Summer in Lausanne has a way of turning everyday routines into something a little more special—even yoga. Swap the studio for a lakeside lawn, a shady park or even a paddleboard, and your morning flow suddenly comes with fresh air and mountain views.
We've rounded up outdoor yoga (and a few Pilates) classes between Morges and Lutry to help you make the most of the season. Most sessions last around an hour and run through to the end of September.
Bring your own mat, water and sunscreen—and if you're heading to a class by the lake, don't forget your swimsuit. Many of the instructors also organise one-off outdoor events during the summer, so keep an eye on their websites or Instagram pages for the latest schedule.
Editor’s Note: Schedules are correct at the time of publication, but always check the instructor's website or Instagram before heading out, particularly if the weather looks uncertain.
