Welcome to the Barcelona Yoga Conference Blog
Clear, precise, and easy-to-apply explanations of the anatomical foundations of inversions, gave all us fellow yogis and yoginis who joined Tiffany Cruikshank today for some furtherYoga Medicine, a brand new insight into creating a stable base when upside down. Starting out with an exploration of shoulder stability, we learnt four tips to draw awareness to […]
MoreA chance to settle down, relax into the body, and give ourselves a good dose of Tender Loving Care: – what better a way to start your Sunday?! Yin Yoga with Mirjam Wagner and David Lurey is like letting the body sink into a fragrant bath tub of bubbles and bliss, with the beautiful combination of […]
MoreOnce again practicing with Patrick Broome today proved to be one of my personal highlights so far on this conference. What an amazing array of experiences all wrapped up into one! Chanting and dancing, free-style practice, smooth, shared Jivamukti-inspired warrior sequences and finally a repetition of twists, hip-openers and backbends to take us gradually deeper […]

The theme of the morning was ‘the core’ and having a dose of Friday morning lethargy (and inner groan when I discovered the focus of the class!), […]
More“Do your little bit of good where you are: it’s those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world.” Desmond Tutu. The moment is nearly here and yogis and yoginis from far and wide have their eyes set on Barcelona, the temperatures, maps, accommodation, location, and particularly for those of us who live […]
MoreEmerging from the darkness of the metro tunnel, the train slows to a halt and the passengers stream off in different directions, at different speeds, on different agendas. Hundreds of people, faces, bodies, colours, a whoosh of energy on and off, in and out. The metro jumps back into life and once again disappears back […]
MoreI will be forever grateful to the practice of Ashtanga Yoga. My regular visits to the different locations along the Primary Series path were a vital journey of acquaintance and discovery, most particularly with myself. For the first couple of years it was literally an introduction to a whole number of muscles I never knew […]
