Isha Foundation Inc

I am a chronic kidney patient and I with my husband did a blunder mistake by coming to Isha foundation for the inner engineering program, Coimbatore as suggested by their people on the phone. They convinced me to attend the program by giving me wrong information on the availability of my food there and told me that 40 people will b around me to look after my restricted renal diet.There was no provision of my food and because of that my health deteorated. And on the last day of the program they just throw us out from Isha foundation without even serving the breakfast and not letting my husband atleast to complete the program as they got scared of my health(Just BP got high in mrng but after taking my medications as usual, Bp came down to 135/90). They were forcing us to go to hospital via ambulance to city, though it was not an emergency. They have a set protocol which they are following blindfolded and do not listen to what the other has to say. If they got scared with my health issues then why the Isha people convinced me to come and attend the program. I had mentioned about all my health issues on phone before registering. How can they assure me for doing this thing? Money minded people....They should actually refund me the last day fees of the program as we had to book a hotel to stay that day in city and such a torture we faced on that day. Because of all this unplanned travelling I had a severe headache. I suggest nobody should come here with such medical ailment (Hypertension & kidney disorder). I am suffering a lot after this . All my kidney values have increased now which before coming to Isha was decreasing and getting better.....
They should not play with anyone's life... ..... Anshita Gupta from DELHI

Isha programs made a huge difference in my life. My compulsive reactions have gone down, back pain subsided and my energy level went up. I did Inner Engineering, Shoonya and Bhava Spandana. I would be exploring more programs in the coming years!

I have been in compulsive state of action every time, I always had to do something to be normal let alone joyful. I used to sink deep in to seclusion if I didn't have people near me or if I was not doing something. I have never looked for any Yoga nor did I know of any form of Yoga. I encountered Isha Kriya, an online meditation and I suddenly realized the way I was being is not only a torture to myself but people around me. Ever since I started practicing Isha Kriya and Inner Engineering things changed in ways that I could not imagine. Isha provides the science of Yoga in it's classical form and lets you experience a deep state of well being. Isha Foundation is also involved in many social projects like Project Green hands, Rally for Rivers and Beat Plastic pollution.

Whenever I visit, I always experience higher states of awareness of what is happening within me. I can feel myself evolving to a higher state of consciousness. This is truly a special place which is much needed in our society today.

I did the Innner Engineering program in September 2017 and it has changed my life forever! It has significantly improved my well-being and given me the tools to manage my energies and emotions so that they are in alignment with my higher self. Thank you so much! I'm forever grateful to ISHA and their programs.

I have been listening to the teachings of Yoga as told by Sudhguru for a year now. I participated in the Inner Engineering Course this past June. It has brought a new and profound perspective into my life. I fell like I have died and a new inclusive person has resurrected in its place.

I have been associated with Isha Foundation for last 10+ years both as a meditator and as a volunteer in difference capacities. Without a blink of an eye, I can say that Sadhguru and the Inner Engineering yoga practices have been life changing, to say the least. From my experience, I can say for sure that the volunteering program has been structured to evolve human beings by undertaking activities to evolve other human beings and the surrounding environment (be it, Action for Rural Rejuvation, Project Green Hands, Rally for Rivers).

I was a long-term practitioner of yoga before I came to participate in any of Isha Foundation's programs. Many times people who had experienced Sadhguru's teachings, directly or indirectly, would sing the praises of the experience. A few friends sat me down and more or less insisted that I register myself for a course through Isha Foundation. A few times, I resisted. I had no interest in taking on a new yoga technique or lesson. Finally, I took a program with Sadhguru. My yoga practice has never been richer since. I am endlessly inspired by the experience and my continued exposure to Sadhguru's teachings and Isha Foundation's work in the world. It lines up with my deep concern for spiritual growth, social justice, and environmental stewardship. I feel it is one of the most beneficial non-profit organizations for humanity in the world.

If I would use a word to describe my experience with ISHA- it TRANSFORMED my life. From The rail of social activities they take up to raising human consciousness and individual transformation - ISHA foundation has been adding bliss to life’s

I am totally overwhelmed by the things happening at this place. If someone is serious about their ultimate wellbeing, you shouldn’t miss this place.

I completed Inner Engineering with Sadhguru and since then life has changed in so many ways , I have never felt so happy and blissful. I will continue practising rest of my life. Thank you so much Sadhguru and all volunteers of Isha.

