Pause for a Moment, yoga class with Carlos L'Abbate
We are happy to invite you to our next session from the yoga class series entitled Pause for a Moment with Carlos L'Abbate, hosted by Anca Poterasu Gallery.
We aim to create a quiet space for introspection and focus on one's mind and body under the guidance of a truly skilled teacher of mindfulness, yoga, and meditation.
Our classes will be held every Thursday from 19:00 at Anca Poterasu Gallery, on Popa Soare 26 street in Bucharest. Once you arrive at the location, walk to the back of the garden and take the stairs up to the space above the gallery. Parking can be a bit tricky in the area, so keep that in mind as you make your way here. Our neighborhood is quiet and nice, making it ideal for biking or walking.
It's a nice and quiet, so we encourage taking biking or walking towards here.
Our classes cost 70 lei per session. If you prefer a monthly plan, you can get it for 250 lei instead of paying per session. To secure your spot, please make the payment in advance via Revolut @carlos35ox.

About Carlos
Born in Argentina, Carlos L’Abbate was a primary school teacher in his early twenties, and dedicated the better part of his youth to working with homeless children and older people. These experiences brought about many questions about our relationship to life and death, about the meaning of life and the truth of our existence. In 1989, he left Buenos Aires and began to search for new understandings and responses to these questions. He traveled extensively and during this period, Carlos followed several spiritual paths as well as studied numerous techniques (in formal and informal contexts) connected to the body and mind, in addition to learning the fundaments to art and philosophy, psychology and health. This combined knowledge and experience makes Carlos’s work a really special and unique practice, one that can take a person to the recognition of his/her interconnectedness with all that is.
