Helping women move through transitions
Yoga classes in Lisbon, private sessions, retreats and an online program for women standing between two chapters.
The messy middle
Between the ages of 30 and 50, women are almost constantly in a transitional state: matrescence, motherhood, career change, midlife, perimenopause, and sometimes on top of that, a divorce, a move or elderly care.
Transitions are the space between the before, comfortable and predictable, and the after, the scary unknown. It's easy to get lost there. I certainly did, several times, and I wish I had had someone to walk this path alongside me.
So I built the practice I needed.

The In-Between
A 6-week home retreat for women navigating change, blending yoga, meditation and writing. Not therapy, not coaching, not fixing: a practice space to inhabit the woman you are becoming, alongside other women who get it.
Bonjour !
I'm Pauline
A writer and a yoga & meditation teacher (RYT-500, trained at YogaWorks NYC), I left a career in retail tech between New York and Los Angeles to move to Lisbon with my family in 2023, in pursuit of a slower, more soulful life.
I now teach for women moving through transitions, using yoga and meditation, writing and community.
From tech to wellness, from the US to Portugal, from disconnected to embodied... Voilà !
