At The Wellbeing Company, we believe in the power of community, movement, and purpose. That’s why we’re thrilled to partner with bsport for Stretch & Connect, a rooftop event in Barcelona on September 26, 2026, from 4:00 to 9:30 PM CEST. This gathering is more than just an evening of Pilates and breathwork—it’s a celebration of collaboration, sustainability, and the shared mission to make the wellness industry stronger and more compassionate.

Why Barcelona? Why Now?

September marks the return of energy to studios across Europe. Members are back, ideas are flowing, and new opportunities are on the horizon. What better time to bring together studio owners, operators, and future founders for an afternoon of connection, learning, and movement?

In partnership with bsport, we’re hosting Stretch & Connect at their stunning Passeig de Gràcia rooftop—a space designed to inspire creativity and conversation. Together, we’re creating an experience that blends Pilates, sound healing, industry insights, and meaningful networking, all while supporting a cause close to our hearts.

What to Expect

This isn’t your average industry event. Here’s what makes Stretch & Connect unique:

1. Movement and Mindfulness

Pilates with Bethan Dando (The Wellbeing Company): Reconnect with your practice and explore new ways to integrate Pilates into your studio’s offerings.
Sound Healing Meditation with Sam Williams (Her Peaceful Place): A session designed to reset your mind and spark inspiration.

2. Industry Insights

Running a studio is about more than great classes—it’s about building a business that lasts. Join us for a practical workshop on key strategies for studio success, covering essential metrics and community-building approaches. The session will focus on what you need to track and forecast to run or launch a successful studio, with content relevant to both pre-launch and established studios.

3. A Cause That Matters

As part of World Wellness Weekend, this workshop supports The Lewis Foundation, a charity providing free gift and support packs to adults undergoing cancer treatment in UK hospitals. 100% of every €25 ticket donation goes directly to their cause, helping to ease the challenges of treatment with practical and comforting items. We’re proud to contribute while fostering connections in the wellness community.

4. Rooftop Networking

Enjoy drinks and conversation on bsport’s rooftop, where you can swap stories, ideas, and strategies with fellow studio owners and operators. Whether you’re an independent studio owner, a boutique franchise operator, or a future founder, this is your chance to learn, grow, and connect.

Who Should Join Us?

This event is designed for:

Studio owners looking to refine their business and deepen their impact.
Future founders actively planning to open a studio—this is your chance to learn from the best and build your network.
Pilates Teachers wanting to gain some industry insights or who are thinking of opening a studio in the future
