Yoga classes in Sintra

At Quinta do Pé Descalço there are two yoga practices, in person and online: Yin Yoga and Kundalini Yoga. If you're looking for time to be with yourself, out of the inertia of days spent rushing, this is the place. Ninety minutes at the foot of the hills, in a small group, or from the quiet of your own home, to truly slow down.

Yin Yoga or Kundalini Yoga? Which one suits you?

These two kinds of yoga complete each other, but each has its own aim. If the week has worn you out, start with Yin Yoga. If you need a spark and some clarity, choose Kundalini Yoga.

Yin Yoga

Long postures and a slow pace, no muscular effort and almost no strain. It's the class for when the body asks for a pause: to release built-up tension, gain mobility, sleep better. On Tuesdays at 7:30 pm, to close the day.

Kundalini Yoga

It combines breath, movement, mantra and meditation. It's the class for when you need energy, a clearer head, and something that moves you on the inside without asking for any experience. On Saturdays at 10:30 am, to start the weekend well.

How are the classes?

Whatever the class, the format is the same: a small group, no more than eight people, so I can look after you closely and correct you posture by posture if needed. I teach in Portuguese, and if you need it I'll guide you in Spanish, English or French too.

Can you practise online?

You can. I teach every class online too, live, by video call, with the same guidance as if you were in the room. You turn on the camera, I see you, and I adjust with you throughout the class. All you need is a mat and a quiet corner at home.

When are the classes?

Yin Yoga on Tuesdays at 7:30 pm. Kundalini Yoga on Saturdays at 10:30 am. Each class lasts 90 minutes.

Private sessions and classes for guests

Beyond the group classes, I give private sessions: on your own, as a couple or in a closed group, tailored to you and scheduled at a time that suits you. If you're staying at the quinta, you can have the class right here, without going anywhere. And if you'd like, we can combine a stay at the quinta with classes included, made to measure. Talk to me and we'll see what makes sense for you.
