Take time to breathe in nature and paws for a moment finding balance, challenge, and peace in the great outdoors.
Stand up paddle board yoga and stand up paddle board with your dogs— Chesapeake, Norfolk, Virginia Beach & Suffolk, VA
Pose Paddle & Paws
Founded on pure passion for yoga, paddleboarding, and dogs.
Let the board be your yoga mat.
Breathe and paws is a floating studio that offers a unique opportunity to take your yoga practice in nature or just to try something new. This is a place where you can paddle, practice, and play and it’s ok to fall. I encourage you to be YOU, young or old, in shape or not, we will meet you at your level so you can find your happy place. We want to share with you the tranquility of gliding on water while you explore the environment and the boundaries of your own comfort zone. Offering multi level classes, workshops, one on one private lessons with your dog, and more. These private lessons teach our dog how to be comfortable, confident, and safe on the board, a two day experience. So not only are you doing something great physically and mentally for yourself connecting with nature and your dog. You're also posing and paddling for a purpose just by posing and bringing your pup along. This helps to raise money to grow “Marilyn Star Foundation.”
My promise is to only deliver safe and enjoyable experiences for your mind, body, soul, and dog. So come paddle with us! Let yourself surrender to the joys of being in the outdoors, just breathe and paws.

SUP Yoga
90 min class for $50
The sequences are designed to help you find balance, strength, and peace in your practice. We begin all of our classes on land with a few minutes of basic SUP instruction and safety to ensure everybody feels comfortable on a paddleboard. We then paddle to a chosen location which will be marked with a buoy to anchor together to our floating yoga studio. Starting with grounding meditation and ending with floating savasana. No experience is necessary and we welcome beginners in both yoga and paddleboarding.

Marilyn Star Foundation
In honor of Marilyn Star (8/28/09 - 12/25/22) we have created a non profit organization in order to help families care for their pets in emergency situations. So a percentage of Breathe and Paws profits will go towards the star foundation along with any donations offered.
My decision to donate to The Star Foundation is very personal. My best paw friend Marilyn and I were in a situation this past Christmas where I had to take her to the 24/7 Pet Emergency hospital. After the exam we came to a heart breaking decision to say good bye to my sweet girl, and had her laid to rest. Then reality hit and I was handed the bill!
Many people are not aware of how expensive medical procedures are for our dogs, and how limited our options are for financial help especially in an emergency situation. Our mission is to help families get their pets the emergency care they need in order to survive.
My Story
A Native of Virginia but a wanderer at Heart. Recently traveled from Colorado and came back with my dogs and a new passion for paddle boarding. And so Breathe and Paws was born combining the two loves of yoga and paddling in the great outdoors. Bringing Nature into our practice can not only bring us a sense of relaxation, serenity, and bliss but also ground us deeper in our practice, if we let it. I am a certified 500 yoga alliance teacher and certified SUP Yoga Instructor through The SUP Yoga center in St Augustine, FL. Currently I teach indoor cycling and yoga at Torch Hot Yoga Studio and Onelife Fitness. Retired Personal Trainer and OCB Pro figure bodybuilder. On another note don’t be surprised to find my little buddy Brodie on a board with us, or one of the other dogs in my pack.
SUP DOG?!
Hello and Woof! My name’s Brodie I’m a five year old Boston Terrier a certified therapy dog and a SUP DOG! I love being on the board and swimming in the water. I’m sure we’ll get a chance to meet on the water, along with the rest of the pack.
