About the Weekend

Welcome to this explorative yoga weekend in the vibrant city of Barcelona.

The intension of this weekend is to offer an experience that brings new perspectives, freedom and creativity to your practice, as well as new insights about the body-mind connection.
With the help of the Virya Yoga Method we indulge in different somatic themes with the purpose of embodying your spirit and architecture.
At the same time, you will be able to enjoy the city of Barcelona as you wish in between the sessions. In other words, between the classes you have the freedom to spend your weekend as you want.

Location

We will be practicing at La Piconera dance studio at the base of Montjuic mountain in the authentic Poble Sec Area - a still unknown district for most of the tourists that keeps a strong history among its streets.

Centrally located but still in a close connection to nature. The studio with its high cealing, big windows and theatrical atmosphere makes the practice very special, as well as its floor that has a nice response and friction allowing those of us who want to practice without mat.
