Here we are with the new BYC 2015 programe. I feel as if I am unwrapping a present the moment I am opening the link to view it for the first time. More than anything I want to see familiar and dear names of KrishnaTakis and Patrick Broome. But also, what´s new? Who are […]
MoreLast day of something big, deep and long can be pretty sad, but not today. At BYC2014 Shiva Rea leads us into the Elemental Prana Flow and Wave sequencing.

MoreWhat a bliss to be at BYC2014. It’s hot and we’re walking from class to class, holding hands and embracing during the breaks.

MoreOut of all the highlights of the BYC my favourite is certainly Jai Uttal’s presence and the free (!) entrance to his kirtan. I feel obliged to talk about it anytime I can, as I really hope all Barcelona will come and join to chant in one voice on Saturday 5 July. Jai Uttal’s concert […]
MoreMaybe you’re not as much into yoga, maybe you don’t need to get yourself into a pretzel every second morning, but do you like to connect to people? Do you enjoy healthy food, positive vibes, live music? If you do, then BYC is indeed for you and has so much to offer. Firstly, you will […]
