Wild Yoga Tribe Podcast Episode #7 – Yoga in Spain with Almudena Laborda Galindo

Welcome to Episode #7 of the Wild Yoga Tribe Podcast! This week, I welcome Almudena Laborda Galindo onto the show. She is a yoga teacher from Spain, who leads international yoga retreats.

Almudena and I are connected through Punyah Yoga in Rishikesh. While we haven’t met in person, we became fast friends online as we are both consider India to be a kind of second home— especially Rishikesh.

Almudena’s passion for India as the root source of yoga is clear. In our conversation, we discuss Almudena’s journey in yoga, her opinions on what yoga in India teaches Western students, and how to honor the essence of yoga, as a teacher, in your yoga classes.

Tell me more about Almudena…

Almudena Laborda Galindo first begun her yoga journey in 2016. She will never forget the pain she was having in every pose and how the 50 years old woman next to her was doing everything so easily. Yet it was the feeling of flying on her way back home after the class and how her mind was so much calmer that made her surrender to the practice of yoga.

At that time, in 2016, she quit her job and started a gap year around the world. It was in her  stop in India, where she did my teacher training, that she realized it was time to go deeper in yoga. She did not have the intention to become a yoga teacher, but only to go deeper in the yogic philosophy and that particular way of living. However, once she took one step in India, it has become my second home. After three years of living here, I still feel that it is helping me so much in my personal and spiritual growth. 

What to expect in Episode #7 of the Wild Yoga Tribe Podcast – Yoga in Spain

Almudena and I kick off the the episode by unraveling her story of how she got started with yoga. While her first few yoga classes were in Spain, she started traveling to Africa to Kenya and Malawi, and then across Asia and took yoga classes along the way. This international beginning to her yoga practice, has continued to be the foundation on which she teaches herself. 

Almudena teaches yoga retreats internationally, with specific focus in Spain, India, and Bali. She teaches primary in Spanish, and translates— or hires a translator— for her students when the yoga retreat or TTC instructors don’t comfortably speak Spanish. Her intention is to create a family, in which students stay connected over the years, well past the completion of their yoga retreat or training. 

Almudena believes that it is the responsibility of the yoga teacher to transmit the spiritual practice of yoga. Teachers who are only taught during yoga teacher training during anatomy, alignment, or asana this is what they are going to transmit. If they are in front of a student in the role of a teacher, then they should go deeper and deeper in this practice. I found that this part of our conversation was the most moving— the responsibilities of a yoga teacher.

We also discuss transcending the physical part of yoga. As Almudena says, “Doing an inversion is nothing.” Flexibility is not the goal of yoga, and Almudena definitely drives that home. Yoga is a tool for connecting the individual self to the superior self, and as a path to self-awareness and realization.

For the skimmers – What’s in the Yoga in Spain episode?

• What it’s like to hold yoga retreats abroad and in Spain
• The asana is the most attractive but it’s not the point of yoga
• What we should seek in yoga is enquiries: Who am I? What is my purpose?
• The role of the teacher is to go deeper and deeper into the practice
• Yoga is tool to know about ourselves
• Learning an inversion is nothing, being flexible is nothing
• We are not independent individuals, we are part of the whole system, we are all connected as one
• Transcend the physical part of yoga, and you will realize that yoga is more relevant in our daily life

Favorite Quote from Almudena Laborda Galindo 

“Students are missing the true essence of yoga. What we should seek in yoga is enquiries or questions— Who am I? What is my purpose in this life? At the end, yoga is to know ourselves. Maybe in the western society, the lifestyle that they are carrying there, they don’t have time to stop and have these kind of questions. If the yoga teachers, in 50 or 60 minutes, don’t give their students a chance to think and to go deeper in their personal growth or spiritual growth, then for me it’s just like pilates or another activity in the gym. I feel hurt when teachers do this kind of teaching for yoga.”

Wild Yoga Tribe Podcast Episode #7 – Yoga in Spain with Almudena Laborda Galindo

Lily: 00:00:06

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Wild Yoga Tribe Podcast. I’m your host Lily Allen Duenas. Together we’ll talk about the world of yoga and we’ll talk to people from around the world. Join us for authentic conversations about the global yoga ecosystem, and we’ll cover yoga philosophies and methodologies, along the way. Inhale, exhale, we’re about to dive in.

