My wife and I went to an evening class and it was wonderful. We got a great stretch and enjoyed the relaxing vibe. I forget the name of the instructor but she was with skylight yoga and she was great. Also the weather was perfect at 6pm as the sun was setting and it wasn't too hot. read more

One of my favourite things to do when I'm in Miami. Have been going for years and it is very special. The instructors are always positive and genuine. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Miami Beach. read more

What a beautiful way to start the day. Instructors and styles vary but one constant is the beach and the ocean and the fact that it doesn't get hot till the class is over at 8am. A mat is not recommended. A towel is better but get one that is big enough and doesn't get all sandy right away. Some people bring sun glasses to block sand when doing inversions. Be prepared to get sandy. Some people come in swim suits and jump into the ocean after class. Warm welcoming community of yogis. Must try for yoga enthusiasts who enjoy the outdoors. read more

Third Street Beach Yoga - The view - Yoga Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

See all

Pros: try to attend one of these classes every time I'm in town. What's better than sun salutation to great the morning sun on the beach? The sun is still low in the sky and bathes my body with a neutral warmth. The feel of the sea breeze rushing over me. Being on a nearly empty beach with only a handful of other people. I always feel peaceful and content before/ during/after class. Cons: a lot of people treat it as a "free" class, but their website recommends a "$5 donation." I usually donate. I use a beach towel instead of a mat since it cleans off better. Bring something to weigh the 4 corners down because the aforementioned wind can be rough. Yoga on the sand sounds like it would be more gentle and cushiony; it's not. The sand makes balance poses tough and it's a very hard surface to lay on during corpse pose. After I workout here, I usually walk over to the Big Pink for a big old breakfast. That's bad right? read more

Lets sEE how many times I can use the word "epic" in a Yelp review. Winner gets a secret, epic Yelp gift! Everything about this yoga claSS is epic. From the views to the instructor, all are epic. Even my longboarding ride over here was epic. I love how the claSS ends perfectly just as the sun is seTTing. You gueSSed it, epic. It is also surreal how gorgeous the ocean and sky blend as one, at the end of another epic day. My sister is a yogi and my uncle is a yoga Master, so i figured now it's my turn. Yay for the newbie yogi! This class was the perfect starting point for me, as it went at a pace beneficial to all levels (I think lol). I engaged in some hard core breathing exercises and various challenging yoga poses, which all equated to an epic feeling my body hasn't felt since I was in the 6th grade. Or maybe it was just the fiesty flatulence I've been fighting to get out since the wEEkend. Talk about a relief. JK ppl. It was since Taco Tuesday. JK again ppl. 3rd Street Yoga is the perfect studio for all yoga practitioners. #Namaste #Epic #Greenlife #YinYang PS Bring a large, epic towel! read more

Third Street Beach Yoga - I spy a Yoga Master! - Yoga Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

This is probably the best yoga experience that I have ever had. And I've been practicing yoga for several years now. Thank you Trip Advisor for this little gem. Beach Yoga is how I spent my final evening in Miami, and it was a much needed zen time. This was pretty easy to find, I walked to 3rd street a bit on the earlier side because, well, it's Miami, and a beautiful day, and I wanted to take a dip in the ocean! I wasn't sure what time the yoga practice started, as they have one that meets at 7am and then at 5/6pm. For those of you wondering, the 5pm start time is for the winter months. 6pm for spring/summer. Here's the website for all that information: http://3rdstreetbeachyoga.com/3rdStreeBeachYoga.com/Home.html My instructor was the friendly Joaquin. He was really great, very calming and welcoming. Such a different vibe than NY. And back at home, I'm not accustomed to April evenings in the high 70's, on the beach, doing yoga facing crystal blue waters. Ahhhhh..... We moved through sun salutations, breathing exercises, down dog, planks, warrior series and other poses that yoga newbies would feel comfortable doing. Of course, as in any yoga practice, listen to your body and do what works for you. At one point, we moved off the towels and did eagle in the sand - wow, THAT was a challenge. It was interesting to have the texture of a blanket in the sand and being directly on the sand as opposed to having a hard studio surface. If I was a local, I'd be here every single day. It inspires me to create my own little yoga movement on our beaches, but it's just not the same. Still, it won't stop me from doing warrior 1-3 this summer at Robert Moses... :) Pro tip - bring a large blanket and then put your towel on your beach blankie. And classes are by donation, I think most people give $10, which is what I donated. Our class ran until almost 7:30pm. That's a bargain, in my book. Everyone chatted after class and I met so many cool people. One woman was headed to Brooklyn the week after I left, and the instructor was also familiar with the area I'm from. This was such an incredible and peaceful experience. If you are in the area, you must check it out. Namaste. read more

