Miami Life Center Yin Yoga Studio: Six Nights in Overtown

Miami Life Center, at 1940 NW Miami Ct on the Wynwood and Overtown edge, is better known for early-morning Ashtanga than for slow practice, yet its evening timetable now carries more yin than almost any studio in the city. Between Friday and Wednesday there is a yin-based class at this location six evenings in a row, ranging from a quiet 60-minute session to a 90-minute class that ends in a sound bath. If you want long holds after work, this is the deepest menu in town.

Tim Feldmann and Kino MacGregor founded Miami Life Center, and the About page says they opened their South Beach shala in 2006. The location page tells the rest: after 16 years on South Beach, the school moved into a building known as Miami Yoga Garage, which the garage's own site calls the dream of Tim and Kino. A smaller pop-up runs at 437 Lincoln Rd in Miami Beach, but the main rooms, changing areas and showers are on NW Miami Court.

One detail to ignore: some class pages in the booking system print the ZIP as 33139, which belongs to Miami Beach. The main website gives 33136, which matches the Overtown address. Studio office hours are not published, so treat the class schedule as the timetable.

Friday at 6:30 pm, Edgar Navarro teaches a 75-minute Yin and Sound class, and on Saturday at 7:30 pm Jamaal Starks leads a 60-minute version of the same format. The class page describes long-held, passive postures paired with crystal bowls and gongs, and calls it perfect for all levels. On Sunday at 6:15 pm, Susy Castillo teaches a 75-minute Yin Yoga class that is also streamed online, so the room can be quieter than the weekend sound classes.

Monday at 6:00 pm brings a plain 60-minute Yin Yoga class with Yadira Capaz, the earliest yin start of the week and the most realistic option for anyone who wants dinner afterward. Tuesday at 7:30 pm is the outlier: RnB Yin Yoga with Shannon Sollars-White, which the listing describes as a soulful yin class set to smooth RnB tunes. If silence makes you restless, that is the one to try first.

Wednesday at 7:30 pm is the long one. Yadira Capaz teaches a 90-minute Yin Yoga and Sound Bath, and the class page promises a soothing 20-minute sound journey at the end that it describes as perfect for a nap. On the Lincoln Road side, Susy Castillo also teaches yin on Tuesday and Thursday evenings and Edgar Navarro runs a Monday Yin and Sound class, useful if you live in Miami Beach.

A single in-person drop-in is $35 on the prices page. A five-class card costs $150 and is valid for three months only, with no extensions, and class cards are non-refundable and cannot be frozen. A one-month unlimited pass without auto-renew is $250. For locals, the new student month unlimited at $135 is the standout deal, though the booking page says it requires a Florida ID with no exceptions.

Regulars can choose an auto-renew all-access membership including Mysore at $185 a month or the version without Mysore at $155, both tied to a six-month commitment with an early cancellation fee of $185, according to the membership page. A yearly membership is $1,900. Seniors, students and military members get 20 percent off with valid ID, and the all-access membership includes a complimentary towel and mat.

The etiquette page was written with Ashtanga students in mind, but it sets the tone for every class here. Shoes stay in the lobby, bags and clothes go in the dressing room, and phones are switched off. The page also asks students to avoid eating for about two hours before practice, which is worth following even in yin, because deep forward folds on a full stomach are uncomfortable for an hour.

If you cancel a registration, or the studio cancels a class, the credit returns to your account automatically, according to the pass terms. Parking needs a little planning. The location page explains that the residential street parking marked on its map is free Monday to Friday from 7 am to 6 pm but needs a local permit after 6 pm, while metered street spaces cost $4 an hour and are enforced from 9 am until 3 am every day. Since every yin class here starts at 6 pm or later, budget for the meter.

For anyone ready to go deeper, Jo Phee leads a 60-hour Yin Yoga Teacher Training at the studio from Wednesday, November 4 to Monday, November 9, 2026. The page lists daily sessions from 8 am to 1 pm and 2 pm to 5 pm, an early-bird price of $1,195 if paid in full before October 31, and a regular price of $1,395.

A lighter way in is the Full Moon Sound Cocoon on Saturday, October 24, a two-hour evening event led by Yadira Capaz that combines a sound bath, breathwork, vocal activations and yin. The event page lists the cost at $45 for non-members and $40 for members, and it asks you to bring a yoga mat.

The studio sits a short walk south of the Wynwood arts district, which makes it easy to turn an evening class into a longer outing. The Wynwood Walls, at 2516 NW 2nd Ave, is the anchor of the neighborhood's outdoor murals and lies roughly 0.6 miles to the north. A few blocks from there, the Museum of Graffiti at 276 NW 26th Street tells the story of the art form that covers nearly every wall you will pass on the way.
