About your host

Carol Roberts-Twigg

Carol has run many yoga retreats over the past 3 years. She has a passion for sharing her knowledge of yoga and the Empowerment it gives her students both on and off the mat.

“Yoga has been a part of my life since 2010. My practice has helped me grow stronger, more flexible and fearless, both on and off the mat. Yoga inspires me to live each moment more mindfully."

​

"In my classes, I love to combine creative sequencing, a spirit of playfulness and a dose of inspiration to help you deepen your practice. I seek to help others thrive in live by nurturing body, mind and soul with yoga, and my hope is that you step off the mat feeling refreshed, nourished and balanced.”

Kerstin

Kerstin's flow sequences are a reflection of her love for yoga. The intention of her classes is to allow the practitioner to discover the beauty in their practice and body. She is qualified in two styles of yoga - vinyasa and Yin. Her core belief is that "yoga assists us in navigating through this life with integrity and love, allowing us to shine our own individual light upon the world".

is from the UK and lived in Barcelona since 2014. After seeing tremendous personal benefits to both mental and physical health practicing the Wim Hof Method, he created the 'Sea You on Saturday' group in 2020 (morning beach dips & breathwork sessions). Since completing his WHM Instructor certification in March 2022, Huw has been hosting official workshops, retreats, breathing sessions and ice baths in & around Barcelona. For Huw, the one word that sums up the Method is "connection" - to oneself, to nature, and to others and he always feels privileged to spread this far and wide. He loves local coffee, exploring the countryside and eating good food!
