“Perfect afternoon on the Hudson ❤️ Tara was very flexible with scheduling while keeping an eye on the crazy weather. Her teaching techniques were on point and applicable to any level of paddle boarding. More importantly her love for yoga, water & paddle boarding is contagious …. even before I took her class - the IG acct @rivertownsSUPyoga - Tara’s passion illuminated and am greatful to have taken a lesson. Can’t wait for the SUP witch event 🧹❤️🧹”
“Wonderful lesson, Tara is patient, supportive and adjusts to all levels.

“I had an amazing experience with Tara from Rivertowns SUP & Yoga. As a beginner I learned how to paddle, turn and stop in a beautiful cove in Sleepy Hollow. I can’t wait for my next lesson and the annual SUP Witches Festival.”
“June 2023-What an amazing paddle boarding experience! This was my first time on the Hudson and I was so nervous. Tara was knowledgeable, easy to talk to & captured wonderful pictures. I enjoyed every minute.
August 2023-This was my third time paddling with Tara on the Hudson. The water was choppy and difficult to navigate. I was hesitant but Tara was so encouraging. She provided me with feedback during the session so I could remain calm and confident. I felt safe with Tara the entire time.
Taking SUP with Tara a few times was definitely the highlight of my summer!”

“What a great way to spend a Saturday morning, taking a paddleboard lesson with Tara. The Hudson is beautiful and the class is amazing. Tara is delightful and friendly and a skilled instructor. The class is relaxed and lots of fun. Tara provides excellent basic instruction that lets the students build confidence and feel supported, as they learn and practice new skills. She has an experienced eye and she is very observant, giving little tips as you paddle to help you develop good habits. And there’s always good conversation and laughs to be enjoyed by all.”
“Awesome beyond words. Incredible views; exercise; concentration; relaxation. I would recommend yoga experience although it’s not required. Good balance is required! Be sure to bring water.....and be prepared to get wet, that’s the exciting part!”
“I was a first timer SUP let alone trying to do yoga on it but Tara was such an amazing teacher. Very patient and made us feel comfortable! Not only was I able to stand on the board and row back but I also enjoyed doing yoga on the water😃. I can’t wait to do it again for sure.”
“Such a fun way to spend a morning! Tara is great and it is amazing to be out on the Hudson!!! What a great workout too!!”
“I took stand up paddle boarding lesson with Tara and it was amazing experience! I highly recommend to take a lesson with Tara to everyone who wants to learn how to do paddle boarding. Thank you!”
“What a great experience! Tara was very thorough in her instructions and made sure we were all comfortable before heading out with our boards. Once in the water, she coached and encouraged, making my experience very successful. I would love to do this again but I live 2 hours away.
If you have been wanting to try paddle boarding, go for it! It was so much fun.”
“Spent such a lovely, peaceful morning on the Hudson River with Rivertowns SUP & Yoga! Tara, thank you so much for offering this exceptional experience. I keep coming back because I LOVE it!”
“I loved my first time on a board - in a SUP yoga class. Fun, challenging and Tara made it feel less intimidating.”
“Great class with something for everyone, beginner to advanced.”
“I loved it so much that I bought a board!”
“Tara’s SUP yoga class was incredible! Challenging and relaxing at the same time. Forced me out of my comfort zone but in a well-supported way, thanks to Tara! I’m itching to do it again!”
“Great class! Instructor had a great attitude. Structured the class in a way to improve positions while preparing the body to combine and execute the moves. Loved the focused mantra. Looking forward to the next class!”
“I love paddleboarding with Tara and Rivertowns SUP. So peaceful out on the water and always a good group and good workout.”
“Had an amazing SUP yoga class with Tara. It was my first time SUP with some friends, we were all super nervous, and Tara was an awesome instructor. I had no idea how I’d end up in a yoga pose - but sure enough an hour later I was doing my warriors. She gave really clear instructions for how to progress with SUP and to boot she was a peaceful and motivating yoga instructor. Doing child’s poses and savasana on an anchored paddle board are sooo relaxing. My friends and I want to go again. I also was surprised at how much I enjoyed learning how to paddle. Highly recommend!

“My husband and I had lots of fun doing a SUP Yoga class last weekend. It was a great way to get exercise, enjoy a beautiful setting and have some laughs (yes, I did fall in, but the water was warm 🙂 ). Thanks, Tara, for making us feel like we were on vacation without leaving our home town!”
“My first time doing yoga on the river - incredibly relaxing, like being in Tahiti - but on a budget! The shavasana on the board was just amazing, gentle waves lapping around my board and the sounds of the river. Tara broke it down step by step so that it was easy and not intimidating at all. You’ve got to try it!”
“Rivertowns SUP & Yoga is an incredibly special experience that provides a whole new perspective on paddle-boarding and yoga! Tara Scheller is a supportive, caring teacher who adapts cheerfully to whatever the morning brings, whether it’s mild waves, specific requests or varying levels of paddle board or yoga experience. Whether you just want to paddle, paddle and stretch, meditate on water, or try a whole new way of doing yoga, Tara will accommodate you. I took my sister here as a special birthday gift after trying it myself for the first time (I had never been on a paddle board before and my sister doesn’t even like yoga!), and now we want to come back with our whole family! Thank you, Tara, and Rivertowns SUP & Yoga!”
“I went to my first SUP yoga class with Tara and Rivertowns SUP & Yoga and I was initially scared that I was going to fall in the water and make a fool of myself but Tara made sure to instruct us on how to gain stability first and then confidently move on the board. I am not saying that it is easy, because it was a great way to fire up those core muscles but the poses surprisingly lend themselves well to the practice on the board. AND nothing could beat being on the water, breathing in the sunshine and fresh air in nature! Thank you Tara!”
“Tara is an incredible spirit!”
