Come for the practice.
Stay for the people.
DeRose Method Augusta is a school in the heart of Lisbon where practice, culture, and community are part of everyday life.
It is a place to learn, practise, and gradually bring more clarity, vitality, and coherence into daily life.
The environment around the practice matters too.
How people are welcomed matters. So do the conversations after class, the atmosphere of the school, and the way people treat one another.
That is why Augusta is built around more than a timetable: regular practice, workshops, cultural activities, study, lunches, dinners, and informal moments together.
Over time, these moments create a place where people know one another, feel at home, and keep learning.
Techniques
Breathing, attention, body awareness, focus, meditation, vitality, and self-knowledge.
Behaviour
Habits, communication, choices, relationships, discipline, and coherence.
Environment
The culture of the school, its people, conversations, care, and community.
The body is often the beginning, but the Method goes further. The aim is for the practice to make a difference beyond the practice room.
A complete, carefully guided practice
Classes are structured and carefully guided, whether you are completely new or already have experience. You only need curiosity and the willingness to practise with consistency.
The school continues beyond the practice room.
Workshops, lunches, dinners, cultural activities, walks, conversations, and informal gatherings are part of the experience. People get to know one another naturally by spending time together and returning to the same place week after week.