We showed up for the evening yoga one night and found an empty beach. (Nothing was posted on their Facebook page about a cancellation, either.) Refusing to give up, we woke up at the crack of dawn another day hoping to have better luck. We did! Benjamin showed up and started us on-time (on-time Miami time) for sunrise yoga. It was a really cool experience! I've been listening to my meditation app with beach waves as the background noise for a month leading up to this trip and kept imagining it would be real; on this morning, it was. Doing yoga in the sand is a bit tricky, but it was a lot of fun. Feeling the morning sun on my face was perfection. TIPS: 1. Bring a towel, no mat. 2. Make peace with the fact that you will get sandy. It's inevitable. You'll be fine. :) 3. Bring cash to pay for your wonderful class. It's by donation, but come on. Don't be cheap. 4.

Third Street Beach Yoga - 6:04pm. No one here :-( - Yoga Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

See all

After partying on South Beach the night before, My friends and I dragged ourselves to Beach Yoga and I am SO thankful that we did. Beach Yoga has the be the BEST kept secret in Miami. Beach Yoga was the most relaxing and rewarding yoga experience I've ever had. The ocean, the blue sky, the crisp ocean air and the peaceful rise of the sun, who can ask for a better yoga environment. The instructor was welcoming and walked among the class correcting poses and giving instructions. For a small donation of $5, Beach Yoga was the best way to detox or energize you for the rest of your South Beach weekend. TIP: use an extra sheet from the hotel as your mat read more

Third Street Beach Yoga - scorpion, downward facing dog and childs pose - Yoga Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

The first night we got in we went to the beach and saw a group practicing yoga by a cute orange and red lifeguard hut so we decided to google "Miami Sunrise Beach Yoga" and low and behold we found Third Street Beach Yoga to be the group we saw AND it's donation based! How amazing! I didn't catch our instructors name but she was adorable and definitely told us all to embrace the unbalance that sand can create and don't worry about falling and trying new things. There were people from all walks of life - from a man who had to be somewhere in his 70s transitioning from crow to a headstand to young people who have never done yoga. The turn out was probably around 12 people which is nice because you can get individual attention and our instructor came around to make alignment adjustments which is something I LOVE in a class. They meet daily at 7 am and 5 or 6 pm depending on if its winter or summer. I'm not really sure how people can leave a negative review when you can decide not to pay if you didn't enjoy it but to each their own :) (also I would still donate but that's just me) It's such a pleasant surprise to find people teaching yoga out of a love for it and not to monetize it - especially in somewhere as expensive as Miami. I felt wonderful the entire rest of the day read more

Third Street Beach Yoga - Everyone just shows up in front of this lifeguard stand- very informal! - Yoga Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

What's better than waking up with the sunrise on Miami Beach? A free (donation suggested) yoga class to greet that SoBe sunrise! Third Street Beach Yoga meet ups are one of Miami beach's best kept secrets. They've been rolling since forever with a loyal group of devotees and instructors who teach via suggested donation. Classes tend toward more traditional Hatha and Iyengar style sequences, although yogis can speed up the pace for a more vinyasa-style practice of desired. It's very come-as-you-are, unpretentious, and highly recommended among locals in the South of 5th neighborhood. I think I've found the secret to all these beautiful happy South Beach people... read more

