Barcelona Yoga & Pole Camp blends pole training and daily yoga

Barcelona Yoga & Pole Camp ran July 13-19, 2026, at Feeling Woman studio in Barcelona, combining up to 20 hours of pole-dance workshops with daily yoga sessions. The week-long retreat was billed for all levels and was led by VeeNiz, Raphaella Rose and Kike Bandirali.

The camp’s own setup looked more like a packaged training retreat than a loose string of classes. Its site carried separate pages for prices, instructors, timetable, gallery and testimonials, and the Instagram profile described it as an annual Yoga & Pole Dance camp in Barcelona under the line “Yoga & Pole for your Body, Mind and Soul.” That profile also identified Raphaella Rose as founder and showed 1,265 followers and 1,407 following, a modest audience for a niche format that still carries enough identity to repeat year after year.

What makes the event interesting is the way it tries to sell depth without narrowing the market. Pole dance supplies the strength work, coordination and progression; yoga handles mobility, breath work and recovery. A related retreat listing pushed the concept further, saying the format welcomes all levels while also offering special workshops for more advanced and pro pole dancers. That split matters. It suggests the camp is not just a beginner-friendly sampler, but a multi-track week that can keep experienced pole students engaged while still pulling in newcomers who want a softer entry point.

Barcelona already has standalone studios that cover pieces of this mix without the retreat wrapper. The Flow Lab Barcelona says it has classes suitable for experienced pole dancers, charges a 50-euro enrollment fee on memberships and sells class packs valid for 120 days. Pole Dance Factory Barcelona markets itself simply as “Your Pole Dance studio in Barcelona,” while Hot Yoga Barcelona says more than half of its classes are in English and its team is international. Against that backdrop, Barcelona Yoga & Pole Camp is selling something different: one curated week, one studio base and one social rhythm around pole and yoga instead of separate drop-ins.

For Barcelona’s boutique fitness scene, that puts the camp squarely in the overlap between specialist training and wellness tourism. It looks built for people who want a retreat frame, named instructors and a full movement schedule, not just a single class on a studio timetable.