 

Lily: 00:00:40

Welcome, welcome, welcome to episode seven of the Wild Yoga Tribe Podcast. Today I am joined with a wonderful friend, Almudena Laborda Galindo. She’s from Spain, and I met her at Punyah Yoga. We actually, it’s crazy. I don’t think we’ve ever actually met face to face but I feel like I know her so well I say she’s my friend she feels like a friend because she’s works very in close contact with Punyah Yoga and we both consider that one of our homes in Rishikesh so I’m really honored that she took some time to join me today for this episode. So to give us a little bit of background on on the Almudena, she is a yoga teacher from Spain as I said, she first began her yoga journey in 2016 and she quit her job and travel the world, and it was in her first stop, or her stop in India where she did her yoga teacher training. She didn’t have any intention of actually becoming a yoga teacher, but she just wanted to go deeper into the philosophy and into the way of living in the yogic tradition. But from the moment she took one step in India, it has become a second home for her and I can definitely relate to that. So I’m really excited for our conversation today, I have a feeling it will be awesome so thank you so much Almudena for joining me today.

 

Almudena: 00:02:03

Hello, Lily. Thank you so much for thinking of me as a yoga teacher in Spain. So it’s an honor and I’m very, very, very happy to be here today with you. Actually, yes we haven’t met in person and I also feel like we know each other like those friends.

 

 

 

But could you share a little bit more about what drew you to go and what actually made you want to try yoga, for the first time?

 

Lily: 00:02:22

Oh, I am so happy to hear that. So I would like to ask, I hinted in your bio about how you first got started in yoga. But could you share a little bit more about what drew you to go and what actually made you want to try yoga, for the first time?

 

Almudena: 00:02:37

Yes, definitely. Like you said, it was in 2016. It was in my hometown in the south of Spain, and I was having a kind of uncertain time in my life in terms of career as you said. That year I quit my job to travel and to experience new things around the world. So I heard about yoga and the feeling that you can get after class to calm your mind, relax and not be much interested in the physical aspect but just to settle my mind a little bit, and actually it was like this. My first class. It was literally, that it was kind of embarrassing because I had pain in every aspect in every pose that we were performing and then the woman next to me, who was 50 years old, was doing everything with a lot of flexibility, but I didn’t want to quit. Because at the end of the class on the way back home, I was having this feeling of flying… you know like my mind was calm, all the stress that I was carrying before the class, it went. So that feeling helped me to keep with this practice. And as I said, that year I started my gap year to travel around the world, and I experienced yoga in every country in every country to, like, in Bali in Indonesia in Africa a few few countries I was doing, taking no peeking some of yoga experience from many many teacher and many many different places so like this, this was my beginning in this journey.

 

Lily: 00:04:38

Wow I didn’t actually realize that your beginning of yoga was an international beginning, that it sounds like you just took a couple classes in Spain, was it for just a few months and then going abroad?

 

Almudena: 00:04:50

Yes, yes it was like this. The beginning in Spain was very short, and I kept doing it during my trips and in my travels around the world. So yeah, it was a nice experience. I was taking classes in English with a foreigner teacher; foreigner classmate, they’re around and meeting a lot of people. It was very very very nice.

 

Lily: 00:05:19

That’s wonderful, and I love it when I’m teaching abroad. When a new student who is really new to yoga, or has never tried yoga comes to one of my classes. I always get really excited but I get to be a person to introduce them to the practice, so do you get that feeling too because I know you teach in other countries as well like you’re living in India right now. So I know of course with COVID, Almudena that we don’t have so many students in person. But before COVID, were you noticing that too that when new students would come to your class, you would feel this extra surge of excitement? 

 

Almudena: 00:05:51

Yeah, definitely. I think these are both direction as you said, when you are a student for your first classes, you also; you never forget these teachers, those who are giving you part of the knowledge in Asana practice or in meditation or in their personal life, how would yoga impacting their life and they said all these to you. I think we, you are on the other side when you teach to newer students, what is that you know saying this practice. The energy that we share that we exchange is what I think, for them it’s a kind of a nice experience but for the teacher it’s also very rewarding, to have this in this relationship with, with the students. So yeah, now it’s true that with the pandemic is not very easy to do in person. Online is now the new way but although it’s not my favorite way but it still is still we can monitor. It’s also very very nice being seen in this practice.

