga!! If you are a beginner and have never taken a paddle yoga class she will help you out and make you a pro in no time, and if you have done paddle yoga she will keep you challenged. The lake offers a quite private setting for an awesome class. Its a great all around workout, with great scenery and a wonderful instructor!! read more

Just left my 1st So Cal Paddle class on the lake. I absolutely loved the instructor (Kelly Hook) and the setting! Reconnecting the mind and body while floating on a paddle board was surreal. I highly recommend this class to all seeking exercise in a natural setting. ;) read more

I have done both the paddle yoga class and paddle and Pinot. Both are so so fun. Kelly creates an atmosphere where friendships are formed and you feel empowered to try something new. The yoga classes are perfect for beginners and more advanced yogis. Sign up now! read more

Kelly was awesome! It was only my second time doing SUP and I've only done yoga a handful of times, but I really enjoyed SUP the first time I tried it in Mammoth Lakes. For my birthday, my boyfriend got us a private lesson and we had a blast! I had no expectations going into it, but Kelly was super-sweet - she showed us how to be more proficient at paddle boarding. And when we were comfortable again she got us going with the yoga. I expected to do more swimming than "yogaing", but she talked us through the poses and even showed us some more advanced poses I never imagined I would ever do on top of a board, let alone the water! She coached my boyfriend who has old lower back and knee injuries so he'd be safe at all times. It was so much fun. She took pictures and videos for us to have evidence that we actually did it! I can't wait to go back and take some more private classes. I totally recommend SoCal Paddle Yoga to anyone - beginners and none alike - just check out her pictures! read more

Really cool class! Kelly makes it easy for beginners but also a great class for experienced yogis. A lot of fun and an overall great experience. Can't wait to get back on the paddleboard! read more
