Urban Grace Barcelona

Sensing the architecture of the living body

Feel free to join during this explorative yoga weekend in the vibrant city of Barcelona. The purpose of this urban yoga weekend is to offer you the possibility to dive deeper into your practice, and give you new insights about your bodily structure in stillness and in movement. At the same time, you will be able to enjoy the city of Barcelona as you like in between the sessions. In other words, you have the freedom to design your weekend as you want. However you are welcome to join Robin for his favorite brunch spots after the morning practice.

Location

We will be practicing at the 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.
