Yoga fans, let go of the blasé. The Palm Beaches have a better way. Visit our tropical paradise and while you’re here, take advantage of these unique ways to align your mind, body and spirit:

Twilight Yoga at the Light

On the deck of the historic Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse, beneath a majestic banyan tree, a serene yoga experience unfolds every Monday evening. This practical yoga class is open to all levels and showcases spectacular sunsets from a unique vantage point. Make sure to bring a mat and flashlight. Times vary throughout the year to coincide with the setting sun, so check the calendar to plan your visit.  

Paddleboard Yoga

Who needs studios, wood floors and mats when you can practice this ancient art on a stand-up paddleboard in the warm breezes of Lake Worth Lagoon? At Paddle Boarding Palm Beach, you’ll experience the invigorating beauty of yoga in the outdoors, along with the added challenge of holding your balance atop an unstable surface—engaging different muscles than you may work in a normal yoga class. Along with guiding participants through poses, the instructor also teaches basic SUP techniques.  

Yoga in the Air

Remember back in the dark ages of the last millennium when people did yoga on the ground? What were they thinking? Aerial yoga is the latest trend, and Delray Aerial Yoga is a great local option. Experience this gravity-defying form of yoga with the aid of silk “hammocks.” Benefits include spinal decompression, better alignment and posture, and deeper poses thanks to inversions that help the lymphatic system.  

Bamboo Garden Yoga

You know that friend down the street who makes a big fuss about her bamboo yoga mat? Wait until you tell her about your amazing yoga session in a bamboo grove! Bamboo Garden Yoga in Delray Beach offers vinyasa and yin yoga for all levels, in the midst of a peaceful garden where it’s just about impossible not to find Zen.   

Yoga on the Beach

With 47 miles of soft, sandy shores, you didn’t think we were going to forget beach yoga, did you? One of the most relaxing yoga experiences in The Palm Beaches takes place at Red Reef Park in Boca Raton, where Yoga at the Beach leads multiple hatha and vinyasa yoga classes—including sunset sessions that foster a strong connection with nature amid an inspiring backdrop.  

Full Moon Yoga

What better way to bring your yoga practice “full circle” than to take a class under the light of a full moon? Hilton West Palm Beach offers Full Moon Yoga throughout the year, with mindful stretching and gentle postures to nourish mind, body and soul. And if you’re someone who likes to cap your class with adult refreshments, stick around for cocktails at the Galley bar.  

Yoga with Critters

There are many ways to walk on the wild side in The Palm Beaches, but you can channel your inner spirit animal while practicing yoga, too. Keep your eyes peeled for manatees during Mindful Moments Adult Yoga at Manatee Lagoon in Riviera Beach. And at Downward Goat in Loxahatchee, you can practice “Namaste” during Yoga with Little Goats—possibly the most adorable fitness class on earth.
