What You'll Explore
This spring immersion combines fundamental movement concepts with advanced exploration across multiple physical domains:
Rhythm & Timing
Discover how rhythm underpins all movement. "Heart is a drum machine" - learn to find, express, and manipulate rhythm through your body, developing timing that translates across all physical disciplines.
Martial Elements
Explore the principles of efficient force generation, spatial awareness under pressure, and adaptive response patterns drawn from martial arts traditions.
Partner Work & Communication
Build movement literacy through non-verbal dialogue. Partner work develops sensitivity, adaptability, and the capacity to navigate complex physical interactions.
Athletic Development
Strengthen the fundamentals of athleticism - force transmission, coordination, agility, and the coherent integration of your body as a unified system.
Internal Mapping
Develop proprioceptive precision by creating detailed internal maps of your body in space. This foundational work enhances every movement skill you'll ever pursue.
Improvisation & Adaptability
Learn the rules to break them. Build an adaptable body capable of solving novel movement problems across any environment or situation.
The Generalist Approach
The Bamboo Body Barcelona is an educational facility where we approach human movement from different angles in order to provide our students with understanding of its complexity. Rather than specializing in a single discipline, this workshop draws from dance, gymnastics, martial arts, acrobatics, and more - extracting the essence of each to build comprehensive movement capacity.
Created for people who are excited to explore their physicality and develop their movement practice, this immersion welcomes movers of all backgrounds - from professional athletes to office workers beginning their movement journey.
Who This Is For
Athletes seeking to improve longevity, prevent injury, and enhance performance
Movement practitioners wanting to deepen their understanding of fundamental concepts
Anyone looking to build resilience, adaptability, and physical intelligence
People ready to move beyond conventional fitness into genuine movement education
Those curious about the Ido Portal method and Movement Culture philosophy
No previous movement experience required. The pedagogy adapts to each individual's starting point.
What Makes This Different
The Bamboo Body, a movement training facility led by students of Ido Portal, is the first of its kind in Spain to follow Portal's methods and philosophy. We offer education, not a workout.
You'll receive:
Practical tools and conceptual frameworks to develop your practice independently
Personalized guidance adapted to your current capacities
Experience training alongside a dedicated community of movers
Knowledge that spills into the quality of your everyday life
We don't own our bodies, we ARE the bodies. There is no separation between body and mind. Through movement, we erase this barrier and gain understanding of ourselves.
