Yoga classes in English

Hi!

I was wondering if anyone knew of any yoga classes that are held in English? I'm moving to Switzerland very soon and I'm hoping to continue my yoga practise!

If anyone knows of any please let me know!

Thanks!

Re: Yoga classes in English

I will be moving to Solothurn but I don't mind travelling to a yoga class. And preferably Iyengar yoga but I'm not fussy so anything in English is great!

Thanks for your help....

Re: Yoga classes in English

Hi folks,

I am badly looking for some ashtanga or bikram in Lausanne. Anyone has any information? Classes in Elglish are preferred but any other language would do too. There are a number of classes/studios that come up via search/google but I wonder which one is any good given that they are quite more expensive than north american ones.

merci,
cheers

Hi Everyone,

I will be coming to Basel, Switzerland in August and I am also looking for a yoga centre or a fitness around the area to continue my practise. Any good recommendations would be very helpful.

Re: Yoga classes in English

hi Seany, you might be better off looking for ashtanga because as far as I know there are only two bikram studios in Switzerland: one in Zurich and one in Lucerne.

byoga.ch in central Basel is pretty good, classes mainly in English - they do a trial membership for a week for 35 CHF - definitely worth having a go!!

I have never done Yoga before but came across a place in Zurich called Yoga Joy http://www.yoga-joy.ch/home_en.htm which does classes in English. I am going along to try it out for the first time next week!