 

Lily: 00:07:12

So on the day that you do a lot of yoga retreats or you host them and hold retreats in India, with students from around the world or from Spain. Can you tell our listeners a little bit more about your yoga retreats or what they’re like because I think maybe a lot of people haven’t gone on a yoga retreat and wonder what actually happens?

Yoga Retreats in Rishikesh

 

Almudena: 00:07:35

Yeah, actually I started doing yoga retreats in India directly abroad, you know, in Kerala and Rishikesh. It was a bigger challenge because hosting retreats in a different country, you have to manage many things in a different culture. But the living yoga here, and learning everything from the root from the land of yoga, I felt that everyone should have. Also, this experience so I directly went for this kind of retreats in India to offer them to my students and everyone that would like to come to have these, these kinds of retreats. Not only to know about more Asana, but I think the philosophical and spiritual part from the, from my teacher or gurus or it could be a greater, a great experience for a loved one. And also immersed in the culture of India, the food and the yogic lifestyle. I think it’s easier if you are in the country. But, yeah, after doing retreats here in India, people who cannot come also, all the way here. We started doing in in Spain, in the south of Spain in Albania we co hosting with yoga teachers that are also very close to me, and so it’s at the end, the energy, the feelings, the vibes among all the people in the group, it’s, it’s amazing what you create. This kind of yoga is for holidays because it’s not as intense as TTC. But we wanted maybe in India for one week 10 days to have this experience of what a student is feeling in a TTC, but in 10 days. So it’s this kind of situation or experience where you share with many people, all of them willing to know more about yoga and all of them serving the same willing to learn the same themes and serving in behalf of the common themes level or the body want to learn in life, about themselves, you know like serving. All these things which are a little difficult to know in Western countries or with Western people to find similarities in this lifestyle.

 

Lily: 00:10:22

And as you said, what I think is so special about doing a yoga retreat or a yoga teacher training course as well, or any continuing education is that the people you are surrounded with are are so beautiful and have such great intentions and they’re drawn to the same type of experience that you are, so you will have kind of this deeper connection. And it certainly is something that doesn’t end the minute the course or the retreat is over at something that continues on. It’s a beautiful community or a space to form that community.

 

The community created at a yoga retreat or a yoga teacher training course 

 

 

Almudena: 00:11:00

Yes, definitely. What you’re saying at the end is, it doesn’t end only in these retreats, their relationship there. We always say that we like to create a family, among all of us, among all the students that come to our retreats or teacher training. We want to create this relationship that can keep a long life, like anything they need, we are here, or even any extra course or course or workshop that we are offering. They are always willing to join and learn more and more. So is what you said, we like to create, we want to create this family.

 

What is yoga like in Spain?

 

Lily: 00:11:45

So, you have said that you run some yoga retreats in Spain as well as in Kerala and Rishikesh. I would love to hear a little bit more about what yoga in Spain is like, is it popular, do a lot of people practice yoga, or is it only in big cities? I would love to hear more about yoga in Spain.

 

Almudena: 00:12:07

Well yoga in Spain is quite, quite popular. It was before the pandemic started. But I think like, maybe everywhere with this pandemic when everything is started. People joined online to these kinds of classes, meditation, pranayama. Even with older family members with kids. So it’s now that online is still there, yoga is becoming more and more popular in Spain, and I think everywhere, it’s, it’s like the soul. Yeah, there you can find many many kinds of classes, but I would say that it’s mainly focused on this Asana practice and maybe a little bit of meditation. But as I feel it’s true that I’ve not been in Spain for a long time, but I feel even from here in social media, where all these people, the yoga community that we follow. It’s mostly focused on the physical part. So for me it’s, it’s becoming popular but also, how do I say, they are not showing the true essence of yoga or at least what we learn from here in India. But I hope that maybe slowly, slowly people would like to know deeper about the philosophy of yoga and they, if they kind of started being interested in coming also to India, and learn all these things so that they can explore what is the real yoga, it’s real meaning.

