  • Days: Tue. Thur.

Looking for a new, fun way to stay in shape? Take your workouts to the pristine waters of Isle of Palms!

Once the basic paddle skills are accomplished, the instructor will lead the class in core-strengthening exercises on the board similar to Pilates and Yoga (includes push-ups, plank, various core exercises, stretching, squats and other movements / poses that will increase overall balance). And don’t worry…with our seasoned instructors; most students do not fall in the water! Each class is one hour and fifteen minutes. Trip is offered Tuesday and Thursday 8 - 9:15 a.m. Cost is $38 per person. A 24 hour reservation is required. Call 843.886.2292.
