Andrea Schoonheim

Hatha, Gentle and Yoga Kids

Andrea has been teaching yoga in the region since 2015. For her basic teacher training Andrea went to India and after that she did intensive courses in England, Portugal and Greece.

The classes at O Convento are Hatha Yoga and a gentler version of it. Hatha Yoga is the traditional form of yoga that originated in India thousands of years ago. Everyone can practise (gentle) Hatha Yoga, making Andrea’s classes inclusive. Whether you’re young or old, flexible or not at all, fit or injured, there is always a way to benefit from the practice.

Classes are 90 minutes long, allowing time to explore all aspects of Hatha Yoga, including asana (postures), breathing, mindfulness, etc. Andrea teaches in English but is happy to explain in Dutch, German or Portuguese if necessary.

For children aged 6–12, there is Kids Yoga. These 60-minute classes include yoga games, breathing exercises, mindfulness and actual asana.

About Jools

Jools Rogan taught Barre in London and has practiced yoga for 5 years. In 2025, she began a yoga teacher training with Briohny Smyth, head of ALO MOVES Yoga.

Jools likes to build strong dynamic Vinyasa flow combined with breathwork to place the mind in the present and release energy. She also has a special interest and training in alignment techniques that prevent injury and support the body and therefore get the maximum from our practice.

Ultimately, she loves Yoga and is interested in the physical meeting with the mind and likes to share this empowerment. As a competitive horse rider when she was younger, she also has an interest in the power of yoga to benefit and supplement the training in any sport.

Reformer Pilates and Cardio Power

Classes start on December 1st. If you’d like to get in touch before then, feel free to reach out via Instagram.

Hi, my name is Gemma, wife and mother of two. Originally from Manchester in England, now full time resident and lover of Portugal life. Opening Orange Cork Studios felt like the natural next step in my journey. I have always had a love for Reformer Pilates—it's one of my happy places, where I feel strong, balanced, and re-energised. I wanted to build something that I genuinely love, while creating a career that fits around my family life and allows me to be present for the people who matter most.

Classes

Reformer Pilates (essential)

Reformer Pilates Essentials is designed for beginners, those recovering from injury, or anyone who prefers a slower pace. This class focuses on building strong foundations while introducing you to the Reformer. Explore how your body moves, improve alignment and posture, and gradually build strength, stability, and confidence in every movement.

Reformer Pilates (intermediate / advanced)

Designed for intermediate to advanced clients, this Reformer Pilates class challenges your strength, control, and endurance through dynamic sequences and advanced movements. Expect increased intensity, greater precision, and deeper muscular engagement as you refine your technique, improve stability, and push your limits. Build confidence, elevate your practice, and discover your full potential.

Reformer Cardio Power

Power Reformer combines heavy spring loads, dumbbells, slower tempos, and controlled muscular fatigue for an intense, high-energy workout. Expect to challenge your strength, stability, and endurance through powerful, precise movements that push your limits. Leave feeling stronger, more empowered, and rewarded by every effort you put into your practice.

After living in Portugal for two years, it felt like the right time to start a new adventure. Portugal is now our home, and I wanted to create a business that reflects the lifestyle we have embraced here. With the sunshine, slower pace of life, and a community that values health and wellbeing, it is the perfect place to share the benefits of Reformer Pilates.

Orange Cork Studios is about more than just exercise. It is a welcoming space where people can move, feel stronger, improve their physical and mental wellbeing, and take time for themselves. My goal is to help others discover the same enjoyment and confidence that Reformer Pilates has given me. I am excited to build a supportive community where everyone feels encouraged, inspired, and empowered to prioritise their health and enjoy moving their bodies. I can’t wait to welcome you.
