What sets Isha Hatha Yoga apart?

Our lineage: consider what it could be like to learn Yoga from the source, say from a yogi in the Himalayas, to know that what you are receiving is authentic without any distortion. Isha Hatha Yoga is that. Our practices come from the Adiyogi and the 7 Saptarishis and were brought to the South of India by Agastya Muni, the father of South Indian mysticism. Our programs are designed by Sadhguru the living master, yogi and mystic, and the founder of the Isha Foundation ( www.isha.sadhguru.com ), and are always conducted in a committed and conducive atmosphere, with meticulous attention to every aspect of the class. Isha Yoga is practised by millions around the world and its benefits have been recorded in many studies that show significant increases in concentration, mental clarity, emotional balance, energy levels, productivity, inner peace, and self-confidence.

Surya Kriya Description of the main practice

Surya Kriya is a potent 21-step yogic practice of tremendous antiquity, designed as a holistic process for health, wellness, and complete inner well-being. It activates the solar plexus to raise the Samat Prana, or solar heat, in the system. It also balances a person's left and right energy channels, leading to stability of the body and stillness of the mind. Traditionally available only to select groups of yogis, Surya Kriya is being offered by Sadhguru as a comprehensive spiritual practice that is ideal for the hectic pace of today's world.

Kate Certified Isha Hatha Yoga Teacher from Sadhguru Gurukulam School

When I was first introduced to Isha Hatha Yoga, I had a 12-year career as a diplomat and I was working in the Mission of my country, Montenegro, to the United Nations in New York. My job was quite diverse, dynamic, and rewarding, including lots of travel and interesting encounters. However, the experience of Isha yoga opened completely new dimensions of life in me, bringing an all-pervasive sense of gratefulness and joy.

I was deeply touched as I witnessed how these ancient yogic practices transformed my life and the lives of many people around me over a few years, so I decided to leave my professional career and become a full-time yoga practitioner and teacher. I completed the Isha Hatha Yoga Teachers Training in Sadhguru Gurukulam, Coimbatore, South India - an intensive and immersive 5-month program (1750+h of training). With this unique training, I received the gift of sharing and offering classical hatha yoga in its purest form to the world.

Additional practices that will be taught during this retreat

Nadhi Shuddhi

A Yogic practice that cleanses the nadis – the pathways through which prana (vital energy) flows – resulting in a balanced energy system and psychological well-being. It relieves anxiety, stress and psychological tension, and brings balance to your thoughts, activities and emotions, so you can enjoy a deep sense of peace throughout the day.

AUM chanting

AUM chanting is a powerful practice that aligns the three fundamental aspects of the system – body, mind and energy – leading to a more profound experience of life. It helps stabilize the body and mind, thus eliminating psychological disturbances and alleviating chronic ailments. AUM chanting creates a powerful basis for further inner exploration.

Isha Kriya meditation

The purpose of Isha Kriya is to help an individual get in touch with the source of his existence and to create life according to his wish and vision. Daily practice of Isha Kriya brings health, dynamism, peace and well-being. It is a powerful tool that develops mental clarity and focus and creates mental stability.
