Reviewing Glow studio in Barcelona.

Glow was my first yoga studio which I tried in Barcelona. When I was looking for classes in English, that was the top Google search position. I liked the website, modern look and cool vibe it presented. The selection of the classes and the easy booking process were impressive, so I did not hesitate to jump right into it.
Central location in el Born is a big plus, but it may be a bit tricky to find in all those little streets. When you finally encounter it, you enter the studio through the garden… Wow, it mesmerizes you even before entering the studio.
I remember my first class there with a fantastic yogi - Bodhi. His energy, smile and vibe are making his classes one of a kind. He introduced me to Jivamukti. Another yoga type that is more spiritual but also very intense.
(He doesn’t teach there anymore but I am going to write another post just about him.)
Another classes that I took there, were with Beth - Yin yoga, Alba - Ashtanga and Rocket with Lucy. Lucy’s Rocket class is a good mix of Hatha yoga combined with Ashtanga and loads of inversions. It is challenging but fun and she makes it really enjoyable! Beth always has her classes fully booked, so I guess it speaks for itself.
Apart from all the good sides of the studio, I must point out some of its flaws too.
I was hoping for an Ashtanga class, but what I received was more of a traditional Vinyasa. I believe this was just a one-time case. What also concerns me is the fact, that the studio perhaps needs a bit of a renovation. The building is quite old, which is typical for this area, but a bit of freshen up definitely could help.
Generally, this studio is worth my recommendation, especially for those who prefer to practice yoga in English. At Glow, you can rise and shine but also find peace. Pass the secret garden and open your heart.
