Private Yoga in Lisbon, Estoril & Cascais
with Dr. Trish Corley, DPT, E-RYT 500
The only Doctor of Physical Therapy - Europe's equivalent of a physiotherapist - offering private yoga & wellness on the Estoril Coast.
What if your private yoga session came with the knowledge of a Doctor of Physical Therapy, the intuition of an experienced movement expert, and the personal attention you'd never get in a group class?
That's exactly what a private session with me offers.
I'm a US-licensed Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) - the equivalent of a physiotherapist in Europe - and E-RYT 500 yoga teacher with over 20 years of experience working with bodies across three continents. I'm the only Doctor of Physical Therapy offering private yoga on the Estoril Coast. In every session I bring clinical depth, anatomical expertise, and genuine care into a yoga experience that is completely tailored to you.
Dealing with a complex injury, post-surgical recovery, or chronic health condition? Ask me about Clinical Yoga - a more intensive, assessment-based approach to your wellness.
This is for you if:
You're recovering from an injury or surgery and want to move again - safely, intelligently, and with confidence.
You've been told by your doctor or healthcare practitioner to "do yoga" and have no idea where to start.
You're new to yoga and want personalized guidance from the very beginning.
You're an experienced practitioner ready to go deeper, refine your alignment, or finally master that challenging pose.
You want the focused attention of a one-on-one wellness session without the typical clinical setting.
You're ready to invest in yourself and your body in a way that actually moves the needle.
What makes this different?
Most yoga teachers can guide you through a sequence. Most physiotherapists can assess your movement. Very few people can do both at once - and that's exactly what you get with me.
In our sessions I don't just watch you move. I see how you move. My physical therapy training allows me to identify the root cause of what's limiting you, the compensations your body has developed over time, and the specific inputs your body needs to shift. Then I deliver all of that through yoga - through breath, posture, alignment, and intelligent sequencing that meets you exactly where you are.
I also offer hands-on assists when desired. Many clients say it feels like yoga and a deep tissue massage at the same time. They're always optional and always intentional.
This is not a generic yoga class delivered one-on-one. This is a fully personalized movement and wellness experience grounded in over two decades of clinical and teaching expertise.
Where do we meet?
I offer sessions from my private studio loft in São João do Estoril - a quiet and welcoming space located just a few minutes walk from the train station filled with natural light and AC when needed.
Sessions are designed to fit your life, not the other way around.
For clients seeking private yoga in Estoril, Cascais, and along the Estoril Coast - including Parede, Carcavelos, and São João do Estoril - sessions can take place at your home, a local park, or another location that works for you.
Prefer to work virtually? I offer private yoga sessions via Zoom from anywhere in the world. All you need is a yoga mat, your device, and a space to move.

In your first session: We'll start with a conversation to align on your goals and what success looks like for you. Then we get to work - because your body doesn't need to wait to start feeling better.

Frequently Asked Questions About Private Yoga in Lisbon, Estoril, & Cascais
-
Clinical Yoga is a specialized one-on-one offering for people recovering from injury or surgery, managing a neurological or chronic health condition, or dealing with a complex movement challenge. Unlike a standard private yoga session, Clinical Yoga begins with an in-depth assessment of how you move, your health history, and your goals - the same depth of attention you would expect from a highly skilled physical therapist, delivered through the lens of yoga and holistic healing. From there I develop a targeted plan designed to get you moving better in as few sessions as possible. This may include massage, manual techniques, exercise prescriptions, breathing/meditation exercises, and more. Your treatment will start on the day of the initial assessment.
The initial assessment rate is €150. The goal is to get you healed in as few sessions as possible. The number and cost of the following sessions is based on the findings of the initial assessment and discussed with you

My sessions are yoga and wellness sessions, not physiotherapy or physical therapy treatment. That said, as a Doctor of Physical Therapy - what Europeans call a physiotherapist - I bring that same depth of clinical training and movement expertise to every session. This means I see your movement patterns, understand your body's history, and design your practice with a level of anatomical knowledge most yoga teachers simply don't have. You get the benefits of working with someone who thinks like a physiotherapist, delivered entirely through yoga.
For those seeking a more intensive, assessment-based approach, Clinical Yoga takes this even further. See the “What is Clinical Yoga?” question above.
