Welcome to ÁGORA…
Ágora Lisboa was born of a dream and has been growing as a collective reality since 2019.
The dream was to create a space where practices for the body, the mind and the heart could merge. Where physical and meditative experiences could meet creative explorations. A place where people could gather and get to know each other in a bubble of simplicity, loving kindness and acceptance. Where healing can happen and self-transformation can unfold. Where thoughts, ideas and a community could take roots.
Our Yoga and Meditation Studio is located in the heart of Lisbon at Rua Rafael de Andrade 23, near Campo Mártires da Pátria and the metro station Intendente. Second Floor!
Agora is a Yoga School which focuses on the teaching of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga, although we also offer other styles of Yoga. We have been running an Ashtanga Yoga Mysore-style program in the mornings six days a week since 2019, and we offer Ashtanga 4-week courses throughout the year with a step-by-step approach as well as regular Ashtanga Labs to establish a mindful, safe and sustainable Ashtanga practice. In complement to the practice of Ashtanga, we offer Yin/Restorative Yoga classes in the evenings and weekend as well as Gentle Yoga and Vinyasa.
Agora is a Meditation Center and Center for Buddhist studies. We offer guided Meditation classes , Silent Zen Meditation practices and we develop a Buddhist community and study group (Sangha and philosophy study group). We organize regular Yoga and Meditation retreats, an Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training (next session starts in January 2025), workshops, community events, and we regularly invite international guest teachers in the field of Yoga and Buddhism to share their knowledge at Agora.
We also occasionally host trainings and workshops given by local teachers, from Healing Arts, Massage and Bodywork.

AGORA…
is Greek for « Open space assembly »
Nearly every city of ancient Greece had an agora when the classical period of Greek civilization began to flourish. Usually located near the center of town, the agora was easily accessible to every citizen. It was the heart of the city – where ordinary citizens bought and sold goods, politics were discussed and ideas were passed among great minds like Socrates, Aristotle and Plato. Some of the world’s most important ideas were born and perfected within the confines of the Athenian agora including, most importantly, the concept of democracy.
AGORA also means Now in Portuguese
&
AGHORA…
in Sanskrit, is derived from the root word ghora
which means « darkness » and « fear ». A- ghora stands for the opposite, « illumination », « peace », « calmness ». Darkness represents ignorance, whereas knowledge brings forth light. The path of Aghora, which is also a school of Tantra, aims to eliminate the veil of ignorance.