Sadhguru's work has changed my life. I went to a chiropractor once a week for most of my adult life due to injuries sustained as a teenager. Both feet had plantar faciitis and I had to wear support shoes even in my home. My hips hurt when I slept on them at night. Within a short time, all of that disappeared because of doing his yoga every morning. I'm so grateful. Even more than the physical changes, what I love most is his teachings: they are all about inclusiveness - no exceptions. That's what pure love is all about. He tirelessly works to bring joy and wellbeing to every single person on the planet. I don't know of any other human being so committed to all every person in the world. Brenda Miller

My association with Isha started in 2016, prior to which everything seemed to be going well for me - great career, family, friends, comforts , yet I was living a non-inclusive life with a myopic vision. Taking the Inner Engineering program completely transformed me as I gained immense clarity, enhanced perception and a constant sense of joy and exuberance, opening me up to life in way I could not have imagined. I became a more conscious human being, being aware of how every action was impacting the world around me. It has been the most fulfilling and gratifying experience since then to be with Isha and touch so many lives by volunteering for the transformational programs and participating in the awareness campaigns for Rally for Rivers and Stop Plastic Pollution, to have a positive impact on the planet. Even in my own life I am constantly looking for ways to reduce my footprint on the planet and come up with simple ways to conserve water and reduce single use plastic consumption. As I feel more connected to the people and environment around me, the experience of life is so much richer. With deep gratitute I would like to thank Sadhguru and Isha Foundation for opening up this possibility for all through individual transformation.

Since I discovered Isha my life has changed. I feel more calm and relax. I have done some of the practices and I have watch many Sadhguru videos. I will be taking the Inner Engineering class this month and that is something I've been looking forward to complete. Next, I will become a volunteer and be part of an extraordinary organization.

I started in 2003 with the Inner Engineering program and was blown away--it changed my life dramatically. I went on to complete the BSP program months later which far exceeded my expectations. Then in 2005 I did the Samyama program and it was such an honor to visit the Ashram in India and volunteer while I soaked everything in. I've volunteered for programs several times since and most recently did the Himalayan Trek which again has changed me so much for the better. Isha Foundation is the greatest gift.

I and my wife have done all the courses with Sadhguru over a period of the year. We are so blessed to be in the time where a person like Sadhguru is alive and teaching. He has completely transformed our lives.

In 2017, my husband and I did the inner engineering program with Sadhguru. We did Bhava Spandana, Yogasanas, Shoonya Intensive and Samyama within a year. Our life has totally changed and we recommend these courses to everyone we meet. I used to be a very lazy person without discipline. I was suffering with a chronic illness too - Ulcerative Colitis. All of it changed. Life became joyful. Flares reduced/ symptoms minimized. Discipline, Energy, more importantly clarity/perception. No one tells you how to live life. He clearly tells you how life should be lived. All I can say is I am so fortunate to know Sadhguru, and do all these courses. Not many can understand the value of these courses.

I did the inner engineering program in august 2017 and i can definitely say that it is the most important thing i did in my life in terms of wellbeing. Having a medical record that thick at young age made me wonder what's left in my old age but after doing this program, all my health problems are gone, all of them. I can't express my gratitude and my feelings through words.

I have done my inner engineering course in June 2014 and since than it has changed my life. I have followed the practice and diet and lost almost 30 lb in a year, improved quality of sleep, feel energetic throughout the day. It has changed how i see my work and life. I am now intensely involved in whatever activity i do. I wish everyone should get a chance to learn this ancient science of yoga. Thanks you Sadhguru.

Volunteering at
Isha is definitely not something I can put words on it, because the experience of it, is way more immense than to be able to put it into words. The high energy atmosphere of when volunteering for programs and being around other volunteers who are so willing touches my heart every time and it feels so beyond words that i keep wanting to be more and more a part of it!
The practices that i have learned makes me feel very blessed and lucky because i get to learn real yoga and now because of it I get to design my life and how I want to be and live my life, not only the way i want but to such extent that i never imagined it would be even possible!
I Feel very grateful and will always be for the rest of my life!

There was a time when I felt depressed, unmotivated, and confused about my direction in life. I knew I needed to invest some internal efforts to improve my life, but I didn't know how to begin.

ISHA provided me with the tools to begin my Inner Journey, and my life has never been the same since. It has only been 8 months since I completed my Inner Engineering class, and my life has already dramatically transformed.

No words can match the experience. Have an open mind and willingness to practice regularly. That is all is needed. Changed my life and blessed to be part of Isha Foundation.

i have been part of Isha foundation from 2009 its getting to 10 years, i'm doing 2+ hours of yoga every day at least, i'm trying not to skip. i will keep up my yoga for all my life ...if i have job or not, if i have family or not, if i am well or not... will keep it up till i am not.......

thank you ISHA.

Sadhguru and Isha have changed my life in a way I've never expected. It would be a very long story to describe my whole experiences, but if I keep it brief then I would say it is an altering and non-stoppable transformative experience that is present in every moment of my life. Pranam Isha volunteers and Sadhguru, I am endlessly grateful to you!

I am so grateful I started Surya Kriya last summer. My back pain and life attitude all improved greatly. I also went to Inner Engineering recently. With more learning and involvement, changes are revolutionary! I am looking forward to learning more and volunteer for the programs!

You don't need to believe anything, you just experience and seek! That approach attracts me the most. And my experience and seeking lead me to dig deeper! learning isha yoga not only benefits individual health and life quality, also helps the earth and humanity because consciousness makes it a natural results!

