WASUP Yoga is WA's first and longest running stand up paddle board yoga community. We're celebrating our 9 year anniversary in 2020! Our yoga shala (or classroom) is uniquely situated in beautiful Shilshole Bay between Ballard and Magnolia in Seattle where we are often joined by harbor seals and great blue herons.
This waterway that is our practice space is a special place in so many ways. We acknowledge that we are on the traditional land and water of the first people of Seattle, the Duwamish People past and present, and honor with gratitude the land itself and the Duwamish Tribe.

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.

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

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.

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.

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!!

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

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!

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

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

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!

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

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
