Looking for a place to practice yoga in the town centre of Lisbon, Portugal? Whilst traveling in 2013, Zoe the founder of Ministry of Yoga planted a Sankulpa (intention) to teach yoga everyday in Lisbon. It took 18months to move life from Australia and another 5 months to find a space, this came to fruition when she opened a small studio in Rossio, January 2016. Yes! for almost 10 years we have been filling the studio with both Portuguese locals and visiting yogis alike. The secret to longevity is to keep it simple, max. 10 yoga mats (no rental required), props, 4 walls, a bathroom and a team of incredible teachers with diverse backgrounds and an immense passion for yoga. If you are looking for a genuine space that puts you and the practice in the centre of what they do and teach, then you’ve found it!
Join us for a 3 class trial for €30 (or memberships and more found here), at the start of class let us know about your current practice or if you are a beginner, our teachers are well versed in being adaptable. One of the many benefits of smaller classes is we truly get to connect.
Yoga the word, is roughly translated to Union we believe in keeping this alive, uniting people in presence from around the world. Whether you live in Lisbon or passing through, we want to meet you. Every week we study a new topic of philosophy and highlight one Asana (posture) to deep dive, keeping our classes both educational and practical. Exploring all limbs of yoga.
We also host a number of specialised events, longer meditations, workshops and retreats. The events and workshops are listed on the booking schedule but also shared on these social media platforms, click the icon and follow us to know what’s happening in the space week to week.
Needing a longer and deeper immersion in yoga? We offer weekend stays once per month in the centre of Portugal surrounded by nature (March to October exc. August)
That’s it, that’s us, the rest is on the mat. See you there
