6 Day Urban Yoga Retreat in Barcelona, Spain

Astrologer, Yoga Teacher and Entrepreneur. Founder of Yoga Weeks.

After more than 12 years within the corporate world in both London and Barcelona, a sequence of personal and professional situations brought deep questioning of my life at the time. A deep transformative process.

At the teacher training:

I dedicate my energy to general coordination of each group, from booking, to getting settled in Barcelona and attending all needed during the process of each training. I will also teach Ethics and Professional Development and all related to Yoga Alliance processes as well as the Yoga Business module. A unique 2 days workshop where I will share all my experience and knowledge about classes, owing studio, retreats and trainings. Plenty of tips for the next steps!

Namaste everyone.

Yoga has been a constant practice for me for over 10 years now. I started practicing yoga in Chile, where I am from and finally became a Yoga Teacher 2 years ago.

I obtained my certification (200hrs) In Mysore, India.

I have also followed special training and workshops with recognized teachers around the world.

My classes of Hatha Vinyasa are very dynamic and strongly inspired by the Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga method.

Postures are developed through movements which interlink one asana from another, focusing on the use of breathing and bandhas, to protect our body and keep our mind flowing through the class.

As my teacher says, Yoga finds us because we started the practice long time ago, before this live; so we are just awaking ancient wisdom we already have within.

I began practicing Yoga 10 years ago. At the beginning it was just a hobby, but the more I practiced it, the better I felt. In the seeking of developing my practice, I found Ashtanga Yoga that gave me discipline and changed completely my life: my body, my thoughts, my eating habits, my relationships, everything; So I dived into the knowledge of the practice and became a 500 hrs Ashtanga Teacher.

With time, I found myself needing to play a little with my asana practice so I began to create new sequences and alternate them with Ashtanga.

Nowadays I’m studying The Chakras, and how to heal from the movement, the breathing, and meditation. So I try to incorporate all that into an active Chakra-Yoga practice.

I’m thankful and honored to share my practice, so let’s meet on the mat!

My name is Ana, I was born in Barcelona and I discovered yoga for the first time when I was studying Art History at university.

I clearly remember that, for some reason. I didn’t completely enjoy my first class. But something pushed me to keep exploring this new path opening in front of me because, despite everything, I sensed there was something deeply powerful and liberating on it.

During the first years, my practice was very intermittent, attending workshops, practising at the gym, trying different styles and teachers. During that period of my life I was also training as an actress, where there was a wide part focused on breathing and corporal training. Then I started to deeply connect.

This work done at training, combined with my yoga practice, awaked my physical, respiratory and energetic consciousness. I was learning to listen to myself.

Naturally, Yoga started to take more space in my everyday life.Eager to be more self-sufficient in my practice and keep learning and deepening this spiritual path I followed a Hatha Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training at Spirit Sadhana School of Yoga (200h, Yoga Alliance).

After that and to find balance in my own practice, as well as to bring some lunar energy to my classes, I certified Yin Yoga in 2021 (60h, Yoga Alliance), which I found fascinatin. So necessary in our very Yang lifestyle and helped me a lot to discover space in my body as well as a point for meditation.,

Mostly, the type of yoga in my classes will be Hatha Vinyasa. Ha means “sun” and tha means “moon”. The aim of Hatha Yoga is balancing lunar energy and solar energy, yin and yang, femenine and masculine. This type of yoga is energizing and balancing.

Generally, we will practice it in the Vinyasa style so it’s a dynamic practice with a part of stretching and relaxation.

There’s always time spent on pranayama and a meditation. Dependingon the group at the retreat, I also offer Yin Yoga classes.

No matter if it’s your first yoga class or you’ve been practicing for years. Adjustments and variations will be offered so you can adapt the poses, challenge yourself or take a calmer practice if it’s what your body asks you today. The most important thing is to practice with consciousness.

I’m really thankful for every person willing to receive my practice and learn with me.

See you on the mat!Namaste.
