LAMRIM YOGA IN EL PUERTO DE SANTA MARÍA
WHAT IS A CLASS LIKE?
LamRim Yoga classes last approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes, depending on how the final space for dialogue and reflection unfolds.
Each session is designed as a complete practice journey that integrates yoga, meditation and philosophical reflection, based on the principles of the Lam Rim, the “gradual path” of Tibetan Buddhism.
The aim is to bring into the body, and through the body, the classical teachings of Tibetan Buddhism that lead us towards our best self and help us let go of the suffering we create for ourselves with our own thoughts and emotions.
STRUCTURE OF LAMRIM YOGA CLASSES
Every class includes the following elements:
1. Lam Rim reflection theme
Each class is built around a specific Lam Rim theme, which acts as the guiding thread of the practice. This approach invites reflection on the mind, daily life and the development of compassion while we practise yoga.
2. Guided yoga practice
Classes are Vinyasa Yoga. The practice is shaped by the philosophical theme of the day, integrating mindful movement, breath and present-moment awareness. The body becomes a support for an experiential understanding of the theme.
3. Guided meditation
The session continues with a guided meditation on the same theme, helping to internalise the experience and develop observation of the mind from a place of calm and presence.
4. Relaxation and integration
We close with a deep relaxation that integrates the physical, mental and meditative practice, consolidating the experience of the class.
5. Dialogue and questions
The last 15 minutes of the class are an open space for dialogue, where participants can ask questions, share experiences and reflect on the theme of the session.
WHO IS THIS PRACTICE FOR?
LamRim Yoga is for people who want to go beyond a purely physical yoga practice and wish to bring yoga, meditation and personal development into their everyday life.
It suits both experienced practitioners and people coming to meditation for the first time, always with openness, curiosity and commitment to the inner process.
You don't need an advanced level of yoga, but you do need a willingness to reflect, pay attention and work with the mind as the heart of the practice.
If you feel this yoga is for you, book your class. Classes are on Wednesdays, from September to June.
