Sunday Yoga for BIPOC

🌿 Yoga for BIPOC in Barcelona

‼️ Updates: from the next week we will be practising in Ciutadella Park. CLICK HERE for the exact location.

Let’s practice yoga, nourish ourselves, connect, build community, have fun and liberate together 💜

I’ve been longing for a space where BIPOC can come together beyond loud events, beyond alcohol, beyond fast‑moving spaces 🧞‍♀️🧚🏾‍♂️🧜🏽. This gathering is for BIPOC living in or visiting Barcelona who want slower, softer community through yoga and conversation.

After practice, you’re invited to grab tea/coffee/cake at a nearby café, hang out, talk, connect, build friendships and more. The inspiration to connect beyond the mat comes from the beautiful Yoga Community Project created by Matti in London – if you’re also longing for community here, come be part of this.

🧘🏾‍♀️ What to expect

• A mini‑retreat: 1.5–2 hours in the park
• Practices from the wider yoga tradition:
• • āsana (postures)
  • prāṇāyāma (breath practices)
  • mantrā (aloud, whispered, or silent)
  • hasta mudrā (hand gestures/visualisations)
  • quiet meditation with a chosen point of focus
• Seasonal themes guided by Ayurvedic wisdom (supporting physical, mental and emotional needs)
• If the weather is bad, we meet online instead via Jitsi:

Because yoga is so much more than poses.

• Blanket, mat or towel (anything non‑slippery)
• Small towel/cushion to support sitting bones, knees or head
• Warm socks and layers/blanket for stillness and savāsana
• Sun protection
• Bottle of water
• A tea cup – we share warm tea (red dates, goji berries, clove, cardamom, mint)
• Anything else that supports your practice

♿ Accessibility

• The practice area is located in the park on a gentle hill with a small step up.
• Step‑free and wheelchair‑friendly routes are available up to the base of the hill; assistance may be helpful for the final step or slope
• Grass surface (may be uneven or soft – please bring what you need for comfort)
• No added scents or incense
• Public toilet at ~250m and accessible toilets
• Outdoors – please dress for the weather

🌱 Make it work for you

• No prior experience needed.
• Flexible practice: you will be offered options to suit different needs; the practice is yours – you are free to adapt, rest, or do something completely different if your body or mind asks for it 🛋️🦽🛏️
• Supportive resources: PDFs and audio to support sitting and laying postures are available here: https://www.abyhasa.co.uk/meditation

💜 Who this space is for

This space is open to all BIPOC regardless of caste, gender, sexual orientation, age, body type or ability 🧚🏾‍♂️🧞‍♀️🦹🏿. I strive to create an inclusive and accessible space and deeply value your feedback – what works, what doesn’t, what you need more of. Direct, honest feedback is welcome.

I have completed a trauma‑informed course. I do not hold a clinical qualification, but I aim to apply trauma‑informed principles to the best of my knowledge, knowing that everyone’s trauma is unique. Your reflections help me better curate the practice for you.

💸 Donations
