Healthy body and healthy mind on the sands of Ipanema
The summer may be the most hedonistic season of the year, starting with Christmas, rolling straight into new year and then thrusting swiftly into carnival, but the body's health shouldn't be discounted entirely if you want it to see you through to the other side unscarred. Fortunately the yoga worshippers at Copacabana's 88Yoga88 are coming to the rescue with some early morning sessions on the sands of Ipanema beach; free, well-considered and in one of the most beautiful settings imagineable.
By Posto 8, the classes on 14 and 28 January and 11 February will work on the classic principles of concentration, meditation, stretching and strength, all of which will be much needed after the festive excess. Besides which, AcroYoga classes will also be offered on 21 January and 4 February, combining the classic methods with acrobatics. These 'jam' sessions will be headed up by instructors offering tips and suggestions but will be largely open for open practice, taking place a little further up Ipanema at Posto 9.
