Pablo Ferrero
My path in Yoga is nourished by the search for integration and authenticity. Although my ultimate goal is to transcend definitions, organizing my personal history helps me understand the journey I have traveled and glimpse the horizon ahead. Currently, my approach combines Iyengar Yoga, Hatha-Kriya Yoga, and classical Tantra, with a particular focus on non-dual Shaivism from Kashmir. Additionally, Tibetan Buddhism and its various practices continue to be a fundamental pillar in my life.
In recent years, the shamanic worldview of the Amazon and the Andes, along with work with medicinal plants, has taken a central role in my process of self-discovery and transformation.
By life circumstances, I hold a degree in Journalism and Communication Sciences, along with a Postgraduate Degree in Coaching and Personal Leadership from the University of Barcelona. I also pursued studies in Psychology, although I did not complete them.
Yoga Training and Experience
I am a certified Iyengar Yoga teacher, trained at the Institut Anuttara of Iyengar Yoga in Nice under the guidance of Christian Pisano and June Whittaker. I have delved into Integral Yoga, Restorative Yoga, Yoga for Women, and Kashmir Tantra with Amit Raina and Lina Ma at the Kashmir Shaivism School of Yoga in India. Additionally, I hold a diploma in Yogic Studies from Yoga Vidya Gurukul and Pune University.
Since 2008, I have regularly traveled to India, where I have studied and practiced with renowned schools such as the Ramamani Iyengar Memorial Yoga Institute (Pune), Bihar School of Yoga, Yog Ganga for Yoga Studies, and Patanjala Yoga Kendra. I have made over 10 trips to India, spending nearly three years immersed in its culture, which has become a second home for me.
Complementary Interests
As a student of traditional Indian music, I have had the privilege of learning tabla and vocal techniques from renowned teachers.
Retreats and Teaching
For years, I have been leading Yoga and adventure retreats in Spain, Portugal, Switzerland, Morocco, Peru, and India. Currently, I am a teacher at Matrika Yoga, a school located in Madrid and the Sierra de Madrid, offering retreats and specialized trainings.
About My Participation in AEYI
Until 2024, I was a member of AEYI (Spanish Association of Iyengar Yoga). However, due to a conflict of interest and feeling that my rights and freedoms were being violated, I decided to withdraw. If you would like more details about my decision, you can read my resignation letter at the following link: link.
My Journey
Experience is earned by walking.
Throughout my life, I have moved through different processes of transformation. I began my personal work through Yoga and meditation at the age of 16. Over more than a decade of deep practice—during which I immersed myself in Yoga, Ayurveda, and Tantra—I gradually developed an increasingly subtle understanding of the mind, its functions, and its fluctuations. I worked on essential aspects such as compassion, forgiveness, and the various manifestations of the ego.
However, over time I became aware that it was not enough to face life solely through psychophysical practices. Despite the work I had done, I felt that my karmic body continued to carry energetic seeds from past experiences, imprinted in very deep layers of my being, like memories that had not yet been integrated.
This realization led me to immerse myself for three years in a process of psychotherapy, mainly through Gestalt therapy and Lacanian psychoanalysis. At the same time, I undertook an in-depth training in Coaching and Personal Leadership, whose first year was entirely devoted to inner work through systemic therapy, the Enneagram, and the review of introjects and limiting beliefs. Thanks to this process of rearticulating my personal history, I began to perceive how my energetic body was progressively recovering more optimal levels of vitality.
Little by little, my energetic body began to open, and the entire worldview I had studied throughout my travels in India—energetic work, yogic purifications, and subtle practices—started to take on a deeper meaning, becoming organically rooted in my lived experience.
During this process, music, mantra chanting, and voice healing grew increasingly significant. Through them, I felt for the first time that healing was reaching all layers of my being, in a progressive and coherent way.
Within my path of self-knowledge, the year 2018 marked a turning point. It was then, during a trip to Peru, that I began to experiment with medicinal plants from the Amazon and the Andes. My encounter with Ayahuasca and San Pedro opened for me a profoundly revealing worldview. For someone with a strong “earth” nature, as I am, it was an experience of great beauty and clarity, in which I was able to recognize the deep similarity between the worldviews of India—especially classical Tantra and Tibetan Buddhism—and the spiritual vision of the ancestral cultures of South America.
Since then, I have participated in numerous medicine ceremonies and have also undertaken a couple of diets—processes that have allowed me to continue purifying the physical, energetic, and spiritual bodies. These experiences have facilitated access to expanded states of consciousness, in which the sense of Unity—the lived experience that we are all interconnected and form a single, interdependent whole—has gradually consolidated as a natural way of being in the world.
Added to all this is my deep immersion in the application of Ayurveda, both on a personal level of self-healing and in accompanying others through Ayurvedic health consultations. This perspective has allowed me to observe myself, as well as patients, students, and close ones, through a different lens, gradually leaving behind a purely humanistic view to make way for a more naturalistic and essential understanding. We all come from Mother Earth, and much of our suffering arises from a profound disconnection from her.
Rather than trying to “save” her from the arrogance that often characterizes human beings, perhaps we should learn to let ourselves be saved by her: to ask for permission, to receive her blessings, and to relate with respect and humility to all that she offers us.
It is from this place that I currently accompany healing processes—processes in which we work with compassion and forgiveness toward our personal history, in order to rearticulate our own lives and understand that everything we have lived—without exception—has been necessary to recognize our true nature.
Each step, each experience, even the most difficult ones, has shaped the person I am today. And ultimately, that is who we are: the gaze with which we choose to interpret and inhabit the world. I continue to know myself and work on myself, and I am pleased to affirm that my goal is to explore my maximum potential as a human being… and to maintain optimal levels of energy as the result of a well-lived LIFE.

Testimonials
Una regalo necesario que habríamos de permitirnos con mayor frecuencia, ya que es a través de la interacción con otros como más aprendemos de nosotros mismos. Te permite salir de la rutina, a veces, asfixiante y monótona. Para mí fue un viaje al interior, para observar y reconocer mi “aquí y ahora” y así continuar con más claridad y fuerza mi camino. Supuso un encuentro desde la naturalidad, compartiendo en grupo enfoque de vida, vivencias y experiencias-aprendizajes; sin miedo a la vulnerabilidad. Para repetir, sin duda.
Todo un lujo, poder disfrutar de unas clases de yoga en la Sierra Oeste.
Dónde el cuidado del detalle, sensibilidad, y personalización de la práctica de yoga, toma protagonismo.
Donde la mirada, se dirige a nuestro interior.
