Finding a Time to Breathe and Paws with Your Dogs
Welcome to Breathe and Paws
Where You and Your Dog Move, Breathe, and Grow Together
At Breathe and Paws, every moment is an invitation to slow down, move with intention, and deepen the bond with your best friend. Here, it’s not just about exercise or training—it’s about shared experience and mindful connection.
From Stand-Up Paddleboard Yoga to our Learn-to-Paddleboard with your dog workshops that build trust and teamwork on the water, every class is designed to help both ends of the leash grow stronger, calmer, and more connected. Join our Pack Walks to practice centered, balanced walking for calm, confident dogs—or take your journey deeper with 108 Dogas, where you and your pup flow through 108 sun salutations together.
Looking for quiet moments? Our Meditation with Your Dog sessions offer a space to slow down, breathe, and share peaceful energy side by side.
At Breathe and Paws, we believe mindful movement creates balanced dogs and grounded humans. We’re more than just a dog-friendly activity space—we’re a community where adventure, connection, and balance come together. Every class, workshop, event, and walk is crafted to help you and your dog live more present, joyful, and connected lives.
Adventure. Bond. Breathe. Paws.
Come move, explore, and grow—with your best friend.
Unleash the joy of connection—where every step brings dogs and owners closer together on Pack Walks.

SUP Yoga

Our thoughtfully crafted sequences are designed to cultivate balance, build strength, and foster a sense of inner peace throughout your practice. Each class begins on land with a brief yet essential introduction to SUP fundamentals and safety, ensuring every participant feels confident and at ease on the water. From there, we paddle together to a serene spot, where we anchor and transform our boards into a floating yoga studio. Classes flow from a grounding meditation to a peaceful floating savasana, offering a truly unique and restorative experience. No prior experience in yoga or paddleboarding is required—beginners are warmly welcomed.

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.
