Sports and leisure activities Accra

Located next to Accra's international airport, this yoga center is getting quite a bit of press in town. Attended by locals and expatriates alike, it offers Vinyasa yoga classes (very close to traditional yoga and using breathing), a powerful technique for rebalancing body and mind. In addition to occasional training sessions with qualified teachers, you can also sign up for other activities such as Yin Yoga or group meditation classes. Namaste!

Although Vivie's Dance Factory (abbreviated to VDF) is a dance school specializing in extracurricular activities, it also offers a program of private classes for adults. You'll be able to choose from a wide range of styles, from the basics of classical ballet to more contemporary dances ranging from modern jazz to hip-hop. East Legon's well-appointed premises are ideal for dance practice, all under the guidance of passionate professionals with a deep desire to see their students shine!

The largest and best known beach in Accra is LA Beach, in Labadi, a few kilometers from the center, in front of the Labadi Beach Hotel. All along the beach there are thickets where it is easy to stop for food and drinks. Beware, the currents are dangerous, so it is advisable to stay on the shore, unless you have a surfboard or a body-board. This beach is the rendezvous of the rastas and many of them will offer you ganja, but beware, most of the time they are in cahoots with the police to extort money from tourists.
