Bushman Café Yoga Garden

Bushman Café Yoga Garden is an art café, gallery and sculpture garden in Cocody M'Pouto, on the eastern edge of Cocody near the lagoon, that also runs yoga classes on its lawn with a certified teacher. The draw is the setting: open-air practice among sculptures and mature trees rather than a conventional studio, followed by the café's largely vegetarian kitchen and a walk through the surrounding gallery space. Classes cover outdoor garden yoga with an emphasis on breathwork and meditation, suited to the calm of the garden rather than a fast-paced fitness format. The teacher is certified, and sessions are typically held on a set morning timetable, though the garden and café are open through the day for anyone wanting to combine a class with a longer visit. Facilities are built around the sculpture garden, gallery and café rather than spa or wet-area amenities; there is no sauna, pool or hammam. The vegetarian and plant-based kitchen is a significant part of the experience, and many visitors treat a morning class followed by a café meal and gallery walk as a half-day outing rather than a quick session. Private class bookings can be arranged by message ahead of a visit, and the usual group class runs alongside the regular timetable. Because the site combines several attractions - art, food and yoga - it works well for a slower half day in Cocody M'Pouto rather than a single-purpose fitness stop, and it is one of the few places in Abidjan to practise yoga outdoors in a landscaped setting.
