Carlos Pomeda is a teacher who is steeped in the spiritual traditions of ancient India. Originally from Madrid, Spain, Carlos received formal, traditional training in yoga during almost 18 years as a monk of the Sarasvati order, 9 of which he spent in India.

During this time he learned the various systems of Indian Philosophy, immersed himself in the practice of yoga and became one of the senior teaching monks of the tradition—teaching meditation and philosophy to tens of thousands of students around the world. He combines this experience and traditional training with an academic background that includes two Masters' degrees: one in Sanskrit from UC Berkeley and another one, in Religious Studies, from UC Santa Barbara.

As a teacher, Carlos is known for his love of the Indian yoga traditions, his insight, his humor, his deep empathy with his audiences and his ability to convey the deepest scriptural teachings in a way that is alive, accessible and meaningful. Studying with Carlos is both delightful and enlightening.

Take advantage of this rare opportunity to experience the original texts and teachings of the Yoga Tradition with someone who fluently reads the Sanskrit language in which those teachings are written.

Carlos currently lives in Austin, Texas, and has recently created a set of 6 DVD’s titled “The Wisdom of Yoga,” a series of practical workshops on the history, philosophy and practices of the yoga tradition (available from www.stretchnow.com.au)

here’s a man who can be trusted to cut through the usual window-dressing of yoga and give me the real goods… a heavyweight… without being heavy, he has a jaw-dropping range of knowledge.”
