Miguel Martins is a true man of the sea — a sailor, a yogi, and the captain behind the Sailing Turiya Project. With years of experience navigating open waters, he brings not only technical skill but also a deep sense of presence and awareness to every journey. As a yogi, Miguel lives in alignment with nature, guiding each experience with calm, intuition, and respect for the rhythm of the sea. On board, he oversees all operations with confidence, ensuring safety, harmony, and a truly meaningful experience for everyone who sails with him.
Turiya is a Sanskrit word meaning “the fourth state” of consciousness.
It is a state of pure awareness beyond thought, time, and ego.
It is described as peace, pure consciousness, and bliss (śānti, cit, ānanda).
This name reflects the way we choose to live — in connection with nature, simplicity, and inner presence. For Miguel, sailing was never just about reaching destinations, but about entering a different state of being at sea. As practitioners of yoga, we embrace this philosophy in daily life, allowing it to guide the way we sail, move, and share experiences with others.
Out on the water, life slows down and perception expands. Sailing turns into an experience of presence, where every decision, breath, and movement is connected to the rhythm of nature. It is in this space that learning happens naturally — through experience, attention, and simplicity.
