Start times may vary depending on the number of students.Those who sign up for the longest period will have preference, as well as those signing up first.

Location

We will be teaching at Studio Trancoso, down a side street off the Avenida Principal, about 800 metres from the Quadrado.
Walk on the main street away from the Quadrado, pass the main square on the left, a little very green shopping centre on the right and 20 mts after that turn right just opposite a shop called Frango D´hora.

The space has a changing room, toilet and drinking water.

Everything in Trancoso is within walking distance.

What to bring to class

• Yoga mat
  No yoga mats will be provided so bring a plastic sticky mat and a cotton one (or towel).
• Towel
  At this time of year in Trancoso you will probably get very sweaty during your practice so if you want adjustments please bring a towel.

Tips on getting there

Plane to Porto Seguro
Take a taxi to bus station (very near the airport). There are hourly buses to Trancoso during the day.
You may also take a taxi to the fairy, cross the river and take a bus from there (they also leave very frequently).
