Magda Torres

Magda Torres combines her steadfast commitment to personal development and strategic planning with extensive experience across diverse international contexts. This unique blend provides her with a perspective that enriches her ability to address challenges with innovation and depth.

 

Her commitment to exploring inner development is deeply rooted in her experiences growing up in Colombia, where she was surrounded by violence, corruption, and injustice. This background inspired her to explore how practices such as yoga, mental training, and holistic well-being could offer effective solutions.

 

With over 20 years of experience in yoga, encompassing styles such as Ashtanga, Anusara, Vinyasa Flow, Hatha, Iyengar, Yin Yoga, and Therapeutic Yoga, she has honed her approach under the guidance of renowned masters. Her profound immersion in experiential Buddhist practices has deepened her understanding and application of these transformative tools.

 

Extensive retreats in India, Nepal, and other global locations have further enriched her expertise. A notable milestone in her trajectory was receiving a Dharma name and taking refuge with Lama Zopa Rinpoche at Kopan Monastery in Nepal. The invaluable opportunity to learn directly from him during the pandemic reinforced her commitment to integrating compassion and wisdom into both her practice and professional work.

 

As a certified coach, Magda employs a trauma-sensitive approach, ensuring her guidance is both empathetic and effective. Her comprehensive training enables her to support individuals in their personal and professional growth with adaptability and insight. Her method blends contemporary and traditional techniques to help individuals rediscover their sense of agency and strengthen their inner resilience. Through this process, Magda aims to foster profound changes in individuals’ lives, creating a positive impact on their communities, workplaces, families, and ultimately, society as a whole.

 

Her accessible and adaptable style is grounded in a strong commitment to integrity, empathy, and genuine optimism. Her leadership promotes collaboration and innovation, helping both individuals and organizations thrive. Through Wise Lama, Magda is dedicated to advancing personal and professional development with evidence-based programs, workshops, and training sessions that enable individuals and communities to flourish, guided by principles of compassion and wisdom.
