COLOMBIA: ESSENCE & ANCESTRALITY
A Wellness Journey from Medellín to the Caribbean Beaches.
Why Colombia? Much more than a destination, Colombia is a vibration. It is the land of magical realism, where the deep jungle meets the turquoise sea and the energy of the Antioquia mountains invites us to be reborn. In this 10 or 14-day journey, designed to take advantage of the December holidays, we will walk a path of discovery, inner and community connection, and immense joy. From the urban transformation of Medellín to the absolute peace of Tayrona Park, finishing with the colonial charm of Cartagena.
Why a Wellness Trip? Because this journey will be a true immersion featuring movement, nature, and a deep connection with Latin culture and essence.

About
Sofia Bichão
BBody Barre was born from something that has been a part of me for as long as I can remember. I took my first ballet class at the age of 3, and the passion for dance has stayed with me ever since. I graduated in dance, working as a dancer and teacher, and years later, recognizing the importance of body-mind work, I became certified in yoga. In the same vein, understanding the importance of working on the mind to handle daily stress, I also completed a course in mindfulness techniques. Throughout this journey, and with a degree in marketing along the way, I worked in the corporate world for 10 years while teaching Ballet, Contemporary Dance, and later, Barre Body in parallel. In 2020, I officially created the BBody Barre method, with various types of classes that offer a complete and effective body and mind workout, aiming to help all my students achieve their perfect lifestyle, not “perfect” in the true sense of the word, but aligned with who we are individually. After 4 years of the digital studio, still in operation, and the Teachers Training program (training the method to other teachers), in 2024 I decided to start retreats, helping others in a more direct and personalized way with all the tools I have.
