All the Yoga News That’s Fit
A 4-day yoga event in a historic monument as well as Olympic-adjacent experiences to prime you for the Games
The Olympics are everywhere you look, and no one is more blasé about it than your typical Parisian. Not sure what it’s been like in other host cities, but here the mood is definitely “don’t care” or some version of a nonchalant pftt.
The local Monoprix has had a stand on display filled with Olympic flip-flops, mugs, t-shirts, bucket hats (called ‘bobs’ en français) and its racks are just as full this week as they were 15 days ago. Every Parisian I’ve talked to is either:
Skipping town
Skipping town and renting out their apartments on airbnb for €€€
Staying put but complaining incessantly about how impossible everything is and will be, now and forever (Parisians love the dramz)
To gauge by how many wellness, fitness and yoga activities keep popping up, week to week, many businesses are ignoring the local grumbling and instead brainstorming new ways to experience Paris. This is fantastic for visitors, less so for those of us who just want to cycle along the quais, or visit a favorite café in a red or gray zone that requires special QR codes or laissez-passers… The known-unknowns are causing a bit of anxiety, but there’s a solution for that: yoga 😂
Below we tell you all about a yoga event in a Paris landmark with a storied past, and share a list of art, fitness and movement experiences to prime you for the Olympics Games.
