I have seen flyers on bulletin boards in albergues offering yoga. I don't know how consistently they are available. I have seen many pilgrims doing yoga, so you mind find others along the way and not need classes.
 
Thanks for that. Plenty of time to see what's going on. Not going til April. But now that my flights are booked I'm all about the planning
 
3rd Edition. More content, training & pack guides avoid common mistakes, bed bugs etc
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
Casa Verde in Hospital de Orbigo has a yoga class in the evening before supper. Highly recommend!
Ah brilliant. Thank you

I completed the Frances in June and unsuccessfully searched for a yoga class. I just ended up practicing in albergues, plazas, etc., of course without a mat.
 
Wife was constantly on the lookout for yoga, but the closest she came was an albergue with a yoga room but no instructor. We met a traveling yoga instructor who said he was hosting evening sessions wherever he stopped, but we never met up with him again.
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.

Lovely albergue in a pretty grim area, just off the main road as it is, and even as a non-vegetarian I thorughly enjoyed the home grown, meat free meal. the yoga class was good, though for someone who hasn't done it in a long time pretty full on.

A bit harsh! It is near a supermercado and several restaurants. "Downtown" is only about a five minute walk away. I know "grim" is in the eyes of the beholder, but the albergues, all of them, are on a busier highway in San Martin, probably making them grim as well.;)

You're right @falcon269 , perhaps not beautiful would be closer to accurate. It just came as a surprise to find such a nice albergue next(ish) to a busy main road junction.
 
In case you are thinking about walking across the Pyrenees on the Camino Frances this year and resting your tired feet at the Albergue in Roncesvalles, I am delighted to announce that hospitalera Zen Librarian will be offering daily donativo "Yoga for Pilgrims" sessions again between 31 May and 13 June 2019.
