OUR PHILOSOPHY
We host a space where you are welcome and important because your blueprint creates an imprint. At Living Room, a teacher is someone who shares, contributes and creates dialogue. Together we create ripples. Here one can allow the mind to be undressed, dare to not know, be in togetherness and respect ourselves and others. Reflect to understand, to create variety, curiosity and references. Explore, Evolve, Live.
ABOUT THE SPACE
Living Room is a world of magic soulfully put into a 140 sqm ground floor locale in the quirky Palma neighbourhood of Santa Catalina. We have a 60 sqm yoga room, that can be used for anything from theatre rehearsals, music, dance and talks. Further in, there is a Ceramic room with 4 wheels that can hold 8-10 people. Our Workshop Room can hold 10 people and has a kitchen adjoined, equipped with an induction hob, oven, dishwasher etc. On top of this, we also have a proper living room, of course!
TEACHERS
You know that teacher you had in school, the one you talk to your kids about because they were so inspiring and engaging? The one that was loved by all the students for his/her magical dedication to sharing..? We do! And when we look at the team of teachers we have gathered to share here at Living Room, we are extraordinarily proud they are with us.
