Lizi
I am a Yoga & Fitness Instructor & Coach. I have founded the el Sol – Lifestyle Yoga experiences in the Algarve to motivate people to stay active during their holidays and share a beautiful yoga and mindful experience. I am dedicated to help people through Yoga, Fitness and Coaching to improve wellbeing on different levels.
I have been practicing yoga for 10 years and teaching for the last 6 years, after completing the Yoga teachers’ course (YTT 200) and spending a few weeks in different Ashrams in India. I am continuously improving my knowledge and practice in Yoga, Health, Lifestyle, Sport & Nutrition. I am always ready to widen my horizon and keep my heart open for new experiences in order to guide you to a well-balanced lifestyle. I love yoga and I love instructing it 
My classes are hatha based, being adopted for every level, but I always make sure to spice up the class with some challenging poses, breathwork or just awakening thoughts. I would like to make sure that you get an unforgettable Yoga experience.
Most likely you will be in contact with me and you can meet me at any of the group and private classes.
Julie
Health and fitness have always been a big part of my life, I decided to explore Yoga while my body recuperated from the Comrades ultra-road race in 2013 and that was the beginning of my yoga journey.
As an avid practitioner and certified yoga instructor, I am passionate about sharing the transformative benefits of yoga with others. With a deep understanding of the mind-body connection, I strive to create an inclusive and safe environment where students can explore and deepen their yoga practice. Through my teaching, I aim to inspire others to cultivate mindfulness, build physical strength, and develop a sense of inner peace. My commitment to ongoing education and personal growth ensures that my classes are informed by the latest research and best practices in the field.
Yoga is a lifelong journey both on and off the mat.
You will meet Julie at the classes in Lagos.
Roberta
I am a yoga teacher from Brazil living in Portugal after a 5 years adventure in Australia. I am also a mother of two lovely teenagers girls.Â
I have started practicing in 2005 while I was still working in Marketing for big companies. Since that time I always had yoga as my healing process and self knowledge pathway. In 2011 I completed my first 200hr yoga teacher training and started teaching in São Paulo, my hometown. In 2017 I moved to Australia with my family to go deeper in my Yoga studies, accomplishing a 3 years Diploma in Yoga & Management at Byron Yoga Centre. It was a beautiful and challenging journey that has nourished myself. I love teaching a gentle and slow flow Vinyasa but I believe that more important than teaching postures is to enable people to deal with the challenges of every day life, and in the awakening of their self knowledge path. In my class I seek to pass the practice with soul, truth and love.
You will meet Roberta at the classes in Lagos.
Francesca
I’m Francesca, a yoga teacher from Italy. After managing my family’s business for 10 years, I began a personal transformation during the 2020 lockdown, which led me to discover the healing power of yoga and meditation. Over the years, I’ve explored various spiritual retreats and trainings that brought me to the Algarve, where I felt a deep connection to the ocean and its calming energy. Here I found the perfect place to integrate my love for plant-based cooking with the discipline and presence of yoga. My practice is rooted in Hatha Yoga and Vipassana meditation, which have taught me the value of patience, inner stillness and dedication. These tools support my personal growth and help me navigate life with more awareness and grace. Through my classes I hope to inspire others to reconnect with themselves, find balance and build strength, both physically and emotionally, in a grounded and compassionate way.

Stefanie
I’m Stefanie — a passionate yogini with deep roots in the heart and an endless love for the soothing ocean breeze. For me, teaching yoga on the beach feels like returning home: the steady rhythm of the waves, the gentle warmth of the sun, and the natural flow of breath all come together in a beautiful and effortless harmony. It brings me immense joy to guide others into a deeper sense of connection, inner softness, and grounded strength. Sharing this magical experience, heart to heart and soul to soul, is one of the greatest gifts of my journey.

Jessica
I’m Jess, a 500 hour certified yoga teacher. I’m originally from Germany but lived in Colorado for about 20 years where my yoga journey began. I started yoga a few times in my life but by 2012 I finally developed a steady practice and completely fell in love with all things yoga. I was (and still am) amazed by the stillness. contentment and gratitude one can find through yoga and meditation.
In 2017 I did my 200 hour teacher training and in 2018 an additional 300 hour training followed by yin yoga and hot yoga teacher trainings.
In 2022 I moved to beautiful Portugal and hardly took a break from teaching yoga.
In my beach classes you can expect a mix of gentle Hatha yoga and Vinyasa flow, but I also like to throw in a challenging pose or two while keeping it fun and lighthearted.
I think there’s nothing better than to start the day on the beach practicing yoga with the sun in your face, the ocean breeze on your skin and the sound of the waves as the perfect soothing background.
You will meet Jessica at the classes in Albufeira.
Astrid
I’m Astrid, originally from the Netherlands and living in Portugal since 2011.
In 2013, I completed my yoga teacher training in India — an experience that transformed my life. It brought me closer to a more conscious, natural way of living, deeply connected to the rhythms of the earth and my own inner world.
Yoga has become both my anchor and my inspiration — not just something I teach, but a way of being. My classes are rooted in presence, softness, and authenticity. I guide students to move with awareness, to breathe deeply, and to reconnect with themselves in a gentle and supportive way.
One of the most special parts of my teaching is offering yoga classes on the beach in Albufeira. Practicing with bare feet in the sand, the sound of the waves, and the rising or setting sun creates a deeply grounding and nourishing experience. Nature becomes our studio — open, alive, and ever-changing.
Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned yogi, you’re warmly welcome in my classes. Together, we create space to slow down, feel, and move in harmony with body and breath — always with kindness, curiosity, and a touch of magic from the sea.
You will meet Astrid at the classes in Albufeira.
Annie
I’m Annie, a certified breathwork facilitator with over 450 hours of trauma-informed training. I’m originally from Sweden but have been living in Lagos, Portugal since 2020 — and have no plans to leave this paradise. After many years working as a recruiter in the tech space, I followed a deep pull toward something more aligned and meaningful – and found my way into the world of breath.
Since then, I’ve been guiding Conscious Connected Breathwork sessions for groups and individuals, creating safe, supportive spaces where people can slow down, feel deeply, release emotions, and reconnect with who they truly are.
My sessions weave together science-based breath practices with intuitive touch and energy work. You can expect a calm, safe space — sometimes emotional, often freeing, and always held with care.
Whether you’re curious about breathwork or deep in your journey, you’re warmly welcome to join.
You’ll meet Annie at the breathwork sessions in Lagos.
Ana
I’m Ana, the heart behind Pallasanahata—an intuitive astrologer and yoga teacher devoted to guiding others toward alignment, clarity, and inner connection.
My path has been one of deep exploration and transformation. Originally from South America, I’ve lived in different countries and travelled widely across South America, the Middle East, Asia, and Europe—studying spiritual and healing traditions along the way. My yoga journey led me to India, where I completed both my 200h and 300h teacher trainings, while continuing to immerse myself in Tibetan Buddhism, Ayurveda, and other holistic practices.
Astrology entered my life as a language of the soul. Over time, it became a way to bring meaning, structure, and deeper awareness to life’s cycles. I now offer sessions rooted in Evolutionary and Therapeutic Astrology—combining chart analysis with breathwork, meditation, movement, and flower essences.
Each session is a meeting of depth and presence—an invitation to come home to yourself, and walk your path with more awareness and trust.
You will meet Ana in Lagos or online.
