English-Speaking Yoga in Barcelona

I did Pilates on the mat with Julia a couple of times while I was training for an Ironman, and it was great. She really got me working on the smaller core and structural muscles, not just the big gross movements, and I felt challenged on strength, balance and stability rather than cardio. The space is clean with nice lighting, and communication is rapid and on the spot; she speaks fluent English and she’s German. Price felt within range for expats, maybe a bit expensive for a local, but overall really, really good and I’ve already recommended her.

Mieke was recommended by a friend, and from my first class I burst into tears in a good way. She explains every pose in simple words - what it does, which muscles it touches, and why it fits the theme of the day like yin yang or yogalates - so I can actually follow and learn. Her classes are easy to follow, she connects with you personally, and she built a real community that kept practicing together even after she handed the group to another teacher. Also, the classes were very affordable with pay-per-class, no membership, which I loved.

I’ve been doing yoga with Tslil for about four years, first in person and now online on Teams or Google, and she’s fantastic. She always checks how my lower back is and tailors the session so it’s not too hard and not too easy, and she’s on time, very professional and also very personable. I finish feeling refreshed and relaxed, and the specific movements she gives me usually ease the pain and I often wake up the next day feeling much better. She’s really first class and very affordable, and I’m very pleased I found her.