 

Lily: 00:14:10

That was great, because I think that a lot of the questions that would be coming up if someone heard you say that is, what is the real essence of yoga, or what’s missing in terms of the philosophies, or the the tradition, because I do agree with you Almudena that it’s the Asana practice that’s the most popular across the world, and that we see maybe every single day. And Asana on Instagram or a social media site it’s really what is being presented to us constantly as the as the signature of yoga is the Asana, is what I think the media and the global community is kind of showing to the public, but what do you think is the essence of yoga, and what’s missing from how the media is portraying it?

 

What do you think is the essence of yoga?

 

Almudena: 00:15:07

Yeah, I think it’s maybe, as you said, the most visible part of noise makes a Yoga very attractive, the Asana or the postures. And we cannot deny this is also part of yoga but it’s not everything in yoga. And is huge, is huge, the knowledge of the word yoga, what is yoga about. But yeah, I think only those who… as I said, who has traveled to the root of this practice to India to this land, can be able to share in in their classes to their students, all these aspects of Tanti mantra in the opening of the class or the importance of Pranayama, or I don’t know, like, different, different parts that a yoga class and in its instructors should have. Yeah, you don’t transmit also the philosophical and spiritual part in advance at least is my, my point of view. I also tried to do it in my class when I was in Spain. The students are missing the true essence of yoga in the end, would yoga… What we should seek in yoga is, those kinds of inquiries or questions like “my, what is my purpose in this life?”. These kinds of things, the desire to know more about ourselves, is maybe in the western society, the lifestyle that they are living in. They don’t have time to stop and have these kinds of questions, so if their yoga teacher is in their class for at least 15 minutes or 60 minutes, they don’t give their students the chance to think and to go deeper in their personal growth or spiritual growth. Then for me it’s just like the latter so something like this or another extra activity in the gym, which actually I don’t like at all. So I feel hurt when they do this kind of thing for yoga. Also, Daniel, he said, in yoga, we have to start with a physical body with the body, and then we have to transcend to different levels until we reach the meditation of Samadhi. So it’s good to start with this, but the teacher should and should also provide different tools to students to reach the meditation or the self renunciation of each student. 

Lily: 00:18:09

Yeah, it is the job of the teacher to provide the tools for spiritual and personal growth and awakening. I think that a comment that I got from a yoga student in one of my classes in Bali a long time ago was, “I’ve never heard someone talk like you talked during the class”. These cues that we’re giving people to drop down into their bodies to release their tensions, to just sink and surrender into the movement, to not judge, to not get caught up in competitive thoughts or in the mentality aspect to try to get people to sit down and quiet down in the mind. It was so interesting to me that a student said, I’ve never heard anyone talk like that before or, you know, have that same type of narrative. Because it isn’t common that we have anybody in our lives, kind of helping us to breathe and relax and let go. Unless you’re seeing a psychologist or therapist or if you have a spiritual teacher at your specific church or synagogue or institution where you seek spiritual guidance, you might not have, might not have someone in your life to kind of help encourage you to have those tools for personal and spiritual growth. So, that is a really important role that the yoga teacher plays, and its key, I think.

 

The responsibility of the yoga teacher 

 

Almudena: 00:19:44

Definitely, definitely is. That’s the key. That’s why we are… the responsibility of the yoga teacher is to transmit all these things and what you said is, it’s kind of a pity that students like you said your experience, this student never had the chance to to get these cues nor these tips about the philosophy or the spiritual things that you were serving with them. And I think it’s because you were also learning all these things here in India. That’s why to transmit this vibe, this energy, this spiritual practice, you have to experience it. Because this is yoga, what are you going to teach if you don’t experience it first. Teachers who are taught in TTC, about alignment anatomy or Asana, this is what they are going to transmit. But if they need to speak under a philosophical aspect is not that all, they have not been taught that like that. But I think, yeah. They should, if they’re in front of a student or serve all of the details, they should go deeper and deeper in this practice. And, yeah, we also had a few years, we didn’t know we were doing some online classes with a Swami and they told us like, “Oh, if I would have known these classes before, I never would have this with my psychology”, this session. So they are learning so much about themselves. Yoga itself it’s an incredible tool to know about ourselves, our weaknesses, our strengths, how to manage our mind, our ego. So, I think it’s perfect to balance that in life. 

What is an important lesson that yoga has taught you?