I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE this. It was perfect. Came here for sunrise and sunset yoga during my last trip, and both experiences were amazing. I loved yoga on the beach. I loved that it was carefree and no judgement. I loved listening to the ocean and seeing the sun rise in front of me. I loved watching the clouds change the mood and color of the sky. P.S. Bring a towel! And cash! read more

Bosssss that this donation based yoga riiiiight on the beach! It seemed like a healthy mix of tourist visitors and locals, and the class was decently challenging, and definitely good for a variety of experience levels with yoga. You can bring cash as a donation, or they're also taking Venmo now that Covid is a thing. Also, no one was wearing masks during the class except for the instructor, and we were all about 6 feet apart from each other on the beach. It's definitely hard to balance on the sand so be prepared for a bit of a challenge compared to the hard floors of a regular yoga studio. It was such a beautiful experience to take this class and then walk home along the way it is. I highly recommend it! read more

Great place to drop in if you're passing through. I was on my way back from Cuba with just a one night stay in South Beach. My hotel told me about this free/donation based yoga opportunity. It's simple to find at 3rd and Ocean near the orange and yellow lifeguard station. You can't beat a beautiful sunrise and yoga. Came for Saturday morning 7a class and there was just a handful of people. The instructor was helpful and came around to help correct postures, etc. Left a $10 donation and would definitely visit again when in the area. read more

Third Street Beach Yoga - Sunrise plus yoga = love. - Yoga Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

Staying for a month in Miami, I really didn't want to give up my yoga practice. Lucky, I found this little gem just steps away from the condo I was renting. LOVE! How gorgeous to watch the sunrise while doing morning yoga - wish I could bring this home with me to London. Just one tip: remember a large yoga towel to lie on. I brought a normal sized one the first time and was covered in sand 10 min into the class. read more

sunrise / sunset... fresh air... beach babes... Yoga. Doing yoga on the beach is serene yet exhilarating. The sunshine instills energy in to your body, provoking your practice. The sand acts as a shock absorber, reducing impact, which allowed me to deepen my practice. I have attended 3 classes on the Beach @ 3rd Street and ((by far)) enjoyed Heather's classes the most. Actually, I couldn't say enough nice things about Heather. She was able to customize classs to fit everyones needs, she was able to adjust me into poses and help me to deepen my practice. Heather was in no rush to leave after class and was more than willing to stay after class, socialize with the yogi's and/or work on poses one-on-one with her studens. A girlfriend of mine practiced yoga for the first time at the Beach with Heather and didn't struggle though the class one bit. Thank you Heather, for being flexible/accomodating. If you are a local, or a visiting Yogi, ((evn the newbies)) you mustn't miss out on Beach Yoga.It's by far one of my favorite things "to-do" A few items to bring with you to beach yoga: a large towel or blanket, yoga mat, bottle of water, 5$ donation + tip for the instructor, camera. read more

Third Street Beach Yoga - the Beach House @ 3rd Street -- during Sunset - Yoga Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

I would like to give more stars as I am a big Yoga fan, but unfortunately, I never got a chance to experience Beach Yoga. I visited Miami Beach during the second week of April 2013 and came out twice on different days for the 5pm session. The first time, several of us were waiting for the class to begin, but no instructor showed up. We asked a few other locals and got different answers to the start time: 5:30, 6:00, 6:15pm. By 5:45, I gave up and left along with the rest of the crowd without any Yoga. The second day I came was overcast with light rain, though the temperature was in the 80s, so it was no big deal, but again no instructor came by 5:30, so I left again. Is this beach Yoga still happening? It would be nice if their website was kept updated with the correct class times. I recognize that it is a volunteer session and therefore the class time might be malleable, but it wasn't clear when the actual start time was supposed to be. A daily update about classes running or not would also be helpful. I don't know when I'll be in Miami again, but I hope to get a chance to check this out in the future and revise my review! read more

