This is my favorite place in the United States. Great people, amazing energy, amazing nature, and amazing events. I try to drive down here once a month from my place in Columbus, Ohio. It was a little more difficult this year because of covid but I still made it down. This place is not a tourist attraction and not for people who just want to run around and take pictures. It is best if you drop the technology and imbibe the whole place. It has been very transformative for me. I would highly recommend sleeping in Mahima if you get the chance, amazing, amazing, amazing.
Also, the food is legendary ;) and make sure you grab as many Sanjeevini Ladoo from the shop as possible because most likely they will sell out fast. (Especially if I'm there)
Pranam
I have nothing but sweetness of emotion towards everyone in isha. Thanks to their work my life has been transformed. Namaskaram.
I heard a big deal about this place. Last week when I was travelling through Tennessee I decided to visit. When I arrived Isha Yoga center, a lady briefed me about the schedule ,what I can do and what is off limits due to COVID. Unfortunately, she did not inform that taking pictures of Siva(Aadi Yogi) statue is not allowed, nor there is any sign anywhere I could see that cameras are off limit. Long story short I keep my travel record as pictures, I took 3 pictures of the Siva. Immediately a lady came running and furious that I took pictures of Siva and made me to delete and also made sure that it is deleted from recently deleted folder.
I was wondering why? What they do not want the rest of the wold to see? Very fishy!!! I will never visit again.
My first time experience was Awesome..!!!
The Welcome desk closes at 07 PM but we reached the place at 08.30 PM.
Even though we reached late, the Volunteers were very helpful and make sure we had good food that night (09PM) and a quick tour at 09PM is beyond expectation. Wonderful place for Yoga and above all the great volunteers(Special thanks to Ramiz and Dennis). Thanks for everything.
Must visit, beautiful meditative and peaceful ambiance. One can truly transform themselves in this atmosphere. Programs are life changing. Highly recommend taking the inner engineering program. Relevant to all people from all backgrounds and religion.
It's very disappointing to everyone that, conducting online IE programs, but unable to complete Shambavi as an entire package. I do not understand the nature of bits and pieces of program execution. Last several months I am seeking for shambavi completion, the only unknown random answer I am getting as "We do not have any inner engineering completion programs scheduled as of now due to covid 19. Watch the Isha Newsletter for that announcement."
We need a responsible answer from Isha that, how can 21-day Sadhana Program possible to conduct in COVID but not the one-day Shambavi?
Peaceful Lovely Place
I think sadhguru owes me a suite for dismantling my social surroundings ;)
I visited Isha Institute Of Inner Sciences few times now.
It is a beautiful place for everyone from kids to teens, adults to pensioners. It is perfect place for one day outing as well as spending a few days.
They have awesome hike trails, offer free Yoga sessions suitable for all ages. The Institute also many programs to explore inner sciences. Anyone above 15 years of can go their flagship program Inner Engineering and reap immense benefits from it like millions of the people who have gone through it already.
Great place with great support staff
This place has so much positive energy. The air itself feels different. Sadhguru has consecrated the whole place ..I feel alive whenever I'm there. My meditation and practices are very deep. Everyone should atleast once visit this place in their lifetime and do inner engineering programme. Whole perspective of life will change. Words cannot describe it only one can feel it.
Wonderful place and it is consecrated. Anyone who doesn't know meditation can get into meditative state. All are devoted volunteers. Highly healthy food and not to miss, it is very tasty. You will not find this kind of food elsewhere for just $10.00 with many items. I highly recommend for a visit. The time we are here is cold and raining on and off, so I recommend you check whether before you plan to visit. Also I heard it is a great place for trecking , highking.
My life has been transformed through the processes I have learned here with Sadhguru.
This place has an positive energy that you cannot find elsewhere. Along with the surrounding natural beauty, I found the Adiyogi Abode a great place to refresh and energize myself.
Great initiative for well being of humans ! No race no poor no rich ! everyone is human !
A Magical and magnificent place to visit. Amazed at the way the volunteers maintain that place which is full of energy, tranquility and some unknown attraction..
Kudos to you guys
Peaceful Environment and great place for Meditation. Thank You Sadhguru.
Absolutely beautiful place to be in the US where so many unimaginable things are possible internally. For the people who write negative comments about this place, the don't even have a minor clue about the immensity that is within this whole area. With the right receptivity, this place is a "wonderworld" with so many beautiful things to experience. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO VISIT!
Hard to Meditate, I spent whole day in this place and drove all the way from Atlanta to meditate thinking it will be calm environment. I was aghast that in Adi Yog meditation center when I started meditating it was so hard to focus on my breath because of continuous sound of Sadhguru audio DVD which was played by the Temple committee. I was able to sit for 3 hrs in one go but this sound was distracting and was hurdle in focusing on my breath and was hurdle in holding the monkey mind. I planned to meditate one complete day but I had to break my sequence because of this sound of Sadhguru. I recommend Sadhguru not to allow any chanting inside meditation hall as we must know that when we finally start meditation no thoughts and mantra is inside us.. Finally is is pure blissOverall very poor experienceI will not recommend anyone to go here and meditate as hardly people know meditation and they will waste time and money here..
Not too many places in the US can rank for me above this place. Really enjoy the entire experience.
Life transforming information. As a law of attraction coach, I thought I had awoken and understood energy, manifestation and the divine. Then Isha & Sadhguru woke me up again to an even high level of consciousness and a way to see the world and myself in it. Incredible organization. Happy to count myself as one of the community members and I look forward to growing and expanding here.
