Temple of Debod

Originally from ancient Egypt, specifically from the 2nd century BC., the Temple of Debod was a gift from Egypt to Spain to prevent it from being flooded after the construction of the great Aswan Dam. Around this temple we can find some gardens that are the perfect place to practice yoga while contemplating this beautiful ancient work.

El Retiro

El Retiro is one of the most beautiful parks in the capital of Madrid and also the ideal place to enjoy a bit of yoga in tranquillity. You can also go on your own or in company to practice this discipline. Or you can join one of the groups that regularly offer classes at the Retiro, some of which are free of charge.

Parque Juan Carlos I

One of the most popular places in the city to practice yoga outdoors. The Juan Carlos I Park has nearly 160 hectares where you can do this sport without anyone bothering you. As in El Retiro, there are many groups that organize yoga classes during the weekend to practice it in company.

Madrid Río

Madrid Rio is one of the Madrid capital’s favourite places for outdoor sports, so it’s also the perfect place to practice yoga. Moreover, after enjoying this activity, you can round off your day with a bit of leisure or a delicious meal in the Plaza Río 2 shopping centre.