I came for the toes-in-the-sand, sound-of-the-waves experience more than the actual yoga. It wasn't as peaceful as I was hoping, with a drum circle nearby, a bride and groom posing for photographs on the lifeguard stand, and tourists circling around us filming the entire class. As hard as I tried to close my eyes and focus on my breathing, all I really wanted to do was shush people. BUT! The instructor was awesome, with a voice loud enough to be heard over the wind and late-in-the-day beach lingerers. She gave some nice adjustments too, but verbally instead of physically. We had a sweet little sequence of sun A's to start off and get the heart rate up, and then she moved into a series of basic arm balances to take advantage of the sand as a soft surface for anyone who feared a face plant. I liked that the instructor was super communicative and open for feedback from our small group. It felt like a rare opportunity to get some one-on-one attention. The worst part was having sand trickle down my arm and scatter across my face, into my eyes, whenever i raised my hand in the air. The best part was seeing my toes against the bright blue sky while in shoulder stand. I would come back with friends if someone wanted to experience yoga in this unique way, but I'll stick to studios next time I'm in town and craving a good, sweaty, sand- and audience-free flow. Tip: I was super jealous of the girl who had brought a huge sheet and then put her towel on top of it. A regular towel (like the kind you would take from the pool at your hotel--not that I would ever do something like that) is just not big enough and scrunches up under your hands and feet every time you move. read more

If you are staying in South Beach, you definitely need to join in! My husband and I did the early evening yoga. Even if techno music from Ocean Ave. is part of your breathing, it is still tranquil. The poses aren't too easy, nor are they too challenging. You can make it more challenging by adding to your poses. We chose yoga on the beach and a walk to follow as a date night vs. going out and had a blast. Can't wait to go tonight! read more

I found this place while looking for things to do in Miami. It was such a pleasant surprise in South Beach to have FREE yoga! It's my first time doing yoga on the beach. On a Sunday afternoon, the group was pretty small, about 10ish people. It would've been harder to hear the instructor if it was bigger. I was able to hear her fine, except for when we lay down on our backs. A normal size beach towel was fine for me. But some more experienced peeps brought two towels or a supersize one, because you might bring your knees to the side. It was such a calming experience, posing a stark contrast to the always hustling Ocean Drive a block away. read more

Daily at 7am and 6pm (5pm summer time) there are yoga classes on the beach by the life guard house on 3rd Street, Miami Beach for only $5 donation. What does it mean living or visiting South Florida? It means that you want to experience to the fullest beach, ocean, clouds. That's main reason why you should do Beach Yoga. For me it just doesn't make sense to do it in the studio, like you are doing it in any big city and not to do it outside surrounded by the vastness of the sky and the sound of waves. Beach is like best studio in the world - always different and you can breath fresh ocean air, watch sunrise or sunset, clouds, seagulls... You don't have to be member, you can come whenever you want. It was so cool when I first did it - I saw group of people doing yoga on the beach and just joined them. Since then it became my favorite exercise. read more

Heaven...smooth sand, blue sky, gentle breeze, rolling waves, and YOGA with HEATHER Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturday at 7 AM- 3rd and Ocean. Bring a large towel or sheet and get ready to experience an invigorating class that is gentle enough for beginners yet challenging for those who are used to practicing yoga. With Heather's great energy, understanding of alignment and spot on adjustments, she will help you move deeper into poses than you can even imagine - creating sounds of WOW, that felt great. It's early and peaceful, ...the parking is free and with a suggested donation of $5 - what more could you ask for! Come and play with Heather - every class is fun and different. read more

Great Experience: Cool, relaxed, good sport. Highly recommended. I started by chance 3 weeks ago and I could not give it up. All teachers are excellent and well prepared. They know their stuff and help a lot to the beginners as They concern about correcting poses and giving instructions. Beside their are experienced, all of them are very nice and friendly. Really liked them and always start on time! The experience on the beach, was the most relaxing and rewarding ever. It is so cool to be on an open space & close to the sea. Very peaceful and pleasant. The other good thing is the price, from $5 donation.. which is nothing for an hour and half class in Miami. I have just started doing Yoga, so I am not an expert, but I encourage people to come and try, as I did. read more

