Welcome to the Barcelona Yoga Conference Blog
In this year’s programme post-conference with KD was the event I was most looking for. I already listened to KD’s workshops online from different festivals and yoga events and I love the way he speaks, explains bhakti and how he always says “I don’t know” if he doesn’t know answers to questions. His workshop is […]
MoreA blessed four hours of Osteo Thai with David Lutt today was a wonderful way to finish these days of intense festivities. David is a calm and gentle, heart warming and inspiring teacher. He started with soft chanting of Goddes’s name, a necessary bhakti begining to be able to touch each other from a place […]
MoreWe started the day with a dynamic Jivamukti Yoga class led by Olga Oskorbina. Olga chose to give a class on standing balances as a way to honour our relationship to the Earth and all the earthlings. We chanted sthira sukham asanam beautifully in the beginning. Sharon Gannon, founder of Jivamukti yoga method, interprets this […]
MoreSitting in the shade of BYC Village this morning I chilled after a great experience with Pedro and Terra. This morning they led us through Tribal Trance dance. The only three things that important, said Terra, is breath, intention and remaining blindfolded. So we all took bandanas from her and out them on, each with […]
MoreAfter Olga Oskorbina’s Jivamukti yoga class a friend that was taking it called us “Ejército de Jivamukti” which means Jivamukti army. It made me laugh but in a way it is true, we are an army, because we have joined the method with a purpose, make our lives more meaningful and follow the mantra “lokah […]
MoreI was wondering what David would come up with for this full day of Bhakti Vinyasa, but I have taken classes with him before and I knew it wouldn’t be disappointing, David is wonderful, very engaging, fun and creative teacher. He always warms our hearts with some vibrant chanting, followed by interesting open questions and […]
MoreBhakti experience is intrinsic part of BYC and that’s what makes this event full of bhav – divine mood. We already knew Caitanya from workshops with Patrick where he would lead the “warming up the heart” beginning part of the class, which would make the workshops full of loving warmth. This time it was interesting […]
MoreIt is truly a privilege to be in the presence of a teacher that has been devoted to transmitting this practice for over 30 years. We were all puzzled by what the “undoing yoga” would mean. Angela said that after practicing for many years, having reached a certain level in asana practice she still felt […]
MoreEvery year I wait for BYC like it’s Christmas.The gifts are the yoga experiences. Patrick Broome – Santa Claus and his presents are his presence. The theme of his Friday’s workshop was “becoming gentle”. Patrick suggests that we follow yamas and niyamas through our relationships with others and ourselves. As always with Patrick, the class […]
MoreWonderful experience with Kaline Alayna today during her Yin yoga class. It is great to learn new styles and techniques but nothing compares to a simple class where the teacher creates a safe space for you to be fully present and look deeply within yourself. Kaline has a special vibratory presence. She might have just […]
