The hot days and outdoor workouts are long gone for many Porto residents, but that doesn’t mean you have to stay home and lead a sedentary lifestyle. After all, from the first weekend in October through May, the municipal “Dias com Energia” initiative is back for another indoor edition at four sports centers in the city of Porto. And the best part? Participation is still free, though advance registration is required.
What can you expect from the “Dias com Energia” initiative?
After having “taken over” some of Porto’s most beautiful green spaces, such as the Crystal Palace Gardens and Porto City Park, the municipal program “Dias com Energia” is entering a new seasonal phase. However, it continues to focus on promoting well-being and health by offering free Pilates, yoga, and tai chi sessions on Saturdays and Sundays.
Where and when are these sessions held?
According to information available on the website of the municipal company Ágora, the schedule of activities now available is as follows:
- Fontes Pereira de Melo Pavilion (maintains the schedule of the Jardins do Palácio de Cristal): Pilates at 9 a.m., yoga at 10 a.m., and tai chi at 11 a.m.
- Viso Pavilion (classes at Parque da Pasteleira continue as usual): tai chi at 9:30 a.m. and yoga at 11:00 a.m.
