Hana Pepin - San Diego
Hana has always had a passion for the being in the water. Growing up in San Diego, it has been a long journey amongst the crystal shores and sun kissed sky, each day a brand new day, a new adventure, a new breath to breathe. Yoga became apart of her life four years ago when she stepped onto her yoga mat. Since then she’s watched herself grow by getting her 200 RYT with Corepower Yoga, certified in Vinyasa and Yoga Sculpt.
I love encouraging people to push past their boundaries, when we move past what blocks us, we grow stronger from the inside out.
Taking her practice not only off her mat and into her life where she found clarity and abundance within her true self, she carried it into the water.
Paddle Board yoga offers a new way to find balance, whether its your first or thousandth time on the water, there is always something new.
Helping to explore the idea that we are all here to enjoy each and every moment, there’s nothing better than soaking up waves of positive energy of the glassy smooth bay surrounded by San Diego’s beauty.
