Yoga classes in Dakar come in four 1-hour options, for all levels: a group class, a private class in a studio, a private class at home or a session at home. The mat is provided in the studio, and comfortable clothing is enough.

Group, private, at home

Each option lasts 1 hour and the rate is per person:

• The group class: in a group, for the dynamic and the rhythm.
• The private class in a studio: personalised teaching, to work on your needs or to start without pressure.
• The private class at home: the teacher comes to you.
• Yoga at home: a 1-hour session at home.

The classes are for all levels, from beginners to people who have already practised. The choice depends on what you are looking for: the group class for the energy of the group, the private class to be followed closely, especially if you are starting or resuming after a break, and the home option to save travel time. Yoga combines postures, breathing and a relaxation period: one hour is enough to get a first taste, and a single session lets you try without committing.

What you need to know

The mat is provided in the studio. Comfortable clothing is advised, and it is better to avoid a heavy meal before the class. If you have an injury, are pregnant or have a health problem, tell the teacher before you start.

If you live in Dakar, the home option solves the travel problem, and the group class gives you a regular appointment. If you are visiting, a single session is a way to get moving again after a flight or days of sightseeing.

Practising in Dakar

Classes take place in Dakar, in a studio or at home. In Dakar, the ocean is close, and several beaches invite you to relax after a session.

Other wellness practices

Meditation naturally complements yoga. For the body, a massage or a swimming lesson go well with a class, and a private beach day extends the relaxation.
