Paddle Board Yoga Group & Private Sessions

🌊 Sunset Paddleboard Yoga, Breathwork, Meditation & Chanting

Victoria, British Columbia

Namaste, beautiful yogis. 🙏🌅

Step away from the noise of everyday life and come reconnect with yourself, nature, and the elements through a unique Sunset Paddleboard Yoga experience in Victoria, BC.

Imagine floating peacefully on the water, surrounded by nature, practicing yoga as the sun slowly sets around you. Feel the gentle movement of the water beneath your board, breathe in the fresh air, listen to the sounds of nature, and allow yourself to become fully present in the moment.

This experience beautifully blends yoga asana, breathwork (Pranayama), meditation, and mantra chanting into one immersive practice designed to nourish both body and mind.

Paddleboard yoga creates a beautiful opportunity to explore balance—not only physically, but also energetically and mentally. Through the natural elements of earth, water, fire, air, and space, we can cultivate a deeper sense of connection, presence, intuition, and inner peace.

Yoga is the union of body and soul, the self and the divine. 🍃🌊

Come as you are. No previous paddleboarding or advanced yoga experience is required.

🧘 What to Expect

🧘‍♀️ Yoga Asana — Movement & Balance

Practice a flowing sequence of yoga postures while floating gently on the water.

The paddleboard creates an entirely different experience from practicing on land. The subtle movement of the water encourages you to slow down, become more mindful, and engage your core and stabilizing muscles.

You’ll have the opportunity to develop:

• Balance and coordination
• Core and full-body strength
• Flexibility and mobility
• Body awareness
• Concentration and mindfulness

And don’t worry if you’re not able to do advanced poses.

Yoga isn’t about being a contortionist. It’s about developing a stronger, healthier body and a more balanced mind while learning to be present with yourself.

🌬️ Breathwork — Pranayama

Prana is often described in yogic traditions as the vital life force carried through the breath.

We’ll explore mindful breathing techniques inspired by traditional Pranayama practices. Depending on the class and conditions, different breathing techniques may be incorporated to encourage relaxation, grounding, focus, or renewed energy.

As you breathe deeply while floating on the water, the natural rhythm of your breath can begin to synchronize with the movement of the water and the surrounding environment.

Breathe in. Let go. Be here. 🌬️🌊

🧘 Meditation — Stillness & Presence

After movement and breathwork, we’ll create space for stillness.

Floating on the water, surrounded by nature and the evening sky, provides a beautiful environment for meditation and mindfulness.

Allow the outside world to become quieter as you turn your attention inward.

This is your opportunity to pause, release the day’s stresses, and simply be present.

🕉️ Mantra Chanting — Vibration & Connection

We’ll also explore the ancient practice of mantra chanting.

Using sound, rhythm, breath, and vibration, chanting can become a powerful way to bring awareness inward and create a deeper sense of connection.

As the sun begins to set, we’ll allow the sound of the mantra to resonate across the water and within ourselves.

Om. 🕉️

You don’t need to be a singer or have any previous chanting experience. Simply listen, breathe, and participate in whatever way feels comfortable for you.

🌅 Experience the Magic of Sunset

There is something incredibly special about practicing yoga at sunset.

As the sky changes colors and the evening light reflects across the water, the entire practice becomes an immersive experience.

The combination of water, movement, breath, meditation, sound, and sunset creates an experience that is both grounding and uplifting.

Every sunset is different.

Every class is different.

And every person brings their own energy to the water.

🐾 Wildlife You May Encounter

One of the most magical parts of practicing Paddleboard Yoga in nature is being immersed in the environment around you.

Depending on the season, weather, tides, and a little bit of luck, you may see a variety of local wildlife during your experience, including:

🦅 Bald Eagles
🐦 Great Blue Herons
🐦 Ravens
🦆 Ducks and other waterfowl
🦦 River Otters
🦭 Harbour Seals
🐟 Fish and other aquatic life
🐿️ Squirrels and other small wildlife along the shoreline

The waterways and shoreline around Victoria are home to an incredible variety of birds and marine life, so every outing can be a little different.

