INHABIT
Movement Retreat | May 28-31, 2026
Rural house 1 hour from Barcelona, surrounded by nature
Four days to slow down and deepen into the concepts that underlie all human movement. Concrete ideas translated into practice and applied to your body.
What we'll work on
Somatics: Filling and inhabiting the body
Most people move without being truly present. You'll learn to fully occupy your body, to feel from within, to develop the capacity to listen to what's happening as you move.
Body intelligence
What is it exactly? How do you develop it? How do you apply it in your daily practice? We'll work on your body's capacity to solve problems, adapt, and learn. A practical and measurable tool.
Connectivity and organization
How you organize your body determines how you move. We'll explore the real connections between parts, how to create functional chains, how to distribute force and tension intelligently. The principles that make movement efficient, powerful, and sustainable.
All of this taught with concrete tools by instructors with over 12 years of practice and direct study with Ido Portal.

Nutrition
All meals are included and prepared by Daniel Vega, co-founder of The Bamboo Body.
Daniel has spent years experimenting with nutrition from a bioenergetic approach—food prepared with intention, quality ingredients, and a deep understanding of how what you eat affects how you move and how you feel.
This isn't generic retreat food. It's an integral part of the experience.
Accommodation
Rural house surrounded by nature, one hour from Barcelona toward Lleida.
Shared rooms for 2-3 people. The space is designed for practice, rest, and community living.
Maximum group of 16 people.
What to bring
Comfortable clothes for movement (multiple layers, mornings can be cool)
Notebook and something to write with
Curiosity and an open mind
Is this for me?
No specific level of movement required. What you do need is a real desire to learn and to question how you move.
This retreat is for you if:
You already sense that movement is something deeper than what it seems
You want to understand the concepts behind practice, not just repeat exercises
You're looking for real tools you can apply to your daily life and practice
You value quality over quantity
You're interested in being in community with others who take practice seriously
About The Bamboo Body

Our students stay with us for years because they see real transformations, not just in how they move, but in how they inhabit their body and understand practice.
We teach movement in a way few do: with depth, real attention, and tools that work.
