Kihei’s sunlit shores offer a surf experience that balances the exhilaration of riding waves with the calm, mindful presence of yoga-influenced coaching. Surf Yoga Maui transforms this part of Hawaii’s famed west coast into a welcoming, skill-building playground for newcomers and families eager to get on the board. Known for its gentle reefs and mellow morning swells, Kihei provides an ideal natural classroom where beginners can gain confidence without battling towering surf or hazardous currents.

The team at Surf Yoga Maui specializes in custom-tailored lessons that range from private one-on-one sessions to small group classes, along with a focused 3-day surf progression.
