The Barcelona Yoga Weeks retreat centre was built in a big and beautiful modernistic house in the heart of Barcelona. The centre is located in a nice and quiet street, yet minutes’ walk away from the central gothic neighbourhood and a 10 minute walk away to the beach of Barcelona. The building is one of the catalogued examples of the modernistic movement (Gaudi’s movement) and was built in the year 1890. The building and the house has been conserved with all its magic features such as: Nolla colourful flooring, high and decorated ceilings, long and airy corridors, the iron works of the back facade and a smart distribution of the rooms allowing all of them to have access to outdoor spaces, such as internal patios or balconies. The building has the 1st elevator installed in the city, also dated 1890, a magnificent example of woodwork and engineering for old high class housing. All rooms are spacious and carefully designed by one of the most creative and young design studios in Barcelona: PPT Interiors, with whom we carefully studied and designed the centre to maintain the flow and give guests the maximum comfort. We restored this space to bring a modernistic and relaxing vibe to this beautiful space. The result is a welcoming, highly beautiful and comfortable centre to stay, relax, socialise and practise yoga.
