Navakaraṇa is a method of personal self-transformation, created by Dario Calvaruso, that works on the strength, control and flexibility of both body and mind.
The Navakaraṇa experience combines 3 main elements: sound, movement and breath, and is made up of 2 types of practice: Navakaraṇa Vinyāsa, a dynamic practice that builds body awareness, strength and flexibility, and Navakaraṇa Sui Zen, the most holistic part of the method, slower but very useful for mobilising, opening and stretching.
The sequences of both practices are compositions of movements and postures that the teacher introduces progressively, so every student can tailor the practice to their own level.
Bronsa is the only Navakaraṇa Academy in Catalonia with Alumni teachers, which means they are authorised to train new teachers of the method.
THE NAVAKARAṆA METHOD
01
Vinyāsa essentials
In this class we learn the foundations of Navakaraṇa. Ideal for beginners and for practitioners of other methods. A basic class to understand the structure of the practice, start building body awareness, strength and flexibility, and get familiar with the tempo, the specific instructions given in class and the skills needed to flow through a sequence.
De-Construction
A class where we work on part of one of the vinyāsa sequences to learn how to activate and place the body in each movement, with all the details and variations for every level. We often also work on a specific movement: its anatomical focus, energy and activation.
A class to learn the series and understand the structure of the method, perfect for progressing in your practice.
02
Multilevel inversions
A multilevel class where we work on the inversions you want to improve: headstands or handstands/pincha mayura. The focus changes from class to class, but in these classes we learn to activate, prepare and warm up the body, and we teach alignment, strength and awareness exercises to progress in inversions.
Multilevel flexibility
The aim of these classes is to go deeper into each posture and understand its focus, gradually and effectively, preventing injuries.
In these classes we work by understanding the activations and progressively moving towards the more complex movements found in the practice, always with variations for everyone.
03
Navakaraṇa vinyāsa
An intense and dynamic practice of one of the 12 series of the Navakaraṇa method, working on body awareness, strength and flexibility.
This class has FEWER INSTRUCTIONS, but the variations each practitioner needs are indicated.
Navakaraṇa Sui Zen
New moon classes where we practise one of the 2 series of the most restorative part of the method. We use only seated postures, working deeply on the mobility and flexibility of the whole body.
The classes have an introspective character, focusing on breath and mental presence. This practice is multilevel and complements Navakaraṇa Vinyāsa, but it is also very suitable for people with limited mobility or injuries.
Carrer del Consell de Cent, 159
Bronsa is located in the Fàbrica Lehmann in Barcelona, a special place with a cobbled central courtyard, palm trees and an old chimney, home to several workshops and studios of independent professionals. We are lucky that the place where we teach and practise Navakaraṇa is a true oasis of calm in itself.
It is a unique, quiet space in the city centre where you can practise Navakaraṇa Vinyāsa Yoga in a safe and transformative way. We provide mats, blocks and straps, which we clean after every practice, so you don’t need to worry about bringing your own props.

OUR TEAM
OUR
Marta and Andrea met on a Navakaraṇa method training in Barcelona and connected through their way of seeing life, being at similar moments in their lives, and their way of understanding the practice and passing it on. After starting out teaching their friends and also at Ma.na Yoga Loft, the first Navakaraṇa academy in Europe, where they met Alba, they decided to start their own project so they could teach with humility and love for the practice, from a place where they feel comfortable and full of energy.
In their classes, workshops and retreats they like to teach in a very technical yet accessible and down-to-earth way, paying special attention to making sure everyone who wants to learn can do so effectively, starting from an understanding of the basics.
Their hallmark is helping practitioners internalise the instructions and steps progressively, making sure students understand the activations, and they stress that improving is possible regardless of age, fitness or previous experience.
Their goal is to empower their students to feel capable of leading their own transformation, just as they did. They are driven by sharing that if they were able to connect with their bodies and minds and achieve unexpected things, anyone can, through this method that changed their lives.
TEAM
Marta Alarcon
She combines her work as an architect with the classes she has been teaching since 2020. A yoga practitioner for more than 7 years, she began training after the lockdown, when she found the time to reconnect with her practice and fall in love with the unique and special method that is Navakaraṇa. She has trained with Dario Calvaruso, the creator of the method, and Alessandra Oram, her teacher in Barcelona, completing all 5 modules of the full method training.
She currently teaches at Bronsa Studio, the studio she co-owns.
Andrea de los Mozos
After practising Ashtanga Mysore for 5 years, Andrea discovered the Navakaraṇa method and something changed after her first class: the feeling of having found something new, fresh and very powerful at just the right moment led her to devote her daily practice entirely to this method.
After a few months of practice, she decided to train as a teacher, and she now combines her Navakaraṇa Vinyasa and Handstand classes with her work as a fashion designer.
Trained by Alessandra Oram, her teacher in Barcelona, and Dario Calvaruso, the creator of the method, Andrea teaches at Bronsa Studio, the studio she opened with Marta in Barcelona’s Eixample.
Alba Morillas
A scientist trained in molecular biology and a navakarani at heart. Alba combines her career in the lab with teaching Navakaraṇa. She discovered the method in 2021, after practising other sports and different styles of yoga, and what struck her most from the start was how well thought-out the practice was, with a clear and coherent structure.
She had always been good at sports, but Navakaraṇa was a challenge… and that is exactly what hooked her — that, and being extremely disciplined and stubborn…
She completed M1 in 2024 and graduated from M2 in 2025, and although at first she didn’t plan to teach, teaching came naturally. First by sharing sessions with her lab colleagues and later at BRONSA, alongside Marta and Andrea, her first teachers, even before the studio itself existed.
