Tobey Booker
SUP Instructor / Guide
Tobey grew up in Vancouver BC and can now be found in White Rock. She spends lots of time with her two children, husband and dog enjoying the beautiful coastal bliss of BC.
Her career on the water began in 2012 with Paddle Canada’s Stand Up Paddleboard Instructor training and soon after that, she completed her Yoga Teachers Training in Kelowna BC at Trinity Yoga Centre. Connecting with Kristy through SUP Vancouver introduced SUP Yoga as a terrific addition to her personal practice and teaching skill set.
Time with Tobey on the water is full of smiles and a love for connecting with each other in an all-encompassing practice. All levels will enjoy Tobey’s classes feeling energized, encouraged and inspired.
