Carlos Fiel
Teacher
Born in San Sebastian in 1950, doctor and musician. He could be summed up as having practised Yoga and meditation since 1967. In 1980, together with his brother Emilio, he founded the Rainbow Community, which developed both in Spain and in Europe between 1980 and 1995. At the same time, in 1980, he founded the Sadhana School, a training centre for yoga teachers and psycho-corporal therapies. Sadhana currently has eight training schools, twelve trainers and over the years has trained more than two thousand teachers. He was a direct collaborator of Gérard Blitz from the foundation of the European Union of Yoga until Blitz’s death in 1990. As a doctor and in the therapeutic field, his work has focused on psycho-anatomical and psychosomatic research which, together with “evolutionary medicine” has been his main academic interest in different universities both in Spain and abroad.
His practice and vision of yoga are enriched by contributions from medicine, neuroscience and different therapeutic visions. His personal work focuses on meditation and comes from a long development in Zen Buddhism, Tibetan Buddhism and the Theravada world, on which he has focused for the last fifteen years. „The search for serenity, understanding and compassion are three of the most beautiful goals that human beings can set themselves. For this it is necessary that our bodies become a source of life and not a shell. The desire for shared well-being is the quality of living matter.“
