Miami’s New Moon Beach Yoga and Meditation Returns April 17

Mukthi Wellness Miami brought back its New Moon Beach Yoga and Meditation gathering at South Pointe Beach on Friday, turning the stretch near Jetty Lifeguard Tower into a familiar monthly stop for Miami Beach’s yoga crowd.

The free session ran from 6:30 p.m. to 8:15 p.m. and paired all-levels beach yoga with guided new-moon meditation. Eventbrite described the gathering as a place that has held space for spiritual awakening for more than eight consecutive years, and that continuity is the real draw: this was not a one-off class, but a ritual that keeps returning to the same public shoreline.

That repeatability gives the event its pull. Mukthi Wellness Miami, founded by Bruno Corvalan, has built a broader wellness operation around meditation and yoga, and its Eventbrite organizer page lists 256 total events. The moon-themed beach gatherings have become part of that rhythm, with related listings showing multiple New Moon and Full Moon sessions at the same Miami Beach location in 2025 and 2026. One Mukthi listing says those moon-lit meetups grew from a handful of friends to 100 to 300 seekers each month.

The format stayed simple and appealing. Participants were told to bring a yoga mat or beach towel, water, and, if they wanted, a light layer for the breeze. The organizers also suggested arriving early to settle in, along with optional items like a journal, pen, flower, or crystal for intention-setting. The setting did a lot of the work: mindful movement, soothing breath, chill music, and the ocean soundtrack as the moon rose over the sand.

Miami Beach gave the event a fitting backdrop. The city describes itself as the Health & Wellness Capital in its spring fitness campaign, notes that it has more than 7 miles of beaches, and says it conducts daily seaweed cleanup along the shoreline. South Pointe Park, which is tied to the beach access point, offers direct access to the water and views across the South Beach shoreline, PortMiami, Downtown Miami, and Fisher Island.

The logistics also reflected how carefully this kind of programming has to fit into a public-beach setting. Miami Beach rules can require a COFA permit for organized group park activities involving five or more people and payment, and beach rules restrict amplified music without a city-issued permit. Against that backdrop, Mukthi’s quieter, guided format has become part of the appeal. It feels less like a pop-up and more like a civic habit, one that Miami Beach keeps making room for each month.
