    Description

    I’m Justyna (42) from Poland, living in sunny Barcelona with my daughter Nina (6) — she’s creative, energetic, curious, and loves to learn! 💛

    This year, I completed my 200-hour Multistyle Yoga Teacher Training in Sri Lanka and my 300-hour Yoga Teacher Training in Rishikesh, India. I’ve dedicated myself fully to yoga and am building a new online wellness brand from home.

    Our home will soon have its own small yoga studio for 2–3 people 🧘‍♀️ — a space to practice daily, record videos, and create. I’ve worked online with my own marketing clients since 2010, and now I’m combining this experience with my life as a dedicated yogi.

    We’re looking for another yogi (female) to join our household from 1 October – 20 December 2024 (with the possibility to return Jan–June 2025).

    ✨ About You
    You bring warmth, organisation, and ideally a love for yoga or wellness. You can make Nina’s free time both fun and enriching. She learns best through play and hands-on activities like:
    🗺 Geography with puzzle maps
    🫀 Anatomy
    🗣 Languages

    We’d love you to enjoy:
    🏃‍♀️ Sports and active games
    🚶‍♀️ Relaxing walks
    📚 Reading together
    🥣 Cooking or baking
    🎨 Manual/creative projects

    🛠 Your Main Help
    Keeping our home tidy 🧹 (cleaning, laundry, groceries)

    Occasional school runs 🏫 and weekend support (max. 4h blocks)

    💡 Bonus points if you’re happy to practice yoga together or share your skills in wellness, creativity, or mindful living.

    🌿 What We Offer
    Private room + all meals included

    Plenty of free time while Nina is at school + 3–4 evenings a week free

    A calm, healthy, inspiring home with daily yoga possibilities

    Trips to the beach 🏖, occasional travel, and cultural activities 🎭

    Great location: 15 min to the city centre, 30 min to the beach by public transport

    Travel flexibility — occasional breaks to visit other cities or take short trips

    Option to join our yoga and wellness projects if you’re interested in creating content together

    We value connection, kindness, and shared experiences — if you’re warm, proactive, and love kids, you’ll feel at home here 💛

    📩 How to Apply
    Please copy & paste these questions into your message and answer them:

    1️⃣ Can you stay with us from October 1st to December 20th, 2025?
    2️⃣ How would you describe your lifestyle?
    3️⃣ Are you comfortable with household tasks (cleaning, cooking simple meals, grocery shopping, school pick-ups)?
    4️⃣ Nina needs support with writing and learning — what can you offer in this area?
    5️⃣ Would you like to learn yoga? Have you practiced before?
    6️⃣ What do you plan to do in your free time in Barcelona?
    7️⃣ Are you a well-organised person who can finish tasks independently?

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Staying with us in Barcelona offers a unique chance to immerse yourself in a yogic and mindful lifestyle while living in one of Europe’s most vibrant cities. Our home is calm, warm, and inspiring — a place where you can recharge, learn, and grow.

    You’ll have the opportunity to:

    Deepen your connection with yoga and wellness — join my daily practice, explore different styles, and share your own.

    Learn about mindful living: balancing work, self-care, and family life with presence and intention.

    Experience Barcelona beyond the tourist path — parks of Montjuïc, hidden beaches, local markets, and nature getaways.

    Practice or improve your English and Spanish in an open, friendly environment.

    Discover plant-based, wholesome cooking and how to prepare healthy meals in an easy, enjoyable way.

    Join in on weekend camping trips, beach days, or nature walks, depending on the season and our plans.

    This is more than just a place to stay — it’s an invitation to slow down, share, learn, and co-create a nurturing space together.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    One of the treasures of our neighbourhood is the parks of Montjuïc — a green paradise just a short walk from our home. It’s the perfect place for walking, running, yoga in nature, or simply enjoying a peaceful moment with stunning city and sea views.

    Montjuïc is full of hidden gardens, shady pine forests, and scenic paths, making it easy to escape the city buzz without leaving Barcelona. Along the way, you’ll find inspiring spots for meditation, outdoor exercise, or picnics.

    Scattered around the area are also beautiful public libraries — bright, quiet, and welcoming spaces where you can read, study, or work on personal projects. Some even have outdoor terraces so you can enjoy the sunshine while you read.

    For anyone who loves nature, movement, and calm spaces, Montjuïc will quickly become your favourite place in the city.
