Balmy, salty gusts blow across the meandering cruise ship's sundeck, dancing through strands of hair and cooling faces lifted to meet the sun. A group of yogis lifts fingertips to the sky amid the sounds of lapping waves and the distant cries of seabirds as one of the highly experienced instructors from Pure Prana Yoga Studio leads them in a 60-minute Vinyasa or Hatha class. In addition to opening their muscles and lungs to the cleansing sea air, guests can socialize with the other travelers during the full lunch buffet. The dining room resounds with happy chatter as guests mingle and munch on a smorgasbord of upscale cuisine including made-to-order omelets and make stops at the salad bar and the ham-and-turkey-carving station.

Instructors Marsha Banks-Harold and Erika Gary both have degrees in electrical engineering, a discipline strongly rooted in science and logic. It's their shared love of the spiritual discipline of yoga, though, that brings them together at PIES Fitness Yoga Studio. The studio stays versatile, with yoga styles that range from high-intensity hot yoga to Egyptian-inspired kemetic yoga.
Yoga's the main attraction here, but clients can also take part in belly-dancing lessons, pulse-pounding Zumba classes, and kickboxing sessions led by kangaroos. If you'd rather be at the front of the classroom, you can take a teacher training program to learn the ins and outs of yoga philosophy, ethics, and poses to become a certified yoga instructor.
