An Unusual Mix: Yoga Meets Slacklining in Lagos

Walking into the Jardim da Constituição, you immediately notice the relaxed, friendly vibe of this one-hour session. The location, nestled next to the iconic Castle of Lagos, offers a scenic setting that amplifies the calming effect of the experience. Should the usual meeting point be busy due to a public event, the team quickly moves the group a short 5-minute walk to Parque Bio Saudável — a thoughtful touch that keeps things smooth and stress-free.

The session starts with grounding breathwork, helping everyone settle in and focus. From there, gentle yoga stretches loosen tight muscles and prepare the body for balance challenges. The instructor, speaking in clear, encouraging English, guides you through movements designed to energize and center. Even if you’re new to yoga, you’ll find the pace accessible; it’s about feeling your body rather than perfecting poses.

Building Confidence Through Playful Balance

After the yoga portion, the fun begins. Moving off the mat, participants join in playful balancing games that serve as stepping stones toward slacklining. The shared Giboard and slackline are simple-to-use, but don’t be fooled — mastering balance takes practice, patience, and a sense of humor. The reviews highlight how supportive the environment is: “Everyone is welcome, and the instructor creates a really uplifting space,” one participant shared.

The highlight? Learning how to apply fundamental yoga principles—like breath control and mindful engagement—to the art of slacklining.

Several reviewers noted how this helped them feel more confident stepping onto the slackline after just a few minutes of practice.
