The Teacher

Meet Tal Kalisker

My journey into yoga wasn't casual—it has been a daily commitment for the last six years. I am a practitioner first and a teacher second.

I practice Vijnana Yoga, a unique stream of yoga that is currently rare to find in Madrid. My approach is born from six years of uninterrupted daily Sadhana (practice) and deep study. I believe that yoga is not just about performing shapes, but about listening to the body with intelligence and compassion.

I teach exclusively in English, creating a space for Madrid’s international community and locals alike to explore a practice that unifies the body, the breath, and the mind. While I am currently finalizing the formal requirements of my teacher training certification, I teach with the full endorsement of my mentor, sharing the insights gained from thousands of hours on the mat.

The Method

What is Vijnana Yoga?

Vijnana is a practice that seeks to heal the split between different yoga traditions. If you have ever felt torn between wanting a hard workout and wanting a spiritual practice, this is the bridge.

Precision: We use the detailed alignment and intelligence found in Iyengar Yoga.

Flow: We move with the breath and rhythm found in Vinyasa.

Softness: We respect the body’s organic limits, similar to traditional Hatha.

A Typical Class Includes:

  • Silent Sitting (Just Sitting): We cultivate a quiet mind before moving the body.
  • Pranayama: Breathing techniques to expand vital energy.
  • Asana: Physical postures practiced with the "Seven Vital Principles" of Vijnana.
  • Study: Integration of yogic texts and philosophy.