 

Lily: 00:21:41

I couldn’t agree more. I really couldn’t agree more. I think something so valuable that yoga has taught me personally is about discomfort, being okay, being uncomfortable. That translates not just on the mat of course, but off of it when things are a little uncomfortable how to just breathe into that and not resist that, so much because when you’re resisting it it’s fighting you right back it’s making it more uncomfortable and making it worse. And so if you can just relax and breathe in so you can surrender, let go, you know, embrace that asana and and find your edge or embrace a conversation or embrace an awkward moment or whatever is happening in your life. So that’s a really important lesson I feel yoga has taught me. So I wanted to ask you Almudena, what is an important lesson that yoga has taught you?

 

What’s the most important lesson yoga has taught you?

 

Almudena: 00:22:37

In the end, I could not say that yoga has taught me to be flexible, or to do an inversion of something like this, that at the end is nothing. If I compare how I met growing and improving myself. I also feel like yoga has given me this opportunity to be common, what is important in our skill set or certainly common to observe the weakness of my thoughts, my emotions. To know that I’m part of them. It has told me to differentiate this ego, from my true self. I’m beyond these thoughts, my emotions, everything. So, it’s been a really important tool for me to realize that we are not individuals. So we have this connection with the Divine with something else as you said not to surrender to it, to not force something in a situation or something that we want and then and we are forcing it to happen. This is, we have to see our ego which we want these things to happen in our lives, no we have to- yes, let us go or let us happen whatever it has to happen and always think that is because of something else, something better is gonna happen to ourselves, and this this connection with our inner self with the Divine, with something superior to us. We are all one, we are part of something bigger. We cannot think that we are… This is also what society or school or education is teaching us nowadays to compete among others, to think that we can do whatever we want. At the end is not everything, everything is in our hands. We are playing roles and we have to see these, become an observer or witness and accept acceptance systems are important and this is what you guys are teaching me. And I’m very grateful to be able to see this reality now. So, I cannot say that yoga is yes to reach success and out something that is beyond this.

 

Lily: 00:25:19

It is beyond that and I thought it was really impactful Almudena when you said, doing an inversion is nothing. Like you said it with so much in heart. With so much like authentic expression, like just doing an inversion is nothing, and is not the goal, and having the ego in your practice especially if you’re in a classroom and you’re looking around the room and you’re struggling, just like in your very first class when you said the woman next to you could do everything and you felt pain and every posture. It’s that, that ego and getting to kind of just to watch it and observe it and get to know it better and then to acknowledge, like, okay this is not serving me this comparison, it doesn’t do anything and then pushing your body harder and harder to get into an inversion or Sasna or any Asana really, it’s just, it’s useless. I thought you said that really well. I appreciate that.

 

Go deeper and deeper in yoga

 

Almudena: 00:26:22

Yeah, yeah. But it’s something that we also realized with time and practice from the beginning that we are all obsessed to read and do these things at this speed, flexibility or. But once you transcend this physical part and you want to go deeper and deeper. At the end you’ll look back and you said, “wow”, but that says nothing. So, there is much more to know about yourself and. And now we can see that it’s, it’s more relevant in our daily lives than just to do any Asana. 

 

What is your definition of yoga?

 

Lily: 00:27:01

Yes, so would you mind Almudena, defining yoga for me?

 

Almudena: 00:27:05

Yes, sure. For me, as I said also, it’s the tool or the need to connect our inner self with something superior, with the superior consciousness, and we have different paths to reach this to this age of yoga. It’s not only the physical aspect which is also there in Raja Yoga, but we have to go deeper in, in servicing Karma Yoga. When we service, and we do things for others, how we feel, how we coordinate these acts, these actions and going back to your… when you are connecting yourself with the divine with something bigger than your superior than you are in Ghana yoga which is, keep learning and studying, because it’s huge, the knowledge. When you combine all these things, when you realize that it’s, you have to go through all these four paths and you will see your personal and spiritual growth. It’s improving, you are reaching this goal of yoga. And, yeah, it’s also sad for me to realize that we are not independent individuals, we are part of the whole existence. We have to see that we are not better than others or my thoughts are not better than you. At the end, you have to see that we are all one. And we are all connected. And you see this connection among everything, our among all the people that are coming to your life, then your ego will be becoming less and less and less and less. This is what we have to work on. So, yeah, that could be my definition of yoga.

 

How can people interested in a retreat reach out to you?

