Beach 94th is the busiest of the Rockaway concession blocks, and pairing a yoga session with live music there turns an ordinary practice into something closer to a small beach festival - the ocean providing the soundtrack underneath whatever is being played. It is free, it is an hour, and it sits right where the boardwalk food stands are. If you want the beach day and the class in one trip, take a mat.
What to expect
Expect mats laid out on the boardwalk or the sand just below it, an instructor guiding from the front and musicians playing live alongside rather than a recording. The session is short and beginner-accessible. Beach 94th has concessions, restrooms and the widest stretch of sand on the peninsula immediately below.
