About Francisco
What role does yoga play in your life?
Yoga is a body-mind-breath practice. It offers practical tools that apply to almost everything: how we work, relate to others, treat ourselves, play sports, or communicate. It sharpens awareness and expands our perspective in all areas of life.
What do you hope to share with your students in your yoga classes?
I aim to share a broader vision of what yoga can be, practical techniques for personal practice that also translate into everyday life.
What would you describe as the core of your philosophy?
Yoga is a method for clarity. It helps to become more focused, efficient, and self-aware. It teaches us how to understand the present and past, and how to shape the future. It can be a deeply magical and esoteric experience, but that magic starts with consistent technique.

Our next Retreats
Bärbel teaches in the heartfelt YOGAMOUR style – a refreshing blend of dynamism, lightness, and mindfulness. In the mornings, we flow together through energizing Vinyasa sequences, while the late afternoons invite you to calming Yin Yoga sessions, accompanied by breathing exercises and meditation.
The retreat begins with a slightly more dynamic Welcome Yoga session – the perfect way to arrive, let go, and ease into the days ahead.
With Bärbel’s attentive yoga sequences, powerful flows, and back-friendly Yin Asanas, you strengthen your body awareness and discover an upright, proud posture – both inside and out. You’ll take home this newfound lightness and joy.
For more challenging poses, Bärbel always offers gentle variations – making each practice welcoming, nourishing, and perfectly tailored to you.
