Paris Yoga Menu: October 2025 Edition
Here’s the yoga I would be doing right now if I weren’t healing an injury…
The most yoga I’ve done since I sustained an injury is Child’s pose.
So I can hardly use personal experience to recommend any of the handful of yoga studios that have opened recently. Therefore for this round-up of yoga to do in Paris, I am going to suggest some reliable favorites. The last thing I want to do is have you run the risk of injuring yourself in class1 with a teacher who is mindlessly repeating yoga word salads or telling you what to think or how to feel rather than instructing with sensitivity and caution.
ICYMI on Notes and beyond
Get to Nathalie du Pasquier’s ceramic sculpture show before it closes on October 5th at Librairie Yvon Lambert; when luxury brands sell yoga accessories and wellness experiences, is it any surprise when a yoga brand decides to launch a high-end bag collection?; there’s a new hot-or-not yoga studio in the Marais a stone’s throw from Naya and Modo; Riise has expanded into group Reformer classes and their latest outpost is off of rue Oberkampf…
OCTOBER NEWS
→ One of our favorite Paris yoga studios, Yoga Village, is offering a class card special that is an excellent value: for a short time, a 10-class card is 180€. When you consider that drop-ins are 25€, this is a deal to GET AFTER.
→ Mayashala’s graduating teacher trainees are leading inaugural yoga classes at the studio and the sessions are FREE! Saturday October 4th and Sunday October 5th, 2025. 6th, 2025. Reserve here.
→ There are four remaining Guerilla Yoga sessions with Marc Holzman at the American Church on the 2025 calendar so pick a date that works with your schedule and go! Don’t forget to bring an eye mask for the Yoga Nidra that closes the session; it’s delicious. Saturday October 4th & 18th, November 8th & 15th. 11h-13h. Pre-pay here.
→ I join my Vedic meditation group in person from time to time, and at the last gathering I was reminded by a fellow meditator how unearthly (in a good way) the sound baths are at Zen & Sounds. There are daily 75-minute sound baths, but the nec plus ultra are the 135-minute long experiences that coincide with eclipses, full and new moons. More info here.
→ Max Richter’s Sleep returns to Paris, this time at the Fondation Louis Vuitton. Space is limited to 200 participants, owing to the fact that each person gets a bed to sleep in overnight while the music soundtracks your dreams (or nightmares). Ticket price also includes breakfast in the museum. Friday November 14th, 2005. 23h-7h. Reserve here.
→ In other news, I made
’s Everyday Cake because I magically had all of the ingredients. Rather than vanilla, I flavored it with with lemon zest and cardamom (powder as well as freshly crushed seeds) and it’s been the best and non-PSL way to welcome autumn.I didn’t injure myself in yoga, FWIW. I may have done it while running, but I have no idea, really. I had some hamstring ache on day and when I woke up the next day, the back of my left leg felt like all of the muscles had fallen down and collected behind the knee. Not fun.
Hope you're back on the mat soon, M!! xoxo
