**Yin Yoga in Poble Sec, Barcelona – Weekly Classes in English with Julia** 🧘🏼‍♀️ **When:** Every Monday \| 7:00 – 8:30 PM **Where:** Next to Metro - Poble Sec, Barcelona ✨ **What to expect:** A calm, guided practice where you slow down, reconnect with your body, and leave the week behind. No pressure, no experience needed — just you, your mat, and a little time for yourself. ✨ **What is Yin Yoga — and why try it?** Most movement we know is active: muscles working, pace picking up. Yin Yoga is the opposite. You settle into a position, let your muscles soften, and simply stay — for a few minutes at a time. What happens in that stillness is surprisingly profound. This practice isn't about flexibility goals or perfect poses. It's an invitation to notice what your body actually needs in this moment — to listen instead of push, to meet your limits with curiosity instead of force. What you might take home: a quieter mind, a body that feels more like yours again, and a little more ease in your week. 🧘 Suitable for all levels — no experience needed. Mats and props provided. ✨ **Class Pricing (starting December):** • Drop-in: 17€ • 5-Class Pass: 65€ (valid 3 months) • 10-Class Pass: 125€ (valid 5 months) 💳 Payment Bizum, Revolut, Bank Transfer or cash. 📌 **Cancellation Policy:** To keep the group small and intimate, please cancel at least 24 hours before class. Late cancellations or no-shows count as used for pass holders, or the full drop-in fee applies. *If you cancel after 24 hours, you’ll receive a sequence of yin postures to practice at home.* 📞 **Reserve your spot:** +34 617 158 103 - Please reserve your spot via WhatsApp to confirm attendance — even if you've already signed up on Meetup. 😌 I’m happy to answer any questions and help you choose the best option for your practice. Looking forward to practicing with you! Julia 🙏🏼 www.instagram.com/yinyangyulia

Carrer de Pau Claris, 194, L'Eixample, 08037 Barcelona (4th floor) **Talks:** **1\. Topic:** **PHP Fibers: simplifying async code and speeding up development** **Speaker:** [Max Fomichev](https://www.linkedin.com/in/maxim-fomichev/), Infrastructure Engineer at Manychat **About the Talk** We constantly search for creative ways to get maximum out of php, without bringing excessive complexity for our developers daily work. In this speech I'll sum up our way, describe where are we now in a bit, and share how we started to use fibers and asynchronous http requests to speed up both our code writing and execution, while avoiding excessive cognitive load for our developers dealing with "asynchronous" programming. **About the Speaker** Max has decades of experience in IT, primarily focused on programming in PHP and running Unix servers. For the past six years, he has been working at Manychat, a leading chat-marketing platform, where I combine the roles of an Infrastructure Engineer, SRE, and developer, optimizing systems and ensuring reliability. **2\. Topic:** PHP Performance Demystified - Measure, Understand, Optimize **Speaker:** [Volker Dusch](https://www.linkedin.com/in/volker-dusch/), Head Of Engineering at Tideways, PHP 8.5 Release Manager **About the Talk** In this talk, we'll explore options for PHP performance analysis. From understanding how the PHP virtual machine and OPCodes work, to performing your own reliable and meaningful benchmarks, and how to use request profiling using open-source and commercial offerings. You will leave with an overview of the available tools and an understanding of how to use them in your day-to-day. Learning how to spot bottlenecks and optimize them away efficiently and confidently. **About the Speaker** With over 20 years of software development experience, Volker has seen PHP grow and mature from PHP 3, working on long-living custom applications in high-traffic environments. From social networks to medical data processing, he has worked as an engineer, team lead, and Head of Engineering, mostly focusing on PHP, Go, C, JavaScript, HTML/CSS and System Operations. https://phpc.social/@edorian **Thanks to Manychat to host the meetup** – [Learn more](http://%5Bhttps/%5B%5Bmedium.com/manychat-engineering%5D%5D%5D(%5Bmedium.com/manychat-engineering%5D%5D)(%5Bmedium.com/manychat-engineering%5D%5D(medium.com/manychat-engineering%5D))(https:/%5B%5Bmedium.com/manychat-engineering%5D%5D(%5Bmedium.com/manychat-engineering%5D)(%5Bmedium.com/manychat-engineering%5D(medium.com/manychat-engineering)))) about Manychat Engineering – [Careers](http://%5Bhttps/%5B%5Bcareers.manychat.com/%5D%5D%5D(%5Bcareers.manychat.com/%5D%5D)(%5Bcareers.manychat.com/%5D%5D(careers.manychat.com/%5D))(https:/%5B%5Bcareers.manychat.com/%5D%5D(%5Bcareers.manychat.com/%5D)(%5Bcareers.manychat.com/%5D(careers.manychat.com/)))) at Manychat – [Videos](http://%5Bhttps://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIfURI1S1wkA2sVy_AYtJcR_HyBpsTa2d%5D(https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIfURI1S1wkA2sVy_AYtJcR_HyBpsTa2d) "\[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIfURI1S1wkA2sVy_AYtJcR_HyBpsTa2d\](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIfURI1S1wkA2sVy_AYtJcR_HyBpsTa2d)") from the previous meetups

