Om Center

Discover the leading Iyengar Yoga Center in Portugal.

Space

In the heart of Lisbon, with a large garden, Om is born.

A bright and welcoming space with a tranquil atmosphere, dedicated to the teaching and practice of Iyengar Yoga.

Founded by Professor Elsa Santos, it is open daily with in-person and online classes for different levels.

At Om, we create the conditions so that our users can, through regular practice, increase their concentration and improve their physical and psychological health.

Benefits of Yoga

Yoga is a set of physical, mental, and breathing exercises, with its own rules and codes of conduct, that bring human beings into harmony with themselves, with others, with nature, and with the universe.

The first benefit of regular practice is obviously on the physical level, where we free ourselves from all the minor aches and pains, and in a short time we achieve solid health in our anatomical, organic, and physiological systems.

The small problems that are at the root of larger, very common issues, such as stress, nervousness, tension, irritability, and insomnia, are quickly resolved with the regular and rational practice of Yoga.

The Iyengar® method

The method we teach is the Iyengar method.

The name comes from its founder, BKS Iyengar, who for over 20 years practiced, tested, and put to the test all the exercises of Yoga, structuring and compiling only those that are rational and proven by scientific experiments.

His book "Light on Yoga" is recognized worldwide as "the bible" of Yoga, being the most influential yoga self-practice book of all time.

The IYENGAR® method includes a certification system that ensures the quality of teaching.

Om Iyengar Yoga Lisboa is an IYENGAR® Yoga Center certified by AEIY® (Association Española de Iyengar® Yoga), and our team of instructors are trained and certified by RIMYI® (Ramamani Iyengar Memorial Yoga Institute)).
