Great teacher and very friendly staff. The scenery and paddling for the yoga class was amazing! I highly recommend and will be back again one day. read more

Wow! That was... SPECTACULAR. I bought a Groupon and was surprised that I could immediately redeem it online for a class within the same week. I took Hasna's 6pm class today and was blown away. I'm on "sabbatical" aka I quit my "grown up job" and am just bumming around indefinitely now, trying to make my heart sing. Well, sing it did... We got started a bit late (about 8 minutes, not that I'm keeping track or anything...) and it seemed to take forever to paddle into the middle of the water where we were to do our yoga thing, but it was a great workout and definitely worth the little trouble of hauling the board, etc. Oh I should tell you that I can't swim. And I was kneeling while paddling my way to the middle of the ocean (or is it lake? Whatever) because I was worried of falling into the water. However, somehow, once we were tethered to the buoy line, the board "felt" a lot more stable and I found myself downward doggy-ing on the board with no problem. It was such a surreal experience. All other on-ground yoga sessions from now on will be lame in comparison (unless James Franco shows up to the yoga class!). Between the water and the blue sky, I felt happy to be alive. I was proud of myself for the first time in a long time, for my ability to disregard the fear of falling into the water (and drowning and possibly but highly unlikely, dying) and to focus on my yoga practice instead. Warning, this is about to get so much cheesier... But I felt connected to God/the Universe/the Man Upstairs/the Higher Power and I started to truly believe that the Universe loves me ferociously, and wants me to be happy. #lifechanging (das right, had to insert a hashtag right there) OMG, is sobriety and fresh air making me delusional? There were seals okay!!! Cute seals flapping about as we were paddling into our yoga spot. And fish and seagulls. You can't help but fall in love with nature and the Universe and life all over again... Or almost for the first time, if you're me. Anyway, enough about the epiphany on water I had today. The staff were great, super friendly, helpful and encouraging. The freak factor is not high (aka it's not super hippie-ish). I dragged my sister along and unfortunately she didn't have as great a time as I did, but she was incredibly brave for being on the paddleboard for the first time and one of the staff (Andrew?) towed her and her board to the middle to help speed her along. Yay Hasna and the WASUP Yoga team! You made my heart sing :) read more

By some miracle there was an opening on my ClassPass app. I jumped at the chance!! Super easy to find with 2hr parking available on the street, as well as a few spots in their lot. I loved the small class size; only four of us including myself. The instructor took us through a short intro and set us up with paddles and footwear. We walked to the nearby cove across the street and got right in! It took about 20 minutes to paddle across the water to another cove, at which point he hooked up a line that we all attached to so we wouldn't float away. If you've NEVER done yoga or paddleboarded, I'd suggest you do a small amount of both before attempting this hybrid class. Even as a seasoned yogi, it took a bit for me to gain my sea-legs. I've paddleboarded before, but this took it to a whole new level. WEAR YOUR SUNSCREEN! I'm so thankful I did. A hat and/or sunglasses is also encouraged. The hour and 20 minutes flew by and I was wishing it was longer. Can't wait to do it again!!!! read more

How fun! exhilarating and peaceful. Challenging and calming. Something for everyone. Beautiful yoga on the water on a paddle board. It takes a few minutes to get used to waves and water motion. Hasma was the instructor. Her calm, careful words guide you through simple beginning.. you become more confident on the board as you develop the internal awareness of slightly different core major joint muscular integration. You can do modifications- she shows them or inch yourself up.. I had to inch myself up.. a littl eunsteady to begin with up to a complete pose. You have plenty of time to take in the beauty of the water and see seals, boats and other paddlers. I'm coming back. This combines 2 of my favorite things: outdoor water and yoga. I'm biking to the next one to add another favorite. read more

I wish there were more stars. It's the BEST thing EVER! Teachers are fantastic - class is super mindful (which is weird cause there are lotsa boats and stuff). It's worth every single penny! I mean who sees seals, eagles and jumping salmon during a YOGA class?! AND the instructor I had tonight (Haesna - I might not be spelling it right) is the best instructor I've had on land or sea. Tip: Go even if you think the weather isn't that great cause it's so amazing to be on the water -and I'm a huge wimp about the cold - bring a warm something to put on, you can just balance it on your board. Tip 2: Wear shoes you can wear in the water - it makes it easier - then again you can just put 'em on the board. read more

What a joke! If you're literally looking for a way to waste your money, this is it. Nothing you do on a paddleboard here is different from on land. The instructor was creepy, the price was exorbitant and the quality of the instruction was mediocre at best. Run far, run fast and save yourself some serious cash. read more

