Baraza Yoga is the sort of studio you'd create if you could create your own yoga studio - there's natural light, a high ceiling, just off the street and easy to get to but classes are behind a pale curtain so feel private, you can rent a mat if you need to, you can leave your own mat in the big cupboard if you're coming back, the washrooms are clean and attractive, if you need to change clothes, there's a spot for that too. And it's always so welcoming - Alex seems to know your name after just one visit. I have now had at least one class with every teacher and they are all excellent - super professional but each with their own style which means you can keep changing it up. The schedule is great with lots of options and they use the Mindbody app. Unless specified, the yoga is almost always what I would call athletic Vinyasa flow. Two things I appreciate - classes are a full 60 minutes and latecomers are not admitted. Most classes are nicely full and I have been to a few where there was not a spare inch - which I thought would be unpleasant but you learn to stay within the footprint of your mat and there is actually something quite energizing about an entire room breathing and moving all together. Very happy I found Baraza.

The sweat dripping down my body as I my knees cracked getting in to a yogi squat, the look of pure disdain towards the instructor. Is this agony just temporary or will I somehow get into a rhythm where every deep breath is not muzzling a grimace? Dante wrote about nine circles of hell in his epic, each sequence felt like the next torturous ring of doom. At one point, mid boat pose I thought I saw a light telling me it was ok to submit and come into the afterlife. Then Shivasana, A relief, an appreciation for what had just happened, and strong sense of happiness. Baraza, A wonderful flowy and incredibly challenging practice, never have I loved and hated a place so much at the same time. 5 stars hands down for pushing my boundaries day in and day out.

Great flow class in a beautiful space. I might not recommend it for beginners but if you do yoga regularly you will be challenged with some familiar and may unfamiliar variations. Also, GREAT music/scoring of the class!

Cool Yoga Studio! ‍♂️ ‍♀️ We were visiting Lisboa for a few days and decided to drop into a morning session. We absolutely loved it! We were invited to coffee and cake at a nearby cafe. Great deal!

Such a beautiful, welcoming studio. Loads of gorgeous natural light and a wonderfully joyful energy. Prices are reasonable and they have everything you need for a drop-in class if you’re only in town for a short while.

Wonderful new yoga studio in Lisbon with classes taught in english. The flow class was a powerful mix of vinyasa and hatha... strong, stretchy, and sweaty with a little relaxation at the end! Great modern playlist. Perfect spot for locals and tourists alike. Obrigada x