It's a really good way to start the day with a positive attitude and meet new people!! For sure I want to come back and start this new experience!! read more

Those who tell you that Yoga cannot be done in a studio might be right, but that's where my love for yoga started so I can't deny that. I decided to cross that line where I wanted to try new avenues and step outside my boundaries because I wanted to break that comfort zone with the only yoga instructor I had practiced with. I almost felt like I was cheating on her, I was reluctant but enthusiastic at the same time. You can automatically spot this group on 3rd and Ocean by the lifeguard house. Our Miami weather definitely helps when you get out of work early and want some meditation for a low donation. I've done it a couple of times and keep going back for more. read more

Absolutely wonderful!! Took the 7am class with Pom and she is great. Nice gentle practice in the morning to get the day started. They offer both morning and evening classes that are donation based. If you're in the area, definitely worth checking out. read more

YOGA: South Beach has a tradition of yoga every morning at dawn and every evening as the sun sets on the Third Street Beach. After a long week of work and exploring the city, I didn't really want to wake up super early, but I'm so glad that I did. There were about 25 of us greeting the dawn. I think what will stick the longest with me (aside from the incredible view, the fellowship, and the playful sea birds) were the directions. "Stretch your toes out towards the ocean." "Breath to the rhythm of the waves." "Left hand stretching towards the palm trees - right hand, reaching for the ocean - chin up towards the dawn sky." Towards the end of the session, we were told to shove sand up under our mats or blankets in order to find a comfortable sitting position. This totally cracked me up; you don't need props on the beach. read more

Third Street Beach Yoga is AMAZING!!!! My MOH planned morning beach yoga for us for my bachelorette party. She had such an amazing experience communicating with Benjamin and Maria prior to our class. Maria, our instructor, was just wonderful.... what a perfect class and experience. Even the ladies in my group who were not yogis really loved it.... the energy at the end of class was amazing. Maria was very relaxing, knowledgeable, and accommodating. She even took a few pictures of us during the practice and after. I HIGHLY recommend these wonderful people... please support their business! Thank you again Benjamin and Maria! read more

If you are near South Beach you have to do this. It was absolutely fantastic. I did the Thursday 7am class with Heather. Good class. She gave me some very helpful corrections. The weather was perfect and the waves were a soothing background. I envy the people who live here and get to do this all the time. I took advice from a fellow Yelper and brought a sheet from my hotel to use as my mat. People gave anywhere from $5 to $10 to the teacher after class. Still way cheaper than any yoga class I've ever been to. So much fun and worth waking up early!!! read more

LOVE IT SO MUCH! This is an update 6 years later. I keep coming back here every time I am in Miami Beach. It is my ONLY reason for coming back to Miami! Thank you, incredible yoga instructors!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE IT! A UNIQUE AND INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE! I cannot say enough good things! Stumbled upon it on my vaca and came back again a month later, to do beach yoga EVERY DAY, sometimes TWICE a day, sunrise and sunset. A MUST-visit when in South Beach. DO bring a cardigan, though. It does get a bit chilly both in the morning and evening. The views are incredible and the experience is extraordinary. I learned SOO much in the 10 days that I was here! I plan on going back here every time I am in Miami. In fact, I can't wait until the next time! The class can be as basic or as intense as you choose. So, do not feel discouraged or intimidated if you are just a beginner; each teacher pays close attention to each student and tailors the intensity level to each student's skill. SOOO WORTH WAKING UP AT 6:20 for! (And I NEVER wake up for ANYTHING). read more

I am so happy I found this class. Yoga classes in studios can become very expensive and for a college student like me its not easy. But beach yoga is the best, and its a free community class, they just ask for a small donation for the teacher. My favorite teacher is the monday and saurday teacher (at 6pm) I think her name is Erica. She is so peacefull, while she is teaching its like she is singing, beautiful! also when we are meditating at the end of the class she goes one by one giving everybody a small foot rub! yummmm! read more
