Staying healthy in the 305 requires more than frequent trips to Miami’s best gyms—especially if you’re hitting the best bars in Miami on the reg. A visit to one of the best vegetarian restaurants in Miami is a start, but you’ll want to do more than load up on veggies to really get in shape. For a holistic approach to wellness, try flexing your muscles (and relaxing your mind) with a class at one of the best yoga studios in Miami. From hatha to vinyasa, you're sure to find a style to get you sweating and feeling Zen. 

Considered a holistic gym, I Am Equilibrium in Doral is a place to heal and inspire. Classes range from ab- and glute-intensive aerial sessions to breathing and stress exercises, as well as chakra classes. If you’re looking to reap the mental and spiritual benefits of yoga, opt for a sound bowl meditation class, which features the soothing vibrations of Tibetan crystal singing bowls.  

Located in the Edgewater neighborhood just outside of Wynwood and Midtown, TRIO caters to the area’s diversity with progressive styles and a packed schedule—including lunch-hour classes for nearby young professionals. Founders Arianne, Michelle and Carlos bring decades of expertise and awareness to the various practices offered, ranging from AcroYoga (done with a partner) and Jivamukti to more traditional hatha and vinyasa. For those brave enough to defy gravity, the studio offers two levels of aerial yoga comprising all sorts of inversion poses. 

A Miami sanctuary for more than 17 years, Prana Yoga Center offers more than 70 classes in a range of styles each week. There are those you have probably never heard of, like Iyengar yoga, which uses props such as belts and blocks to aid in poses. Then there are more calming classes, including a special candlelit session that's open to all levels (although it's not recommended for first-time students). Prana is nestled on a quiet Coral Gables street, where, on a nice day when the studio windows stay open, you'll hear birds chirping and the creak of hardwood floors under your instructor's feet. Be sure to ask about new student specials, including two classes for $20 and the first month of unlimited for $99. 

This beautiful, homegrown studio in the heart of Coconut Grove makes you feel like you’re practicing in a friend’s backyard. Scheduled classes range from traditional to eclectic, from challenging, fast-paced yoga to therapeutic and gentle-stretchy yoga. The studio also offers pre- and post-natal classes, as well as vinyasa and hatha styles. Occasionally, Dharma hosts late-night Saturday sessions (dubbed "Dharma After Dark") featuring live musicians.
