Studios
Yoga Lab Yoga School
Yoga Lab is a yoga school in the center of Lisbon dedicated to Yoga and meditation practices, with classes that are adapted to suit different ages and physical abilities, as well as flexible schedules every day of the week. Yoga Lab’s objective is to spread the practice of Yoga as well as its lifestyle.
It is a meeting place, where each person can find inner balance as well as their physical, emotional, and energetic well-being. Therefore, classes include different components such as posture, respiration techniques, purification, concentration, and meditation. Beyond regular classes, there are also Yoga therapy sessions, as well as private classes for people at different levels of yoga practice, or who wish to help manage different health conditions.
Yoga Lab’s studio is a bright, welcoming, and tranquil space that invites its users to reinvigorate their mind and body. It is an ideal place to start the day with more energy, or to end it with more peace.

BARAZA (n.)/bəˈrɑːzə/A meeting place
Baraza opened May 2019 with the intention of creating a new, exciting meeting place for the thriving yoga scene in Lisbon. The founders Alex du Toit and Ruby Morris met earlier in the year after Alex began missing her local studio back in her native Cape Town and began searching for teachers to collaborate with.
Bonding over their mutual love of strong, dynamic yoga classes, beautiful aesthetics and bringing people together they founded Baraza Yoga in Santos Lisboa.
Baraza’s iconic stone arches, high ceilings and airy, bright atmosphere enable students to leave behind the bustling city and immerse themselves in their practice. With 120 square meters of newly refurbished space Baraza can comfortably hold large group classes and has changing rooms, bathrooms and other amenities to ensure students feel relaxed and at home.
Our experienced and enthusiastic team of teachers deliver classes seven days a week in a range of styles, but all share the mutual intention of providing strong, feel good and inclusive yoga classes where experienced yogis and complete beginners can feel comfortable but always challenged.
Baraza is a place of growth and community, we are opening our doors to teachers from all over the world to share their unique perspectives and fresh ideas on the practice. We are committed to providing frequent events, workshops, talks and training, which will be beneficial and relevant for teachers, students, locals and tourists alike.

Wellbeing & Healthy Food recommendations in Lisbon
Arkhe
Welcome to our home, Arkhe, a place to celebrate life.
Arkhe is a small private owned house led by two restaurateurs who put hospitality in the heart of the craft. We believe a restaurant should be thought for the comfort and enjoyment of our guests.
Starting at the door, to the table, kindness and passion dictate our dining room service. We believe it is possible to have a unique and magic experience with a cuisine based on vegetal tissue thought for all, with complex cooking techniques, only seasonal vegetables and lots of generosity.
We have managed to build through the years an inclusive and participative creative process. Starting from what we try in a glass, based on a large selection of wine and beverages, we write a large sprectum of tastes, flavors and nuances.
This allows us to aim, seasonal produce we would like to work around, through one or several techniques in order to enhance the product and close the dialogue between wine & food.
This way of work allows us not to be approximated but very accurate with an innate harmony. Our objective being to offer the most balanced and harmonious food and wine pairing. But also to offer a great, simple and generous dining experience.

Legumi Sushi
And the situation in Lisbon was no different when I moved here. Sure, you can always find a cucumber roll, or maybe an avocado roll, but Lisbon didn’t really have any exciting vegan sushi options.
This fully vegan, Brazilian-owned restaurant makes some of the most creative sushi you’ve ever seen. Dining here is an extraordinary experience. They also have a vegan wine list.
