The Natural Yogi

The Natural Yogi offers spring, summer and fall classes in the Parque del Buen Retiro. There’s nothing better than stretching and strengthening your core as birds chirp and the wind blows through your hair. What’s more, you don’t have to worry about not understanding Spanish instructions, as the classes are taught in English. Founded by Eliza Coolsma, the focus of these Vinyasa classes is on energy building, flow and movement. She offers options for beginners, advanced practitioners and even prenatal yoga for those expecting a little one. In the winter, classes are held in a charming little studio in the neighborhood of Malasaña. Eliza emits a sense of calm that makes you feel safe and well looked-after, and luckily she has a YouTube channel, so once you leave Madrid you can still do her classes at home.