I have to admit that I didn't know what to expect at all with stand up paddle yoga but now I know why it's so popular in other cities! I'd never been on a board before but now I can't wait until my next time. WASUP keeps the groups small (there were 8 of us total in the class, which I think is about their limit) so the instructor can give everyone their attention. You start out with a tutorial on how to navigate the waters on your board. Then you paddle out into the water for about 20 minutes and line up next to each other. Then you do some yoga on the water! None of us fell in and it was super relaxing. My friend and I were really hoping for a lot of sun but it was overcast the day we went. Fortunately, it turns out overcast weather is perfect for this practice. Unless it's cold, a wet suite isn't necessary. I wore lulu luon pants that soak up moisture and dry quickly and a tank top and it was perfect. You do get a little wet so consider that when picking clothes. Wear flip flops when you're in the water to protect your feet. We got an awesome total body workout that, though challenging, was really calming and fun. Definitely check it out before the weather gets gross again. read more

It was really fun and cool experience! We highly recommend. Andrew at Surf shop was very nice and Yoga instructor Katie was very nice. Great Father's Day extravaganza!! read more

Amazing!! Can't wait to do another class. It was a super windy day which made the paddle out a bit tough, but nothing anyone couldn't handle. We got hooked onto a line between two buoys so no one would float away. I've done a little bit of paddle boarding out on Lake Union, and I'm a seasoned yogi and was pleasantly surprised that it was as challenging as it was! It's definitely a weird feeling doing poses I know so well on a wobbly board with lots of wind happening, but you get the hang of it pretty fast. It felt so good to lay on the board at the end and relax in the sunshine. I would recommended trying paddle boarding before you go, as it's easier to know what to expect and you'll be in control of your board a little more. Saw a couple cute seals poking their heads out of the water, and a bald eagle. Beautiful spot to do yoga in! read more

I LOVE this place!!! SUP Yoga is absolutely amazing, and they have done it right here. The instructors are great, the experience is amazing, and you leave feeling like a new person. I was very nervous my first session, assuming I would end up in the water most of the time, but I was delighted to find that the practice was very light and focused more on mindfulness than posture. Take advantage of package deals when they are available... you won't regret it! read more

Really? Am I really the first to review? How cool! I did stand up paddleboard yoga for the first time today with WASUP Yoga, and can unequivocally say it was the coolest thing I have ever done in my life! Had never been on a stand up paddleboard, but am a self-confessed yogaholic, so I couldn't pass up the opportunity, especially with the AMAZING 3-Class living social deal I bought! Even at it's regular price of $23 a class, it is an amazing value, you get two hours (though actual water time is really probably 1.5 hours all things considered) of stand up paddleboarding and a yoga class, when just renting a board for an hour would cost you a similar amount! The staff was really awesome and helpful, very enthusiastic and patient when I was the slowpoke of the group. They really helped me enjoy and appreciate the experience, and not get bogged down in my fear of "fallasana". The process goes like this: First, you come and check in with the instructors, who give you a paddle based on your height. Best to come a bit early so you can take care of your things (ideally, lock them in the car but they will hold them at the counter for you if necessary) and do a last minute bathroom trip. Then, once everyone is assembled, you cross the street and head to the little beach where the instructors show you how to paddleboard (if you are new) or if you've been before, you just get in and go! From there, you paddleboard across the sound right by the locks for a short distance (about 10-15 minutes) until you get to a line that they have anchored with carabiners that you hook to your board so that you stay stable during the class. From there, it's a one hour yoga class. You will be surprised at the things you can do on the board, and the things that are more challenging. It's a great class yoga-wise, easy enough for beginners but with enough challenge for the seasoned yogi. The slight waves from passing boats do make the practice and the paddle interesting at times, but that's part of the fun! Must say, I don't ever think I've enjoyed shivasana more, lying on the board with my eyes closed, feeling the sway of the water underneath me, amazing! And while I was timid on the paddle over, I really enjoyed the paddle back, and was sorry to see the end! Not to worry though, I'll be back! If you like yoga and the outdoors this is a MUST DO. Thank you WASUP Yoga!!!! read more

