Step onto the Mat

Step onto the Mat

Taking a step onto a yoga mat may seem small in gesture however it often leads to something much, much bigger. For most people it begins their journey through a physical exercise practice, moving their body and breath, shifting dormant energy and lifting the mood of their feelings. As the practice deepens it becomes the growth of conscious awareness, the knowledge of oneself, the witness to existence. When the mind is open, free and liberated whilst the body is at ease, a practicing yogi can experience a state of bliss in being. This too shall pass, it is fleeting, and just like taking a daily bath to cleanse, one must continue to practice. To keep the experience re-occurring even the most senior Yogi’s still need to step onto the mat.

It’s at MoY where we offer you the chance to step onto the mat and practice with a small group of dedicated yogi’s. Our classes are designed to bring you closer to your teacher and the practices of yoga, with a maximum of 8 students per class. We believe in a multi-disciplinary approach to yoga, giving the aspirant a chance to broaden their knowledge and experiences of the practice. One yoga is better than another?…. that is a self-limiting belief, it is what is suited to you at any given moment in your life. From Hatha sun salutations, Vinyasa arm balances, Kundalini kriyas, Dharma talks and guided Yin meditations it’s all relevant in gathering your yogic knowledge and experiences.

Coming up this month we have a couple of specialised events as well as our daily scheduled classes.

Inversion Level 2 Workshop– Ideal for yoga practitioners wanting to advance their handstand practice, finding equilibrium upside down. Facilitated by Ines Barbosa and Zoe Taylor October 22nd 3:30-5:30pm €30pp Bookings and additional information here: Inversion Workshop

Yin Nidra Immersion- Ideal for yoga practitioners looking to deepen their meditative practices, relax consciously and have a deeply profound effect on the nervous system. Facilitated by Daya Lupinacci October 23rd 4-5:30pm €20pp. Bookings and additional information here: Yin Nidra Immersion

Womens Circle- A moment each month at MoY where women can meet to share life, gather perspective, create friendships and meaningful connection. Facilitated by Zoe Taylor October 29th 4-6:30pm donation based (+ optional vegetarian dinner post circle). For more information click here: Lisbon Sister Circle

We welcome you to our space of yoga, whether you are here for a day, a week, a year or a lifetime, drop in…. to step onto the mat.

As always, any questions about starting or continuing your practice feel free to reach out to Zoe ztaylorministry@gmail.com otherwise go ahead and book a class (payment made at the studio).

Hi All,

From today 1st December 2021 we are required by law to restrict group classes to students with a covid vaccination certificate or recent negative test (PCR-72hrs or rapid antigen). We know this change will affect a number of our regular students. Please get in touch with Zoe if you need to pause your class pass or require a refund of any unused portion.

On a lighter note, we are coming up to the end of the year and have some fun small gatherings for our community to connect in a different format.

  • Our MoY Community end of year dinner on 14th December, we will go to a wonderful local restaurant for a variety of Vegan and Veggie options, leaving the studio at 7:45pm for an 8pm sitting. Booking is essential so we can give the restaurant an indication of how many of us will be there. This will be seated indoors so Covid Restrictions as above apply. To reserve your spot find MoY Gathering on the app or click here
  • The Women´s Circle will be held on 18th December 4pm-6:30pm. You will find this under “Lisbon Sister Circle” on our booking app, or register here.

Looking forward to continuing to connect in person adhering to the guidelines outlined by the medical and government advisors.

The studio will be closed for the Christmas and New Year period for 14days, 22nd Dec to 4th January 2022, (classes recommence 5th January).

We hope you have a safe and bliss-filled December!
