Mission Oceah Oceah SUP X YOGA aspires to connect people of all nations with and to water.

 

Our Story 

Oceah Oceah was founded by First Nations sisters Jenifer, Sharon, and Lana, who first discovered stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) in 2009. Instantly drawn to the sport, they combined their love for outdoor adventure, yoga, and surfing to create Oceah Oceah—a space to share their passion with others. Today, the offering has expanded to include kayaking, too.

“As Indigenous women, we are taught that women have a responsibility to the water. It’s through these teachings that we find purpose and joy in sharing paddling, connecting people, and building community on the water—here on Lake Ontario and across all waters of the world.”

We believe that reconnecting with water—especially in urban settings—strengthens our relationship with nature. It raises awareness about how we relate to, use, and protect water.

​

What We Offer

You’ll find a wide range of SUP and kayak classes running from June through September. Can’t make a scheduled class? No problem—we offer private and group sessions tailored to your schedule.

Follow us on Instagram for updates on special events, workshops, retreats, and those magical days when the surf is up (yes, you can surf Lake Ontario!).

All Oceah Oceah instructors are Paddle Canada Certified, and our SUP yoga classes are taught by Yoga Alliance Certified teachers.

Roots of SUP 

Stand-Up Paddleboarding blends traditional Hawaiian canoe paddling (hoe wa‘a) and surfing (he‘e nalu). Though ancient in origin, SUP reemerged as a practical tool for Hawaiian surf instructors and has since grown into a global sport.

Today, it’s practiced on oceans, lakes, and rivers around the world. SUP is more than just movement—it's a way to connect with water, community, and self. Done standing on a large surfboard with a long paddle, it offers a full-body workout while restoring a sense of calm and presence.

Benefits -

Paddle Boarding tones and strengthens your core, arms, legs, and aligns your whole body from the soles of your feet up. Paddle boarding relieves stress, promotes balance, and the connection and interactions with nature increase your mental and over all well-being.
