Welcome to Padmasambhava Yoga Meditation
Padmasambhava is a non-profit organisation and centre located in Llandeilo town, West Wales.
We are deeply involved in teaching yoga and networked to yoga centres and schools throughout Europe, Asia and Australia. We teach Satyananda Yoga in accordance with the teachings of the Bihar School of Yoga.
We are an active group with access to an international team of yoga teachers, therapists and yoga researchers. We also work in the field of yoga research in collaboration with the "Bihar Yoga Bharati", the Yoga university in Bihar India. The "European Yoga Research Fellowship" (EYRF) is based at Padmasambhava.
Weekly classes are held at the centre and surrounding areas. Day workshops, retreats and seminars are held at the centre and other venues by visiting teachers from the UK and abroad.
A non-profit organisation teaching yoga within your local community.
Our aim is to guide students towards their physical, mental and spiritual potential through the teaching of yoga and meditation.
How Padmasambhava Yoga Centre runs
The centre is run by a small group of dedicated individuals. Set up as an unincorporated charitable organisation in 1995 it is now in the process of registering as a charity so as to more fully contribute to the local and wider yogic community.
From the beginning the underlying philosophy has been one of seva and karma yoga or selfless service. This is the core practice of the members of Padma.
Aims and Objectives
The detailed aims and objectives defined in the constitution are currently under review, prior to charity registration, and will be posted when the approval process has been completed. Here are the main aims:- To promote, foster and conduct research in to the effects of Yoga.
- To provide yoga classes for the community by teachers trained in the "Satyananda Yoga" tradition regardless of age, sex, race or religious beliefs (or lack thereof).
- To present yoga workshops, seminars and retreats.
- To establish a residential centre where the yogic lifestyle can be more fully experienced.
What Padma provides to students- Regular yoga classses in the "Satyananda Yoga" tradition and a variety of workshops and retreats with concessionary rates for those in need.
- A library containing books and videos on yoga and related subjects for loan.
- A retail outlet for yoga textbooks and products required by students to facilitate their practice.
- An opportunity to work in the spirit of seva, either by doing karma yoga at the centre, by working on one of its projects or by helping other charitable works going on elsewhere.
- A website updating yoga activities, providing links to other related sites and publication of articles about different aspects of yoga posted by contributers worldwide.
The teachers
All regular class teachers are trained in the "Satyananda Yoga" tradition.
The resident teachers and the members of the committee receive no renumeration or material reward for running the centre or for the classes or workshops they teach as part of Padma's events programme. The residents provide for their own living expenses through external work. Padma will however pay non resident teachers to teach classes, workshops and retreats when necessary. See ((Other Classes & Events)) for details of classes and events that are not a direct part of Padma's sheduled programme.
The facilities
The property at which the centre runs its activities, equipment and motor vehicle expenses are provided mostly by donation. Padma does contribute to a share of the costs of services, motor expenses and upkeep of the facilities.
