Instinctively, we know that being near water reduces stress, brings peace, and makes us healthier and happier. Similarly, the practice of yoga provides the very same benefits. Through yoga we deepen our awareness of the breath, synchornize breath with movement, and cultivate focus, flexibility, balance and strength.
The mission of Dragonfly Paddle Yoga is to serve the communities of, and visitors to, Colorado Springs and Monument, and combine the joy of being on the water with the practice of yoga. Founded in 2017, we are the premier source for Paddleboard Yoga, SUP Rentals and Experiences, plus Aquatic Fitness & Yoga in Colorado Springs, Monument and Woodland Park.

Having flown the earth for millions of years, dragonflies are creatures connected to water. Through its metamorphosis, the dragonfly is a symbol of transformation and adaptability in life. As the energy within that sees all of our true potential, dragonflies remind us that anything is possible. Connect with your strength, courage and happiness, and take your yoga practice outdoors on the lake with Dragonfly Paddle Yoga.
We were honored to share the practice of Paddle Yoga with the founder and publisher of Pride Journeys - the premier source for LGBTQ travel. Lauren Farrauto of Yoga + Life Magazine explores how yoga has become a new and exciting activity in Colorado over the past several summers, with an interview of Christine Malmborg.
Our Aquatic Fitness & Yoga class combines dynamic, flowing yoga sequences with low-impact, high-intesity workouts for building flexibility, strength, balance, endurance and overall fitness. Class is 60 minutes in length and open to all levels of practitioners. Aquatic Fitness & Yoga is a great compliment to your existing fitness regime or for starting a new one.
Since ancient times, humans have naturally gravitated to the water for its healing and transformational properties. Many ancient cultures believed that the water element was crucial to balancing the body and finding physical harmony. Today, many of us still flock to the water, especially in the summer, to find clarity and to calm the mind.

Had an amazing day in August learning to Paddle Board at Quail Lake!
The instructor was great! We received excellent guidance, including some very helpful ways to get back on the board in case we fell off. We were given a ton of free time on the lake to enjoy ourselves. It was a great way to experience paddle boarding for the first time.

This was my first time doing yoga sup and I didn’t know what to expect. I loved it. The price is great for the length of the class and quality equipment included. Christine is a great instructor and she gives plenty of alternatives so that any level can do the class. She transitions you well, allowing you to do things you probably didn’t know you can do! I’m looking forward to taking more classes. I did it at monument lake, which was perfect.

My family and I had a magical experience doing the glow paddle boarding! Christine was wonderful and went out of her way to make sure we had an enjoyable time. She even paddled out and got several photos of us under the moonlight. Highly recommend Dragonfly Paddle Yoga for your next adventure!

I LOVED my experience with Dragonfly Paddle Yoga. It was SO much fun and a great workout! The instructor was kinda and fun and able to clearly instruct those of us new to paddle boarding while also encouraging us to just have fun. It was a drive (I live in Denver) but I can't wait to go back!

What a great experience! I was a little nervous when I arrived because I had never done paddle board yoga before. Christine made it really comfortable and by the time we got out on the water I was nothing but excited. Being out on the water was incredible but my favorite part was how empowered I felt by my instructor and my classmates. Thank you for this beautiful experience. Everyone should try it at least once and I will 100% be looking forward to doing it again. Don’t tell yourself you can’t, because you can!!!

We participated in the SUP Glow full moon paddle at Quail Lake this past weekend. It ended up being a beautiful night and amazing experience.
That was my 2nd time and my daughter's third with Dragonfly Paddle Yoga. Each time has been a unique and relaxing time that we have really enjoyed. We highly recommend!!

My family visiting from out of town attended the Dragonfly Paddle yoga class and absolutely loved it! The instructor was so knowledgeable and friendly! Both my son and daughter, who had never been on a paddle board before, said they would take the class again!

Yoga on a paddle board is a remarkable experience and one I recommend to all. Christine begins the 90 minute class as she gently eases us into presence, mindfulness, and calm as we sit comfortably under the open sky on a body of water. We take this time to feel the rhythm of the ever changing sway of the board as the water taps gently under our seat. There is a peacefulness with this practice that comes from being fully present in nature, with all senses fully alive. Christine guides and encourages all of us to reach, expand, be courageous and keep smiling. We laugh, we grunt, our legs tremble
