Mindfulme — Ciutat Vella, Spain

Mindfulness training studio in Barcelona's Ciutat Vella, teaching attention and stress reduction

Mindfulme operates from Ciutat Vella, Barcelona's historic quarter, as a mindfulness training studio offering both in-person and online instruction. The studio's curriculum centers on mindfulness—an attention-training practice developed in 1979 by Jon Kabat-Zinn at the University of Massachusetts to provide practical tools for people experiencing stress and anxiety. That original training became a gold standard among psychologists and neuroscientists due to its measurable results in improving wellbeing and life satisfaction. The studio is led by Ania Savina, an accredited mindfulness instructor and certified teacher of the MBSR (Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction) program from the University of Massachusetts. Savina brings additional training in Nonviolent Communication from the Institut Gestalt in Spain and holds a postgraduate degree in Psychology and Counseling from the University of California, Berkeley. Mindfulme's approach addresses mindfulness across multiple life domains. The practice is framed as a tool for managing stress and anxiety by training attention to remain present rather than caught in worry about the future. Participants report effects including better sleep quality and physical health, reduced depression and anxiety, and improved self-esteem and life satisfaction. The studio emphasizes mindfulness in everyday life—relationships, work performance, and emotional regulation—with research from the University of Massachusetts, Harvard Medical School, and Oxford University cited as evidence of the practice's efficacy. The studio offers presencial (in-person) courses, online courses, workshops, and retreats. Participants describe the experience as practical and rich in content, covering emotion management, stress management, and time organization. The studio positions mindfulness training as a means to live life with greater appreciation, satisfaction, and health.