The Fellowship of the Star Schema: Transforming OLTP Data for Power BI One does not simply build reports on OLTP data. Join us on an epic journey from the depths of raw, normalized tables to the shining halls of a well-modeled star schema fit for Power BI greatness. We will demystify the differences between OLTP and OLAP, walk through star schema vs snowflake (and why Power BI has a clear favorite), and show you the compression differences between normalized and columnar storage that will make you never look at an OLTP model the same way again. We will cover the different types of dimensions, when to use them, and how to handle Slowly Changing Dimensions without losing your mind. You will leave knowing exactly how to identify a bad model, how to convert OLTP data into a clean star schema, and how to forge relationships that rule them all. Whether you are a data wizard, a curious hobbit, or somewhere in between, your models will never be the same.

AI is changing how art is made. But when does it stop being your work and start being the machine’s?

We encourage audience participation during this event that will be moderated by Chris Slee. Whether you’re deep in the field or just getting curious, come connect with others building and exploring AI in Columbus. Sponsored by [Transform Labs](https://www.transformlabs.com/services)

This session introduces Squad: an open-source framework for multi-agent orchestration that lets you define teams of AI agents with specific roles, responsibilities, and expertise. We'll progress from Copilot basics to the Copilot CLI, explore how Agents add autonomy, and see how Instructions and Skills let you customize agent behavior. Then, the climax: a live demo where a Squad team of 3 agents (Lead, Developer, Tester) stands up and builds a working application in real-time, showcasing true multi-agent collaboration. Whether you're new to AI or exploring how to scale your use of Copilot, this session will show you what's possible when agents work as a team. **YouTube Link** TBD

**The Data-Driven Brand: Using Analytics to Shape Perception** Can you use analytics to improve tacos? This being CBUSDAW, we think the answer is probably “yes”, but we’re not sure how to implement or test this theory. For our April meetup we’ve got Sara Kear, CMO of Condado Tacos, to investigate this delicious question. Sara will explore how she blends quantitative data and qualitative customer feedback to shape brand positioning and drive business decisions. We all know that marketing and analytics go way beyond attribution. Sara will show how Condado uses customer insights to inform product and pricing strategy. She’ll also highlight how Condado leverages customer feedback at scale to influence operational priorities, positioning marketing as the voice of the customer across the organization. In the last 12 years Condado has gone from one location in Columbus to 52 locations across 10 states, so we’re guessing there’s more to that growth than really good guac (though the guac probably helps). Ultimately, this talk focuses on the intersection of art and science—using data to inform creativity and build a brand that resonates with customers in a measurable way. **About Our Speaker** Sara Kear is Chief Marketing Officer at Condado Tacos, where she oversees brand, restaurant design, menu and pricing strategy, off-premise including catering, and customer data strategy. Since joining in 2021, she has helped grow the brand from 19 to 52 locations while building a data-driven marketing organization focused on loyalty and customer insights. Condado has since been named to the Inc. 5000, recognized as Breakout Retailer by Chain Store Age, and consistently ranked among FastCasual’s Top 100 Movers & Shakers.
