Classes

A practice for every body

Every class is rooted in classical Hatha yoga, with the precise alignment of the Iyengar method and the judgement that comes from a university education in sport science. Groups are kept small so every posture can be corrected and adapted individually.

Hatha yoga

The core class: postures, breathing and relaxation. All levels welcome, from complete beginners to experienced practitioners.

Yoga for over-60s

Mobility, balance and strength, adapted to each person. A safe practice designed with scientific criteria to build independence and quality of life.

Healthy back

Sessions focused on spinal health: releasing tension, strengthening deep core muscles and learning to move without pain in everyday life.

Kids & family yoga

Yoga as play: emotional awareness, attention and teamwork. Backed by years of experience teaching yoga to children.

About Julia

Julia Moreno Peña

I came to yoga looking for a way to listen to my body and make sense of what I was feeling — and found a way of life. Today I combine that experience with my academic training: I hold a university degree in Physical Activity and Sport Science, which means I understand what is happening in your body in every posture and can adapt the practice with real criteria, not guesswork.

My pedagogical reference is B.K.S. Iyengar: precision, props whenever they help, and absolute respect for each student's starting point. I teach in English and Spanish.

  • University degree in Physical Activity and Sport Science — formal training in anatomy, biomechanics and exercise physiology.
  • Hatha yoga specialist — the classical school of postures and breathwork, the foundation of most modern styles.
  • Experienced kids-yoga teacher — playful sessions focused on emotional skills.
  • Bilingual classes — English and Spanish.

Frequently asked questions

Before your first class

I've never done yoga — can I join?

Absolutely. Hatha yoga is the ideal entry point and every posture is adapted to your level. Just bring comfortable clothes; mats and props are provided.

I have back pain or an injury — can I practise?

In most cases, yes — and with particular safety: my sport-science background allows me to adapt every posture to your situation. Let me know before your first class, and if you are under medical treatment we will always follow your practitioner's guidance.

Are classes really taught in English?

Yes — I teach fully bilingually, and many of my students are English-speaking residents of Nerja and Frigiliana.

Where are the classes held?

In Nerja, at [ADDRESS / STUDIO]. During the warmer months I also run outdoor sessions.
