The City of Geneva offers its inhabitants sports classes throughout summer 2021

Following the success of the first edition, la Canopée will once again set up stall on Quai Gustave-Ador, close to Baby Plage.

Relaxation and well-being

This temporary, open-air space is devoted to relaxation, well-being and sport.

The classes, which are 100% free and open to every generation, are organised in the mornings, from 8.30 a.m. to midday, and the evenings, from 6.30 p.m. to 7.30 p.m., from 5 July to 12 September. In a shaded, green setting with a zen atmosphere, you can discover cross-training, yoga, pilates or zumba.

Family activities

The site also hosts activities for all the family. At the weekend, for example, there will be parent-child yoga classes or “zumba kids” classes. Every Wednesday afternoon, the Eaux-Vives “Ludothèque” will also organise games and activities for children.

Programme and registration

The mandatory registration takes place solely on site via the coach at the beginning of the class. The number of participants per activity will be adapted in line with the health standards.
