Forget language schools, working out in German can be one of the best ways to learn the language! Unfortunately, yoga and pilates can be quite difficult to take part in when you don’t understand the nature of the conversation. I’m sure this goes without explaining, you get it.
If you’re constantly on the lookout for new yoga retreats, meet-ups, pilates classes, and meditation classes, meetup.com is a great place to start. But if you’re looking for an official course/class in Düsseldorf, the international community speaks highly of tons of English-speaking yoga and pilates courses in Düsseldorf.
Additionally, there are also some other awesome English-speaking sports clubs in Düsseldorf like the Düsseldorf Dragon’s Rugby Club, the American Youth Football Team, and the Düsseldorf Curling Club.
New to Germany and looking for yoga wear? There are a couple favourites among Germans! OTTO has some amazing deals for yoga wear, and Zalando Lounge is another favourite offering some awesome brand name yoga brands you know and love.
