Everyone could use some time to destress and unwind these days. Luckily for us, Miami offers all kinds of community yoga classes and we rounded up the best spots to make it easy for you the next time you want to share your love for the practice or kick off your very own yoga journey.
Keep in mind that you may need to make a reservation to these yoga classes. Make sure to BYOM (Bring Your Own Mat) and a bottle of water to stay hydrated. But most importantly: Have a fun and meditative time!

Where: By the lifeguard tower at 3rd street and Ocean Drive
When: Every day at 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. (April to October) and 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. (November to March)
We can’t think of anything more relaxing than yoga by the beach, and it’s a plus when you’re catching the sunrise or the sunset. Held 365 days a year, switch out your yoga mat for a towel and listen to the sound of the waves. The tradition goes back to 1998 when newly-certified yoga teacher October Rose began her day practicing yoga at the exact location. Over time, other yogis joined her and, before she knew it, she was leading classes every morning and evening. She has since moved to India, but several instructors have kept the practice going in her honor. Because they have no other funding other than donations from students that go directly to the teachers, cash donations are heavily emphasized.
8. Acro And Yoga Jams
Where: South Pointe Park, 1 Washington Avenue
When: Wednesdays and Sundays at 6 p.m.
Acroyoga combines yoga and acrobatics and it looks just like it sounds. You can participate in the practice among the skyscrapers in the beautiful green park or sit back and catch the sunset for a relaxing session. For more information, click here.
