Doing a dancer’s posture in front of Degas’ Les Danseuses? That’s just one of the many pleasant and poetic perspectives on offer this autumn at the initiative of a number of Paris museums, including the Louvre and Orsay. Starting this September, these cultural institutions are offering unusual yoga classes in the midst of works of art!
Yoga classes in the midst of the finest works of art
Find spiritual as well as physical harmony, and develop a sensory approach to art: this is the program we hope you’ll enjoy when you pass through the doors of several Paris museums this year. From major institutions such as the Louvre and Orsay to more confidential cultural venues such as the Musée Jean-Jacques Henner and the Cité de l’Architecture et du Patrimoine, a number of events are already in store for Parisian yogis.
The full program:
- Musée du Louvre: four sessions given by Charlotte Wilkins from January 16 to March 13, 2026
- Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris: Yoga classes + guided meditations in the museum corridors on Thursday, October 16, 2025
