Join us, Ann-Sophie, Katarina and Bernat on a unique journey focusing on you, your health and your well-being.
On this trip we will also explore this fantastic culture-rich part of Catalonia. We visit Tarragona, where we are guided through ancient Roman times. Our guide Bernat takes us 2000 years back in time and we visit the city’s golden grains which are part of UNESCO’s World Heritage.
We also visit medieval villages and castles, vineyard visits, and enjoy a lot of good Spanish and Catalan food and wine.
We mix excursions with workouts in the form of yoga, jogging, functional training and stretching exercises.
The ambition is that you will go home full of energy and wonderful experiences, but also with inspiration for a new, lasting way to live and exercise.
On this trip we are a maximum of 6 people, which allows us to place great focus on each of you. That every participant feels seen and prioritized is something that we value highly on our travels. In addition, it will be a wonderfully cozy community, personal and genuine.
The trip holds a very high quality, both in the training session as well as the guided tours, the food and the wines. We strive to be as organic as possible and / or locally produced as much as possible. We start from the beautiful Finca La Gunilla with Katarina and her daughter Noelia and the adoptive dogs Vito, Vina and Roxy.
