In Ericeira, Friday evening is the time to let the week go. This collection gathers the classes that start after work, mostly between 5pm and 6pm, with a leaning toward meditation, restore and quiet breathwork. The rooms are calm and the pace is slow, so the sessions suit anyone who wants to arrive at the weekend with less in their shoulders.

What the Friday evening classes are like
Most of the classes in this collection are meditation, and nearly all of them take place in the evening. Restore sessions are close behind, and around half lean toward calm, mindfulness, silence or breathwork. The emphasis is on settling the body and the mind rather than working hard.
The classes usually last about an hour. Their starts cluster around 5pm and 6pm, so they can follow the end of a working day without rushing the transition.
Where and with whom to practice
Two studios hold most of the classes here: Shasha Yoga & Movement and The Organic Way, both in Ericeira. Tea Ceremony is offered at both, a slow hour where the warmth of the bowl and the quiet between each sip are the focus. Embodied Self-Love, a practice of slow touch, conscious breathing and mindful attention to the skin, is also taught at both.
Carla Barbara and Anna Tatjana Pflug lead the most classes in this collection, and the studios are a short walk from each other in the village.