Wow - nothing but love for this place. After buying the most recent Living Social deal (3 classes for $35) and trying my first class with Nicole, I've decided I'm going to try and attend a class at least once every time I'm back in Seattle, even though they are regularly priced at $25 each. $25, you say?! Exorbitant. Nay. Your $25 goes a long way towards a stand-up paddleboard and paddle to match your height, a wet suit (complimentary with regularly priced classes), a short tutorial on paddleboarding form, a half hour's paddle along the shore, slowly flowing past quaint beachfront houses towards the Ballard Locks, an anchored ~45-1 hour yoga session that will change the way you look at your yoga practice in the studio, and another half hour's paddle along the shore as you make your way back to WASUP Yoga. The paddleboarding revealed itself to be a great upper body workout the next morning even though it didn't feel like a workout at all and the yoga was great for revisiting the basics of yoga poses and really connecting to a sense of balance. There was a pretty strong current on the day I went (well, according to the instructor, anyways; I personally have no idea what that means) but we all made it out to the anchoring site in time to have a nice long yoga practice. I was lagging behind the group sometimes and Nicole was great at waiting up for me, giving me tips on paddling powerfully, and just being upbeat and encouraging in general. WASUP Yoga is GREAT for: -people who are intermediate yoga practitioners and want to deepen their sense of presence and balance in their practice -people who still need to fall in love with Seattle, its gorgeous greenery, and its bodies of water -adventurers with a good sense of fun. May not be so great for: -beginner yogis who are still working on their sense of balance on land -people with motion sickness (I found myself occasionally getting a bit crosseyed and dizzy as I was trying to move in one direction but felt the board move under me in the opposite direction (hello, Newton's laws!) or as I was trying to focus my gaze but kept seeing wavy ripples of water in my periphery -people who don't have a good sense of fun and would freak out if they got wet read more

We tried stand up paddle boarding for the first time about a month before our class and when we found out WASUP yoga did yoga on the boards, we had to try. We're not major yogis and still found the class to be quite enjoyable. They give you a basic course on the boards before you paddle out to the class location and then Hasna guides you through a great workout. We found the yoga itself to be the perfect balance of challenging and relaxing. If you love yoga and the outdoors, you must try this! read more

Love WASUP! This was my second time doing paddleboard yoga but I was hooked from the first time I tried last year. Brian is the best teacher! No experience in yoga or paddleboarding neccessary. I went with a group of my friends for my birthday and all the guys were really skeptical, but they were troopers and did the class and were raving about how much fun it was after. I was really proud of them. read more

I love the idea of SUP and yoga combined! However, I think they would benefit from creating a beginners class and an advanced class. For experienced paddlers and yogis this class is very slow and too basic. I want to be challenged and the class to be worth my money. read more

I've done this a few times with WASUP Yoga and each time has been mind blowing! It is so much fun to be out on the water practicing yoga. Each time is different because the conditions are different, the group is different, the animals out and about are different, and the flow is different. My regular yoga practice & core strength have improved. I recommend this to everyone I know!! read more

A great experience! Fun and very relaxing. I enjoyed learning a new skill and enjoying the beautiful scenery. Looking forward to doing it again. read more

one word - AMAZING!! Hasna is a really fun instructor...keeping it light on the water!! I have never paddle boarded and decided to take this class and i would like more more more! :) Highly recommended. read more

Loved this whole experience. Some of the other people in my class complained about availability, I booked a couple of weeks in advance with no issues. read more

I took my first class this weekend with Hasne and really loved it. She's a great instructor and it was fun to be on the water despite the turns in weather - we had rain, some wind and a little bit of sunshine, too. Hasne is spiritual in the traditional yoga way and she was great at providing feedback to all of us in the class. I bought a three-class pass (I missed out on the Groupon, but figured it was worth it) and am looking forward to my next class. The little surf shop also has lots of cool gear there from Roxy - super cute sandals and shoes, and clothing. read more

On mid Sunday took my first class with Hasna. If is wonderful to be out on the water and practicing yoga. My whole sense of each pose was radically shifted as my balance was challenged in a unique and unfamiliar way. When we finished the class I felt as if I could have had a harder workout, then a few hours latter my core muscles started aching (in a good, 'we've been worked' sort of way). All of the involuntary muscles that are activated when we a struggling to balance had been engaged for over an hour - this is an incredible core workout, yet subtle as well. Highly recommend it! read more

My daughter and I had a fantastic day with Sup yoga. Our instructor, Hasna, was excellent. We had clear instructions and a great workout. We will definitely do it again. read more

I stumbled upon this place when I was looking for somewhere in Ballard to practice yoga. I though hmm, I love being on the water paddling and I love yoga, so decided to give it a try. I fell in love with it from the start and haven't missed a week since! The owners and teachers are really normal and down to earth people. I love taking class from the different instructors for their various techniques. Not to mention you get the beautiful mountains, seals, sea lions, starfish etc. if you haven't tried this, i'd highly recommend you do. Just give it a chance once and you'll understand why i love it so much. Not to mention that it is so easy to sign up for classes via their website and they are very responsive when you email. read more

I'm with Tina. If there were more stars, WASUP Yoga would get them. There is nothing like yoga on a paddleboard. The people are wonderful too. You'll leave feeling 100% better than when you got there. read more
