I like to move it, move it
I hope you had a restful summer and are ready for the whirlwind that September usually is.
This month’s letter is shorter because we’re moving places this weekend and everything is literally upside down right now .
I am happy to be back in Lisbon after spending a few weeks with family in France, and for group classes to resume this Tuesday !
Please note a few changes to the schedule : a new evening class and a new time for the Flow class. You can find all info below.
GROUP CLASSES IN LISBON
Our theme for September is Foundations. Our feet are the foundations for our entire body, they support us through poses and everyday life, yet we seldom pay attention to how we’re standing on the ground. Let’s bring our awareness to the 26 bones, 33 joints, over 7000 nerve endings and 100 muscles, tendons and ligaments that live in each foot!
All classes now take place in the same studio, at Studio Organic Flow in Campo de Ourique.
☯️ 🧘♂️ Yin-Yang Yoga (Hatha & Yin)
📆 Every Tuesday 18h15
🧘♀️ 🤸 Mindful Flow (Vinyasa)
📆 Every Wednesday 8h45
🤰 🤱 Baby & Me - Prenatal & Postnatal (babies welcome!)
📆 Every Wednesday 11h
Each class is limited to 8 students, so remember to book your spot beforehand.
A BOOK I ENJOYED LATELY
I read this book by French author Camille Teste this summer and it opened my eyes on a few important concepts, especially on how wellbeing practices can become tools to build a better, more inclusive and equal society, if we are mindful about what we teach and how we share ancestral practices such as yoga.
NB: The book is in French only for now but I’d be happy to give you a rundown if you’re interested !
And a quote, why not: “Keep your eyes on the stars, and your feet on the ground”- Theodore Roosevelt.
2024 YOGA RETREATS
The next retreats with Namastrip in the Fall are planned for October 16-20 and November 7-11. Here’s recap of the summer one !
If you’re interested in joining one, feel free to ask me any questions you may have! NB: These retreats are in French .
I’m also starting to plan my own retreat for the Spring of 2025, in Portugal. Stay tuned !
Substack
If you’re curious about family life in Portugal, each month I write a short personal essay on my Substack page (both in English & in French).
