Calm after work in Geneva
Calm after work in Geneva is a set of evening classes for coming down from the day. Most of them are yoga sessions that move slowly, hold poses for a long time, or pair gentle motion with breath. Almost every class runs in the evening, and the sessions are built to ease tension in the body and settle the nervous system before the night begins.

When and where the classes run
Most of these classes are in the evening, starting from about 5:30pm through 7:30pm. The busiest start times fall between 6:15pm and 6:30pm, and the typical class lasts an hour. Weekend options are few, so the evening schedule is what this collection is built around.
Centre Aloeh Thérapies in Les Pâquis carries most of the sessions. Its offerings include kundalini yoga flow, a gentle yoga class that combines yin yoga with self-massage and breathwork, and a longer kundalini workshop. Sol Studio Plainpalais in Coulouvrenière adds evening yin yoga, which works deep connective tissues through long, passive holds.
What the classes feel like
The classes lean toward restore, yin and kundalini, with somatic movement and pranayama close behind. Many are open to all levels, and the emphasis is on sensation and steady breathing rather than effort. Breathwork and meditation appear in a smaller share of the sessions, and a few aerial and balance classes sit at the edges of the collection.
A first visit is simplest with a gentle yoga or yin class, where the pace is slow and the poses can be adjusted. The kundalini flow sessions suit people who want a little more movement before settling into stillness.
