South Beach Vinyasa Yoga Studio: Pick Your $22 First Flow

State of Yoga, at 727 4th St in the South of Fifth corner of Miami Beach, runs a vinyasa flow every morning at 10 am, Monday through Sunday, with evening classes at 6:30 pm Monday through Thursday. A first drop-in costs $22 and a regular drop-in is $30. There are no walk-ins. Every class has to be booked online at least 30 minutes before it starts, so a spontaneous stop after the beach will not get you on a mat.

The studio does not sell itself as an invention. Its about page says plainly that it offers nothing new or fancy and describes itself as a continuation of teachers and lineages that came before. The anchor is Sandrine Kamhi, who discovered yoga in Geneva in 2002, began teaching in Istanbul in 2009 and, in her own bio, found State of Yoga in March 2018. Trademark records for the STATE OF YOGA name list her as the owner, filed that same year.

The roster explains the unusual mix on the board. Radha-Krishna Lila, an E-RYT 500 and former professional dancer from Brazil, trained with Sri Dharma Mittra in New York. Anya Davidovich came to the mat from Olympic level figure skating. Belu Bergman is a contemporary circus artist from Argentina who coaches contortion and handstands. Maile Gamez first walked into the Jivamukti studio on Lafayette Street in 2001 and now teaches the Sunday Ashtanga Remix at 9 am.

The house description calls Vinyasa Flow a medium pace practice, and that is an honest label. Most classes borrow from traditional Ashtanga, so expect sun salutations, a run of standing poses, some preparation for arm balances, dynamic stretching and a pranayama section before rest. The site never names a room temperature or promises heat. The 10 am flows Monday through Thursday last 60 minutes, while the Friday 10 am class with Radha and the Sunday noon flow stretch to 75.

Wednesday at 6:30 pm is the outlier. That slot belongs to the Jivamukti Open class with Sandrine, which folds Sanskrit chanting, breathing practice, a creative vinyasa sequence, a short teaching drawn from the focus of the month, meditation and deep relaxation into one session. Music is part of the method, and the studio says the playlist can swing from Indian kirtan to hip-hop, funk, trance and spoken word. If you want the class you will not find elsewhere in South Beach, book this one.

Around the flows sit a few specialty sessions worth knowing about. Belu teaches Handstand Technique on Saturday at 9:30 am. Frankie Bonilla leads Acro Yoga for All on Sunday at 11 am, and the class page is clear that no partner is needed, a detail the Miami and Beaches tourism board also singles out. Radha closes the working week with Yin Restorative on Friday at 5:30 pm, a 60-minute class of long holds aimed at the hips, sacrum and spine.

Everything runs on advance booking through the MindBody app or the studio website. Registration has to be done at least 30 minutes before class, and the front desk will not take walk-ins. Doors open 15 minutes ahead, the studio asks you to arrive 10 minutes early, and shoes come off at the entrance. If a class shows as full, join the waitlist anyway, because the first person on it is added automatically the moment a spot opens.

That automatic waitlist has a catch. Once you are moved in, you either attend or cancel, and cancellations only count when they are made online or in the app at least 6 hours before class. Phone and email cancellations are refused. Unlimited members pay a $10 late cancel fee or a $15 no-show fee, charged to the card on file, while pack holders simply lose the class. The policy page adds that no individual exceptions are made.

New students get the sharpest prices. A first drop-in is $22, and a three-class pack for new members is $66, which works out to the same $22 per class. For a visitor in town for a week, the $85 Weekly Unlimited Discovery costs less than three regular $30 drop-ins, and the schedule offers at least two in-studio classes every day. Locals who want a longer trial can take the $122 Monthly Unlimited Discovery before committing to a membership.

After the intro period, a single drop-in is $30, five classes are $135 and ten classes are $250. Packs stay active for nine months but cannot be frozen, extended or refunded, so buy the size you will really use. A monthly unlimited membership costs $185, or $165 a month on yearly autopay, and members can also join the live stream. Travelers can keep practicing from a hotel room with an $11 online drop-in, since many 10 am flows are streamed live.

For a full practice after work, the Monday and Thursday 6:30 pm flows run 75 minutes and end at 7:45 pm. The weekday 10 am classes suit remote workers and anyone staying in a South Beach hotel. On Saturday the choice is a 10 am flow or a noon class with Anya, and on Sunday the studio fits four in-studio classes starting between 9 am and 12 pm, which makes it the easiest day to find an open spot.

The teacher list reads international, with roots in Brazil, Argentina, Spain and New York, and a directory listing shows a 5.0 Google rating from 72 reviews. One honest judgment: skip the Saturday Handstand Technique class if you have never kicked up to a wall, since it is led by a circus contortion coach and rewards arm strength. If your flow is full, the Miami Beach Botanical Garden, at 2000 Convention Center Dr, runs Gentle Vinyasa Yoga with Franci on Sunday at 10:30 am for $22.

After class, walk south toward the water. Joe's Stone Crab, at 11 Washington Ave, traces its story to the lunch counter Joe Weiss opened on Miami Beach in 1913, and it started its 114th season in October 2026. A few minutes further on, Smith & Wollensky, at 1 Washington Ave, sits inside South Pointe Park, where the waterfront path runs along Government Cut and you can watch cruise ships slide out to sea.

The South Beach Trolley stops at Washington Avenue and 4th Street in both directions and runs about every 20 minutes from 8 am to 11 pm. Drivers have options too. Residential zones in front of the studio are free for up to 2 hours on weekdays from 7 am to 6 pm, and metered spaces line Euclid Ave and Meridian Ave between 4th and 5th Streets. Practice is barefoot and phones stay away during class.
