About CPYOGA
In 1977, at a time when Yoga was still little known in Portugal, Carlos Rui’s search for an independent method of inner development led to his first contact with the techniques of Hatha Yoga.
In 1978, the activity that would eventually lead to the creation of CPYOGA began in Lisbon.
After years of intensive study and practice, as well as teacher training in Portugal, England and India, Carlos Rui and a group of Yoga students and practitioners officially founded CPYOGA in Lisbon in 1986.
CPYOGA was founded with the aim of preserving, teaching and promoting the practice of Yoga as an Art and a way of life.
Nowadays, the CPYOGA community extends to other cities such as Braga and Santo Tirso, and is also spread across several cities, in Spain like Valencia, Barcelona and Tenerife), contributing to improving the quality of life of students through the practical philosophy of life that is Yoga.
