The proposal of this research is to understand the state of presence provoked by the practice of Yoga, with the objective of developing this understanding by adopting a method that is based on the phenomenological-existential thought proposed by the philosopher Martin Heidegger (1889-1976). This piece of work originated from questions that emerged from the experience of the researcher, who has been a Yoga practitioner and teacher for approximately ten years. The main questions related to a possible phenomenological-existential reading of the phenomenon of presence in Yoga, questions such as: Is it possible to speak of a state of presence? Can anyone feel more present because of the practice of Yoga? What is the importance of the body in this perception? Therefore, we sought to unveil the phenomenon of presence in Yoga through the researcher's own experience as a practitioner and as a teacher. The construction of this study was developed based on records of the practice, which were transformed into personal reports and then used as a way of unveiling the phenomenon and method of investigation. To transform the experiences lived in the classes into narratives for the research, a class diary was produced. The diary consisted of 17 classes from which the analysis of the possible meanings and the meaning of the experience for reflection on the phenomenon of presence in yoga was carried out. The phenomenon was revealed as a connection with bodily sensations, perception of one’s own thoughts and relationship with time, which configured openness to oneself, to the world and to the meaning of life of Dasein, that, from this experience of contact with itself, understands how it reacts to life.
