Moving to a new country is a rollercoaster—one filled with excitement, challenges, and moments of self-discovery. Judith knows this all too well; she vividly remembers stepping off the plane in New York City, heart pounding, suitcase in hand, wondering what this new chapter had in store for her.
Judith understands this first-hand; when she first arrived in New York City, she felt the whirlwind of emotions that come with navigating a new culture, language, and lifestyle. It was yoga that became her anchor, offering her a sense of stability and connection in a foreign land.
As an expat herself and someone who works daily with expats from around the world, she deeply understands the challenges of adapting to a new environment. This makes her uniquely equipped to guide her students through their own expat journey, using yoga as a tool for balance and connection.
For expats in Barcelona, Ibiza, Europe or beyond, there’s one person you should keep in mind: Judith Secanell.
Judith’s story is one of transformation and passion, shaped by her own experience as an expat. With a background in acting and dance, she first discovered yoga in New York City, where movement and mindfulness became her foundation.
She went on to earn internationally recognised certifications in both Yoga and Pilates, blending her expertise into a practice that is both powerful and fluid. Now, she teaches in some of Barcelona’s most elite studios: Juno House & Serotonin Studio, and its part of Oysho’s Trainer Team.
Beyond local classes, she is also a trainer for yoga teacher formations offered internationally through YogaWeeks, hosting immersive retreats in Ibiza that bring together students from all over the world.
For expats seeking personalised yoga sessions, Judith offers private, in-home classes in Barcelona and Ibiza, bringing her deep understanding of the expat experience into her teaching. Her own journey as an expat allows her to connect with her students on a profound level, making her an ideal guide for those looking to find balance and grounding in their new environment. Whether you’re a busy professional, a parent balancing life abroad, or someone who simply prefers one-on-one guidance, her sessions cater to all levels, ensuring a customised approach to help you feel at home in your body while living abroad.
If you’re always on the move, you can still practice with Judith from anywhere in the world. She collaborates as a trainer on the online platform XLY Studio, founded by renowned yogi Xuan Lan. This allows expats to stay connected to their practice, no matter where life takes them.
One of the most unique aspects of Judith’s offerings is her wedding yoga experience. Picture this: a breathtaking venue, the soft morning sun rising over the canals of Venice, and a gentle yoga session designed to bring love, serenity, and balance before one of the most important moments of your life.
Judith specialises in “Infinite Love Ceremonies,” a beautiful and growing trend among luxury weddings. Imagine a yoga session designed to ground you, centre your heart, and fill the air with love before you step into one of the most unforgettable moments of your life. These intimate sessions, either before or after the ceremony, are tailored to calm pre-wedding nerves and create a sacred space for couples and their closest loved ones. Whether in Barcelona, Ibiza, or anywhere in Europe, this is an experience that takes weddings to another level.
For expats looking to deepen their yoga journey in Europe, Judith is more than just a teacher—she’s a guide, a fellow expat, and someone who truly understands the ups and downs of life abroad. Whether you prefer an intimate in-home session, an energising studio class, or an online practice that fits your nomadic lifestyle, she has an option tailored just for you.