You might be quietly flowing through your practice when an eagle flies overhead, a great blue heron stands patiently along the shoreline, or a curious seal pops its head above the water. 🌊🦅

Nature is part of the experience.

We simply observe and appreciate the wildlife from a respectful distance and allow them to remain in their natural habitat.

🌿 Who Is This Experience For?

Whether you’re an experienced yogi, a paddleboarding enthusiast, completely new to yoga, or simply looking for a unique way to spend an evening in nature, you’re welcome here.

You don’t need to be flexible.

You don’t need to be an advanced yogi.

You don’t need to be an experienced paddleboarder.

Just bring an open mind and a willingness to explore.

The practice can be adapted to different experience levels, and the focus is on connection, presence, movement, breath, and enjoyment—not perfection.

🌺 Meet Your Instructor — Sarina (Yan)

Namaste, beautiful yogis. 🙏

I’m Sarina (Yan), and it brings me great joy to welcome you to Paddleboard Yoga.

Yoga and paddleboarding have both been deep passions of mine for many years. My love for combining the two eventually inspired me to begin designing paddleboards and start S Life Shop Paddle Boards in 2021.

I completed my 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training in Isla Mujeres, Mexico, in 2023, followed by a 500-hour Advanced Yoga Teacher Training in Kathmandu, Nepal, in 2024.

Before beginning my formal teacher training, I had already been practicing yoga regularly since 2015.

My time studying in Nepal deeply expanded my understanding of yoga. Learning from experienced and traditional practitioners helped me discover yoga as something much greater than physical exercise.

To me, yoga is a path of self-discovery—a practice of bringing together body, mind, breath, and spirit.

It is a journey toward greater awareness of our authentic nature and, within traditional yogic philosophy, toward the union of Shiva and Shakti—consciousness and energy, often represented through the balance of Yin and Yang. ☯️

During my 500-hour advanced training, I studied a wide range of traditional yogic disciplines, including:

• Hatha Yoga
• Ashtanga Yoga
• Kundalini Yoga
• Yoga asana and alignment
• Meditation
• Pranayama
• Mudras and Bandhas
• Yoga philosophy
• Yoga physiology and anatomy
• Ayurveda
• Yoga cleansing and detoxification practices
• Mantra chanting
• Yogic lifestyle and philosophy

I have also completed training in Tibetan Singing Bowl Sound Healing.

Yoga continues to be a daily part of my life. I practice, study, read, explore, and continue learning because I believe that teaching yoga is also a lifelong journey of being a student.

🕉️ Yoga Is More Than the Pose

One of the most important things I hope to share through S Life Yoga is that yoga is much more than physical flexibility or advanced poses.

You don’t have to be able to touch your toes.

You don’t have to stand on your head.

You don’t have to be able to perform complicated poses.

I’m still working on many of those things myself. 😊

Yoga isn’t about becoming a contortionist.

It’s about learning to become more present.

It’s about developing strength—not only in the physical body, but also in the mind.

It’s about learning to breathe through challenges, becoming more aware of ourselves, cultivating compassion, and learning to love and accept ourselves exactly where we are.

Traditional yoga encompasses far more than asana—the physical practice that is most commonly associated with yoga in the Western world.

Through S Life Yoga, my intention is to explore and share these other dimensions of yoga as well: breath, meditation, mantra, philosophy, mindfulness, connection with nature, and the journey inward.

Because the practice doesn’t end when we step off the mat.

Yoga is how we live.

How we breathe.

How we treat ourselves.

How we treat others.

How we experience the present moment.

And how we learn to live a life that feels authentic to who we truly are.

🌺 Your Instructor

Sarina personally leads many of the Paddleboard Yoga experiences.

If Sarina is unavailable for your scheduled session, the class may be led by another certified yoga teacher from our teaching team.

Our intention is to make sure you still receive a safe, welcoming, and meaningful yoga experience while enjoying the beauty of nature and the water.

Sarina (Yan) 🌺
