Workshop promoted by La Bonita Barcelona
An empowering space to share, enjoy and transcend our limits. Here the learning of the ancient art of hair suspension is combined with postural health, conscious breathing and movement research.
A great opportunity both for those who are approaching this discipline for the first time, as well as for those who already practice suspension and want to delve deeper into body care to prepare and maintain the body in all its capacity with the aim of assuming the hair suspension technique in a healthy way.
We want to allow new stimuli to emerge for the movement and expression of this wonderful practice.