 

Lily: 00:29:14

Beautiful. So if somebody wants to join you for a retreat or has anything that they would like to ask you, what is a good way for them to reach out?

 

Almudena: 00:29:30

Oh, we are on Instagram. If they want to join us , do any course workshops online or offline when everything is getting better, and India opens further. They can reach us on Instagram in yogaholidays.es or in the website, yoga holidays also .es. And this is for our upcoming courses, workshops, TTCs, everything. It’s a platform, we created this platform specifically for a Spanish community, because in Spain, we have this barrier of the language. Many people, most of them, cannot do all this workshop or TTC. We are dealing with a local teacher from India. So we are offering them the opportunity, the chance to have direct contact with a local teacher, with a translation in Spanish. So anyone who is interested, they can contact us through these platforms.

 

Can you tell me more about Mala Guru?

 

Lily: 00:30:48

Sounds good. And so Almudena, I know you also have a small company called Mala Guru, I would love to hear a little bit more about that. 

 

Almudena: 00:30:59

Yeah, that is something that a friend of mine and who is also a translator in our courses here in India. We just started at the beginning last year, one year ago when everything started these situations and we wanted to keep transmitting the energy of Rishikesh, Ganges, the importance of the meditation through the manners that we started offering and selling online, in our web, malabguru.es. And little by little, as demanding, customers and clients demanded, we expanded our products into different things related to yoga, meditation like singing bowls and they were asking for a day . This is studying for the yoga hall or the small temple or I’m tired at home. These are the different, different things that we wanted to share with everyone now that they cannot come to India at least they can have this opportunity. In our mind and our products are blessed here with deeping in Ganga with Mantra Rituals also. So, they have a special energy. Everyone who got them they are feeling same and very very happy with, with us and this opportunity that we are giving them to have in their home this kind of things-

 

Lily: 00:32:52

Wonderful and so is it an international online shop so you could ship anywhere in the world are you only shipping in Europe? 

 

Almudena: 00:33:00

Yeah, we are ready to ship everywhere around the world. So anything they can contact us also on Instagram. And, or through the website. If someone is also interested in a specific product here in India, in Rishikesh, I will be happy to provide you with whatever they need.

 

Lily: 00:33:24

Wonderful. That’s so awesome. I’m glad you’ve started that, and I’m glad it’s going so well, and that you’re blessing them in doing mantras on all the products. Do you agree that there is such a special energy in Rishikesh, and by doing the ceremonies and by dipping it in the Ganga River it’s, that’s just, I love that you’re doing that Almudena, that intention is beautiful.

 

The energy of the Ganges river

 

Almudena: 00:33:47

Yeah, we wanted to give the special plus… special treatment for our customers and I think for them this is very special when we say that they are blessing Ganga with the energy of Rishikesh with this process of intent of priests doing these mantras. I think it’s something that you cannot find everywhere and we are more than happy to do it because we really believe in this… the energy that you can feel here next to Ganga. 

 

Lily: 00:34:25

Beautiful. Well, thank you so much Almudena for joining me today on the Wild Yoga Tribe Podcast. It has been such a delight to learn more about you and your yoga journey, and all of the amazing offerings you’re doing now with Yoga Holidays, yoga and with Mala Guru, so thank you so much for sharing your story with us.

 

Almudena: 00:34:47

Thank you, Lily. Thank you for this time and for letting me share all these things with you on your followers.

 

Wild Yoga Tribe Podcast Outro

 

Lily: 00:34:59

Thank you so much for tuning into this episode of The Wild Yoga Tribe podcast. This week we’ve had yoga teacher Almudena Laborda Galindo from Spain. I hope you enjoyed this conversation that I thought just covered so many interesting topics. Talking about how the Asana may be the most attractive element of yoga but it’s not the point of yoga, talking about the purpose of yoga to seek and search for self inquiry the “Who am I and the what is my purpose?”, and even the role of a yoga teacher you know to go deeper and deeper into the practice of Yoga itself, and to get to know all the tools that yoga offers. So I hope that there have been some things in these conversations that have sparked something in you whether it has been a question or something you’re excited to learn more about. I hope you found this episode in this conversation as enlightening and delightful as I have. So, let me know in the comments, or get in touch on social media. I would love to hear your thoughts. Thank you and be well.
