The Madhya
I’m drawn to spontaneous practices that emerge in the present moment. When yoga becomes a direct connection with nature, deeper insights come naturally—especially when we allow ourselves to be surprised. I call this full embodied presence.
This is an invitation to make space in your daily life—a pause to recharge and reconnect. In yogic tradition, this pause is called madhya: the still point between expansion and contraction. These gaps exist throughout life.
Try a short practice:
Find a comfortable seat—on a chair, a meditation cushion, or wherever you are. Let your body relax: soften all your joints from your toes to your hips, up through your spine, neck, and jaw.
Let your breath come naturally. Feel the inhale move down through the crown of your head into your heart. Feel the exhale rise from the base of your seat as it meets the inhale. After a few breaths, notice how this dance between inhale and exhale will happen naturally.
Born Spanish, Kike grew up between Morocco and the south of Spain. After obtaining a degree in Law and Economics he followed his dream and established a yoga retreat center on Gili Meno, a little atoll in Indonesia.
Trained as a yoga teacher in the Anusara method in 2012, since 2014 Kike followed the path of Embodied Flow, which involves a continuum of movement to experience yoga as a living art form. Oneness, kindness and embodiment are his guiding principles.
Kike is now based on Waiheke Island, where he founded One Kind Being, a platform for intimately connecting with nature through sustainable travel.
