The studio · 03
A 19th-century townhouse, two practice rooms, and one quiet rule.
The Hovara studio occupies the top two floors of a restored Pombaline townhouse on Rua da Boavista. Two practice rooms — sixteen mats max in each — generous changing rooms, hot showers, and a small tea room overlooking the street. We open at 06:30 most days; the last class ends at 21:00. The lights are always lower than you expect.
Teachers · 04
Twelve senior teachers, one bench.
Every Hovara teacher has at least 500 hours of training and a minimum of three years on the mat with us. Bios, lineages, and personal practices are on the Studio page.

Why people stay.
Pulled from Google reviews, ClassPass, and a small folded notebook in the tea room. Lightly edited.
"I’ve been to studios in three cities. Hovara is the only one where I’ve stayed past the first month. The teachers actually watch you."

"Slow Restore on Sunday is the only thing standing between me and the rest of my life. I drive 25 minutes just to make it."

"The Mysore room is run with the kind of quiet authority I’ve only seen in Mysore itself. Sara is the real thing."
