The Kynd Classes.
What classes are offered? What levels? What language?
We offer daily classes (all taught in English) in exciting variations of YOGA, PILATES, BARRE, HIIT & FUSION WORKOUTS. FOR ALL LEVELS. AND, AS OF JANUARY 2025, REFORMER PILATES IN OUR NEW STUDIO TOO.
Beginner to advanced. You do you. Our expert teachers are trained to offer modifications for all levels, so you’re encouraged and supported to find the right poses that works for you.
Your First Class?
All levels from newbies to advanced: warmly welcomed!
- Book your spot in advance
- Arrive 15 min before class starts
- Mats & props are available, but we recommend to bring your own mat for great grip & hygiene
- Wear comfortable sports/yoga clothing
- If you have not checked in 5 min before, your spot may be reassigned
- All classes barefoot or socks (such as for HIIT, the floor is designed for it)
If you are coming for a Reformer class (instead of a mat class), and you're new to Reformer machines, please arrive 10 minutes early so the teacher can explain you how the machine works, so you can flow happily!
Do I need to bring my mat/other?
Our mats & props await with love (for free). We do recommend bringing your own mat as extra, if you wish for great grip and hygiene. Or, if you are coming for a Reformer Class, just bring a towel for under your back.
PS. Bring your water bottle & towel!
Changing area? Showers?
Yes, we have 3 private changing cabins and a general changing area (in both studios), but no showers.
What are the memberships & pricings?
You can purchase credits or memberships to enjoy both the mat and reformer studio, located next to each other. Each mat class requires 1 credit, while reformer classes require 2 credits. If you have 1 credit left at the end of your (credit) pack, it can be used for a mat class. You can also choose memberships for either the mat studio, or the reformer studio only, or combined. Check here for info. And booking is easy & quick:
- Go here
- Click on the class you desire
- Fill in your payment details
- Let's FLOW!
We recommend downloading the app 'Bsport' to book/cancel your classes.
Need to CANCEL a class? Or NO SHOW?
Life happens - we understand. You can cancel up to 6 hours before class start without charge. You can do so via the browser, or (we recommend you download the app) Bsport application.
How to cancel:
- Login to the booking system, by logging into your account.
- Click top right, and go into 'my profile'
- Click into a booked class > and click on 'cancel' to finalize (max 6h before class starts)
Too late or no-show:
- the class credit will deduct automatically from your account.
- as a perk to those with unlimited memberships: the 1st time of each, we see through the fingers. But the second time onwards within 30 days, a fee of €10,- will be charged to your account. Please note that because we already compassionately allowed it to slip the first time, with reminder included, waivering of more late/no show occasions after will not be considered.
Let’s grant love to someone who was in need of that class spot + out of respect for the teachers & this small business studio's existence.
I’ve signed up. When does it start?
Drop-in credit is used for the class you book in (valid for 30 days).
Credits Packages start as of the day of your purchase (valid for 30, 60, 90 days depending on your pack).
Memberships start the day of your purchase (validity depending on your pack).
The Discovery Passes (for the mat or reformer studio) starts the moment of your first booked class.
I signed up on the waiting list, now what?
When a spot frees up and you are on the waitinglist, it is first come first serve. You'll receive an email notification that a spot is available, so we advice you to dive in quickly to secure your class spot!
Late Comers / Closed Front Door
We honor the kindest & top quality classes for students on the mat, so we don’t allow late comers. That means, the front door shall be closed upon to start the classes punctually. Please be mindful to arrive 10-15 minutes beforehand, latest. If you have not checked in 5 minutes before, your spot may be reassigned.
I can’t cancel on time due to a sudden injury. What to do?
Yieks! Hope you’re OK - sending lots of love! Please email your official medical certificate so we can resolve it in our system without late/no show fee.
Phones, our forever friends
Let's turn our phone friends on silent & cosy in our bags during class - we encourage slower living. But if you take pictures before/after class, just don’t forget to share the love by tagging @thekyndspace!
Where can I park nearby?
In Principe Real there is residential parking only. However, about 5 min walk way there is a great parking place here: Parque Largo do Rato telpark by Empark.
Other forms of transport are easy like metro station Rato, various bus spots or just come by taxi or walking (that's how 'Lisbums' are created).
Please count extra time in to park with ease and arrive timely, this is your responsibility for punctual attendance (see section on 'late comers').
Pre- and postnatal friendly classes?
Each pregnancy is unique and individual. It is important that you consult with your medical practitioner with any movement/ exercise programs, and listen to your own body's needs and aches!
The general rule is that if you have a regular yoga/fitness practice, then you are able to continue to practice most of what you are doing with very important modifications - and swapping with more gentle but regular movements towards the end of the 9 months. Do exercises on your side or standing, instead of on your back after month 3.
Others, new to yoga/pilates/others or depending what phase you are in, may be looking for a more restorative practice during these precious months.
If you are new to yoga, or looking for more restorative practice, the gentle classes are a healthy choice and can be tremendously nourishing. These classes include for example, Yin, Mindful Flow, Gentle Yoga, and Hatha Yoga with Sound Journey.
On the other hand, if you're open to something more strength and partially cardio:
Barre classes can be an expectant mom’s ideal solution to an active pregnancy. Since barre is considered low- to no-impact, it’s safe for pregnant women. The intensity of the workout is easily controlled and customisable, and the use of props (and wall, if you wish) provides additional assistance with stability and balance. One of the main reasons we love barre during pregnancies and postpartum is because it gives you the opportunity to still build strength and endurance — two things you absolutely need once baby arrives. Throughout pregnancy and postpartum, you rely on your muscles to stabilize and support your changing body. Barre is the perfect way to build and maintain those muscle groups, which help you breeze through your pregnancy journey with fewer aches, pains and head-noise.
Every teacher's style is different, every student is different in terms of level of fitness and what is being sought for. If you have further questions, feel free to reach out to care@thekyndspace.com.
Alternatively, if you wish for private classes for ultimate safety and guidance - we offer this, too, with our teachers who trained specifically in pre/post natal. We can happily create an ideal package with you, depending on your needs and availability - just email us.
