Details about your hosts:

Erin O'Malley

Erin personifies yin and yang as a veteran yoga instructor and lifetime elite competitor. As a member of the U.S. Snowboard Team, Erin competed in the World Cup and Winter Olympics qualifier before retiring her board and falling in love with yoga. Her love spread from the granite mountains to the pacific ocean where she had an immediate affinity for surfing and stand up paddle. Erin holds top level certifications in both yoga and SUP and she has been guiding students on snow, wood floors and glassy ocean waters for over a decade. Within her teaching you will receive the best of both worlds- clear, playful and inspiring instruction woven in with the knowledge of a lifetime adventure leader.

Michelle Gierst

Michelle Gierst has been stand up paddling, surfing and practicing yoga & Pilates for many years. After getting Pilate’s certified with PSC in Encino, California, she decided to advance her practice by getting Yoga certified with Yoga Mittra School in Manhattan Beach, California. Michelle’s love of the ocean and of yoga combined brought her to start teaching SUP yoga here in the Southern California back in 2010. Paddleboard Yoga changed everything and brought her practice back to ground zero. Michelle soon realized the benefits of “FLO YO” (floating yoga on and off the water) and wants to share this love with as many people as possible.

Adding to the adventure Michelle has been teaching her love of “Floating Yoga” all over the globe for the last few years, from the waters off Costa Rica to the waters in Bonaire, LaPaz and even to the far reaches of England & Spain. Her love for sharing these adventures had led her to this path and her joy in working with people shines through in everything she sets her mind to.
