Nina Dirié

Ashtanga-rooted practice in Lisbon, and immersions with enough time in them to actually go deeper.

Teaches at Leela and Amplify, Lisbon
Lisbon

Rooted in the Ashtanga Yoga system and enriched by vinyasa, hatha, kriya, Katonah Yoga, pranayama and meditation. Structured enough to hold you, open enough to meet you where you are on the day.

Morning practice

Weekday and weekend mornings

Eighty minutes with room to warm up properly and to finish properly. Strength and structure at the front, breath and stillness at the back. Come as a beginner or come with twenty years behind you.

Short sessions

Midweek and Saturday, thirty minutes

Brief, focused practice for a body that needs moving more than it needs a whole morning. Enough to change the rest of the day.

Private classes

Weekly slots, by arrangement

A space where you get to be fully held. A space to slow down, to listen, and to reconnect, away from the noise and pace of daily life. More therapeutic and more supportive than a group room can be, and adapted entirely to you.

Where to find me in Lisbon. Between Leela and Amplify, most mornings of the week.

Greece Retreat
29 June – 4 July 2026 · Greece

I teach in studios and I build immersions with other people. If you run a space or hold your own practice, this is where I am.

Messages here go through Namaspot, so I know who I’m talking to. Tell me who you are and what you have in mind.

Guest classes and workshops

Available

A weekly slot, a guest morning, or a workshop on something specific: technique, alignment, pranayama, or the therapeutic end of the practice. I currently teach at Leela and Amplify in Lisbon.

Co-hosting an immersion

Available

The best weeks I have been part of came from two teachers putting their practices side by side. I am co-hosting A Sadhana Immersion in Monchique with Hannah, and I am open to building another.

Teaching on your retreat

Available

You hold the container, I hold the practice. Mornings that build and afternoons that release, adapted to whoever is actually in the room rather than to a template.

NeedA floor, and a start time early enough to matter
Invite me to teach

Yoga teacher and student. The second half of that matters more to me than the first.

My practice is rooted in the Ashtanga system and enriched by vinyasa, hatha, kriya, Katonah Yoga, pranayama and meditation. What I teach blends awareness and introspection with a more therapeutic, supportive approach, so it can hold you not only physically but mentally and emotionally too.

Each session is designed to help you step out of the thinking mind and into the feeling body, so you leave with more clarity, softness and understanding of yourself. Embracing the joy of being.
