Olifant Yoga

I highly recommend Olifant Yoga. The location is great, in central Rio de Janeiro. The installations are spacious and clean. There are plenty of classes scheduled in the morning and in the afternoon so it offers many times to choose from. Rafael, the yoga instructor is great, he's very kind and knowledgeable. Doing yoga poses in the yoga swings is quite fun too. If you're looking for a yoga studio in Rio this is definitely a place to go.

The space is located in the easily accessible downtown area of Rio de Janeiro. You can get there through many different means of transportation.

Excellent location. Beautiful studio. Professor Rafael gives us a lot of knowledge. Practice with discipline is changing my life. I recommend it to everyone, especially to those looking for personal growth.

Excellent yoga studio! The teacher, Rafael, is an extremely dedicated and attentive person, in addition to clearly having a very extensive knowledge about the practice and theory of yoga, which he passes on to the students very lightly. I just started practicing and I'm loving it, I couldn't have chosen a better place! :)

The studio is extremely comfortable, organized and clean. The instructor and owner is super attentive, from scheduling to class. Even being a beginner, Rafael made me feel confident to execute the positions in a way that respects the limits of my body, but always trying to improve my posture and flexibility. I always leave there tired but very relaxed. I strongly recommend!

Both the space and the service offered are excellent. As far as space is concerned, we have a comfortable, beautiful, well-decorated studio, with a large room for yoga practice, all the necessary equipment and in excellent condition. There is a bathroom, a toilet, a space for changing clothes, an anteroom/desk that is good for waiting. With regard to the service, the person in charge of the studio, Rafael Bodhisattva, is very competent in his activity and in the broadest senses: not only does he have exemplary technical mastery, but he knows very well the philosophical, historical and religious references of yoga — as well as , on the scientific side of the thing, its relations with human physiology, anatomy and even genetics. It should be noted that the teacher is also the author of a very interesting work on yoga, "Olifant Yoga, how to lead a yogic life". Highly recommendable space for practicing at any level of experience that the practitioner may have.

I highly recommend the studio! The classes are great, Professor Rafael is attentive to each student, gives confidence and shares knowledge beyond practice. The location is great and the environment is cozy and well maintained.

It's really nice to start the day practicing yoga at Olifant. The space is very cozy, clean and organized. The teacher is also great! He is very competent and caring. It is a meditative experience that makes me feel better, more productive, focused, calm, optimistic and grateful for life. Practicing yoga early in the morning has been critical to my physical and emotional health. I highly recommend!

Excellent experience. The teachings that Rafael does during class contribute to quality of life in physical and mental matters. I have a hernia problem and after a month of classes, I already feel better. I strongly recommend Rafael's classes.

I'm going to spend a month working in RJ and after looking for Yoga studios in the center I ended up meeting Olifant Yoga and Professor Rafael. Classes have been great! The environment and space are carefully prepared with great care! I just thank you!!

Without a doubt, the best Yoga studio I've ever been to! Great environment, complete classes that unite theory and practice. Not to mention Rafael's dedication and patience, which make all the difference! Highly recommend!

I researched a lot before starting and I highly recommend the studio. Instructor Rafael is excellent, very technical, very attentive, respecting everyone's limits (I'm a beginner) and always brings some knowledge about yoga at the beginning of each class. In turn, the studio is easily accessible, with good structure and, above all, with a great vibe. I am very satisfied.

The space is great, well located, very organized and well equipped! Multiple schedule options! The teacher is very well prepared, experienced, dedicated, kind and attentive! I love practice, it's my fuel for a day of work with focus and disposition!!!

I love Olifant Yoga classes! The teaching method is didactic and the practices are very pleasant. The series are very good and the teacher is excellent. Also, the studio is very clean and organized. I highly recommend!

Excellent structure and strategic location, close to VLT and subway. The experience has been very good. Prof. Rafael is clear in explaining the movements, in addition to keeping the class very fluid. I recommend.

Excellent studio, easily accessible and with good structure. Instructor Rafael always seeks to bring new information about the practice of yoga and the benefits of each exercise, guides students according to each one's level, always respecting individual limits. I recommend the practice and the studio to everyone!

Excellence and professionalism. The studio is very clean, organized and well structured. The teacher is wonderful! I indicate a lot.

Undoubtedly one of the best in the city center. When I went to enroll I researched several. At Olifant I found a super quiet space, very pleasant, clean and organized, in addition to being super well located. About the experience of the classes, I was extremely satisfied, the Professor is great, demonstrates a lot of knowledge about Yoga as a whole, helps us and corrects the postures. Great classes! I highly recommend!

Super quiet and organized studio, ideal for practice Professor Rafael transmits a lot of knowledge and full mastery of the subject.

Super amazing, charming and pleasant space for the practice of Yoga in the center of Rio. Its location makes it possible to optimize your time, so that you don't get away from the practice of Yoga, even with your daily commitments. Very competent and caring instructor.

The studio is very well located and organized, with a great structure. And teacher Rafael is super attentive, the classes are wonderful. I highly recommend!
