"When I prepare to teach I dedicate my heart and my mind with the upmost delicacy and excellence, until I am in front of the class, and realize that everything I know is to help, support and empower the student and for that, and before we get on the mat, there is always an alignment to allow the Universe to guide and inspire us, so the time of the class becomes a sacred journeyJavier.

What other teachers says about Javier Castro

Lea Loncar about Javier

PHD in Psychology Developmental Psychology at NTNU University in Norway.

His teachings, creativity, sense of humour, devotion and exceptional technical and spiritual knowledge of Yogas are truly impressive. I am forever grateful to him to introduce me to Kashmir Shaivism teachings and realize my full potential as a Yoga teacher. His attentiveness to each student, great persistence in his personal development as well as development of his students brings forth a lot of creativity and discipline in his teachings as well as his life as a teacher.

Javi’s charismatic nature, strong commitment to Yoga path and community building have resulted in his current Teacher Training Course that I would highly recommend. His analytical nature, depth of knowledge and his natural curiosity makes this course unique. He makes his own drawings for understanding of the technical part of asanas, and makes his own Teacher Training Manuals. He also uses his bilingual capabilities to translate important Yoga concepts into Spanish language and community.

He is a living teacher, dedicated practitioner and true seeker. I have seen him in several stages of his development, practicing regularly, not missing a day from his chant, meditation, yoga asanas, pranayama as well as karma Yoga. Javi never stops – he is continuously changing and is a true example of Yoga evolution. I have witnessed his devotional bakhti and karma Yoga work in Siddha Yoga Ashram in India, as well as disciplined vigorous practice in Mysore shala of Ashtanga Yoga. His Yoga path is all-inclusive, where he shows respect and tolerance for different limbs of Yoga, different styles and teachings.

On the personal level, his kindness is rare – helping friends and strangers alike and having tremendous compassion for all living beings.

Also offers international workshops and retreats and develops Teacher Training programs. His energetic and compassionate being have inspired and supported hundreds of people on their Yoga path, committed to share Yoga alchemy with all beings that want to make a difference – starting with themselves.
