Introducing the Mallorca BJJ and Yoga Festival 2024 - Spring Edition. While this event differs slightly from our Fall edition, the format remains exactly the same. We will offer at least four seminar-only BJJ classes, including three open mats, and four to five yoga/meditation classes per day, each offering various styles for you to choose from. In addition to these, we will continue to provide the popular Wim Hof ice plunge, breathwork sessions, Cacao sessions, lectures, and more, all for you to enjoy in this unique barefoot experience.

Here are some key advantages of the Spring edition compared to the  October Fall event:

1. Affordability: The Spring edition will be more budget-friendly than our October event. We have chosen a charming 4-star boutique hotel,  the H10 Blue Mar, which comfortably accommodates no more than 150 guests, in contrast to the 200 guests during the Fall event.
2. Family-Friendly: We are thrilled to announce that kids are welcome at the Spring edition! To make it even more convenient for parents, we'll have a kids camp/club on the beach, running most of the day. This way, parents can fully enjoy the festival while their children take part in an adventurous BJJ and Yoga camp. No phones, no screens; we'll ensure the kids have an active day and sleep soundly at night! For more info: https://www.mallorcabjjyogafest.com/2024-spring-family-info
3. Beachfront Venue: The H10 Blue Mar is situated directly on a beautiful, expansive sandy beach, offering ample space for activities. Get ready for a volleyball tournament!
4. Charming Location: The festival will be held in the picturesque village of Camp de Mar, known for one of the most famous restaurants on the island, Illeta Restaurant. This unique eatery sits on a tiny island accessed by a long, narrow wooden bridge and specializes in delectable seafood dishes. Camp de Mar also boasts a variety of restaurants to suit all price ranges, and it's just a 30-minute drive from the airport.

Early April marks the beginning of the holiday season in Mallorca. While water temperatures may be cooler than in October, they are similar to what you'd find in Southern California in August. April also offers three additional hours of sunlight compared to October, with average air temperatures hovering around 23°C.

Instructors: BJJ- Mauricio Gomes, Dan Strauss, Ross Nicholls, Sebastian Brosche, Natalie Day,  Clark Gracie, Jon Thomas.  Yoga Angela Selivanova, Lilia y Peter, Bruno, Jelena Kickass, Sebastian Brosche, Steine Hegre, Helena Rosenthal, Anne-Christin,  Wim Hof Sessions - Luke Wills , Gong- Gongoro,  Forro and Salsa Band 

You can arrive at the festival early, as the hotel will be opening for the season. Your room is likely to be ready upon your arrival. In the rare instance it's not, you can conveniently store your bags behind the front desk. Meanwhile, take the opportunity to explore the hotel, visit the beach, unwind at the spa, enjoy the pool, or participate in some of the few classes we have scheduled for check-in day. These classes may include an After Travel Yoga Class and a BJJ open mat session.

During the middle three days, the festival follows a consistent format. The festivities kick off as early as 6:00 AM with sessions like the serene Sunrise Cacao experience. If you prefer to sleep in, worry not, as breakfast is served from 7:00 AM, and the first sessions typically start at around 7:45 AM with another window for breakfast between 9:15 and 9:45, which coincides with the next class start time. You can go to breakfast anytime between 7:00-10:00.

Our aim is to schedule most classes in the morning to mid-morning, leaving the warmest part of the day for you to enjoy outdoor activities such as swimming, paddleboarding, free diving, volleyball, ice baths, or simply basking in the sun.

As the sun sets, we continue with more offerings, including another BJJ class, engaging lectures, dance sessions, and the soothing sounds of the gong, should you be inclined to try it. For lunch and dinner, you have the flexibility to choose your own dining adventures during these middle three days. You can explore the charming village of Camp de Mar, venture into Palma (just 30 minutes away), or opt to dine at the hotel restaurant.

In most cases, by the end of the day, participants find themselves ready for an early night's rest. It's that satisfying, post-workout fatigue that signals you've thoroughly enjoyed your day. So, get some well-deserved sleep; after all, you're on holiday.

On the last full day of the event, seminars commence at 6:00 AM but conclude around 6:00 PM. This is because we'll be preparing for our grand dinner fiesta featuring a live salsa band, starting at 7:30 PM. In the past, our opening night has typically been a quieter affair. However, it's safe to say that by this point in the festival, most guests have had the chance to get to know one another, and the atmosphere tends to shift into a more festive and celebratory mood. Enjoy!

Time to check out.  If your flight leaves later please feel free to leave your bags and hang out at the festival.  We have an early morning yoga class, and for BJJ the last open mat.
