L Fun Yoga Barcelona has been created by the Yoga Teacher Manel Lopez Agudo a few years ago from his personal need for physical and spiritual improvement. Manel has been teaching as a Certified Yoga Teacher (RYS500) since 2010 and training other yoga teachers since 2015. He has been giving lessons in some of the oldest and best-known Yoga Studios in Barcelona, like Mandiram and Yogaone, as well as in prestigious clubs such as the Real Club de Polo de Barcelona and the Bonasport Club.
Reading his story below will let you understand the meaning of his project.
"I always loved to take care of my body. Every week I was swimming, running and cycling, training hard for the Triathlon Olympics Competitions. However, my back has always been a problem and I wasn´t able to find a way to relieve the pain. Some days the pain was so intense that it was hard for me to conduct my ordinary life.
I decided then to start practising Yoga and very soon, my body was getting better, and the pain was less annoying. Together with my physical wellness, I discovered in myself a sense of freedom, calm and peace. My body improved along with my emotions and spirit.
In 2008 I participated in my first Yoga Retreat without knowing no one. It was an amazing and positive experience where I found new and interesting people that then became my friends. In addition to practise Yoga, being surrounded by nature I had the time to rest and make some order in my head. After some retreats, I realized the importance of this small break from the routine; a time where to think deeply about personal or professional matters and to reflect on your own path."
L - It is the abbreviation of the elephant showed in our logo. It represents the nature and the animal world along with respect we have towards them and our environment. Nature is part of our lives and today most people don´t feel any more even the connection with their own nature. This is the reason why our retreats are organized mostly in natural ambient.
Fun - It is synonymous with pleasure and happiness. Our rule is to smile and enjoy what we do every day. In our retreats, we have fun and we share that enthusiasm and that fun with all the participants.
Yoga - It is the heart of our retreats. It is the path of self-knowledge and self-development, a lifestyle that begins every morning with a physical practice and ends with meditation. Yoga requires rigour and discipline that we like to share with more people who, like you, want to grow and have fun, connecting with their essence and their environment.
Barcelona - It is the city where this idea was born and from where it is offered to the rest of the world. We consider Barcelona as one of the most multicultural and opened-mind cities in Europe. Through our retreats, you will have the possibility to travel to other places and we will also stay here to welcome traveller yogis from all over the world.
It is to share with you a healthy lifestyle based on practising Yoga and vegetarian food, surrounded by nature and positive relationships. You will have the chance to experience a complete and dynamic practice of Asana, Pranayama and Meditation with variations for all levels.
Manel and the other teachers will be always near you to assist your practice giving the best suggestions for your personal development. From this experience, you will collect new tools that will help you grow internally and improve your Yoga practice.
We study carefully the location of our retreats and we are always looking to find a natural and peaceful place with high-quality accommodation as sleeping well is very important for our body and our mind. This is the reason why we specifically select comfortable rooms for two or maximum three people with en suite bathroom, soft towels and clean linens.
And obviously, don´t forget that we will arrange for you every meal of the day with vegetarian and energetic food. Available along all day you will find water, tea and infusion, as well as a big basket of fresh and dried fruits.