I hope everyone comes to Isha!

I have been with ISHA for more than 10 years, it has been a wonderful experience and unique opportunity to realize self and universe,it also made me to know the value of volunteering and the joy you get from that,it is a unique organization to be with like minded people,I am fortunate to get to know and a part of such an organization.

Isha Foundation offers courses in wellbeing on all levels and pioneers many humanitarian and ecological efforts. This is an organization that can truly change the world for the better.

inner wellbeing classes offered by Isha foundation is spectacular !! Everyone must go for it once in a life time at least.

The yoga program offered through ISHA has been one of my best life experiences. I've taken the first two classes in 2003 and would highly recommend them for anyone.

This is led by a realized master of our times with intense altruistic motives. Every endeavor of Isha Foundation is sure to deliver life changing positive impact to all involved. If all you donis juts donate, be confident tht every penny is put to great use for the entire planet.

I am a Physician and I know of no other programme that does what Isha Foundation does. Burn out is a major problem in my profession and I was pretty close to it when I was introduced to Isha Foundation. It has been close to 15 years since I took the programme and I can say that it turned my life around. I went from wanting to quit practicing medicine to now loving my profession and what I do. I am enjoying taking care of my patients and I don't even remember what burnout feels like. The bonus is that my kids got a better mother and my husband a better wife. Thanks to Sadhguru for all he does. I consider myself very fortunate that he came into my life when he did.

This organization has given me a community, while offering me a chance to create and nurture it. Sadhguru has made it possible to have such a large organization be focused on their individual wellbeing, but to also care for and support the wellbeing of everyone and everything on Earth. There are innumerable projects set out by Isha Foundation, and it all happens like a flash flood due to the immensity of volunteer's love and willingness. I have immense appreciation for everything Isha is.

I attended inner engineering program. Everything went well. I think it's better to continue the practices what you learned in that course and stay away from the organization. It seems like everything started with good intention and now it's turning into spreading the fame and creating cult like situation. All these volunteers should take a break and think for once before continuing in the path they are in.

Sadhguru and his foundation have given me to the tools and inspiration to make the much-needed changes in my life. Immensely grateful that Sadhguru exists and that I was able to find him and his organization. I wish that others can find him and learn how they can better [inner] engineer their own lives.

Doing inner engineering program with Sadhguru this year was an experience I cannot even put into words. It has transformed my life for better. Since then, I have been part of Isha family. Isha foundation is doing incredible work in many areas such as education, health, environment. I am amazed to see the level of quality, management and service provided at Isha programs which is purely volunteer based non profit organization. I bow down to Sadhguru and all the volunteers of Isha for their commitment and Seva ( Service) to uplift humanity and bring well being, love and light on this planet.

The Isha Foundation provides useful training on yogic practices aimed at improving overall health and wellbeing.

My life changed dramatically and for the best after taking the Inner Engineering program one year ago. Since then I took almost all the programs offered by Isha. The way it changed my life I cannot believe it.

Such an amazing place to be in. The people I met here are also so amazing and down to earth. I couldn't really afford being a part of my first inner engineering program. But the volunteers here did everything they could to make sure that I get an amazing experience. Definitely one of the best communities to be in

This organization and its programs has changed our lives immensely.volunteering has also been amazing , we recommend inner engeneering to one and all, it’s true effects are only felt by people who practice it regularly and ones you get hooked on it you wonder why don’t they teach this in school like our Abc s. To be a part of Isha has been most wonderful thing almost like having a new born baby.
Only thing you need is your willingness.

Stumbling into Isha foundation is the best thing that could have happened to me. Reading Sadguru's lectures on Utube helped me a great deal, gave me confidence and changed my life completely .This is top priority in my life and it is for my well being and for those around me. I am indebted to Sadguru to his service to the whole world. I feel very blessed .I feel very fortunate to volunteer. Namaskaram.

The efforts put on by this organization have been simply life changing for me. Being able to volunteer with Isha has allowed me to solidify everything I've gained through their programs- and knowing it's reaching those that can benefit similarly... is simply the cherry on top.

It's been an incredible journey with Isha. I am continuing to learn everyday from the offerings of the Isha Foundation. Being a volunteer with Isha has been an amazing experience - it has provided me a possibility to experience Sadhguru and imbibe his teachings.

By volunteering for Isha I am able to contribute to everything that is most important to me in life. It is a blessing to know that the donations of time and m ok not go exactly to your Hope's and dreams.

When nothing could help me Isha did. It is an incredible organization with an even more incredible leader.

Programs and meditation practices I learned from Isha foundation created a fundamental changes in my life.
I became much calmer and loving at my work place. My priorities changed and thing that bothered me before lost its tolle on me.
I became more concious in my life and magical things start to happen for me.

Sadhguru and Isha yoga has given me immense clarity in the way I perceive things in life. Sadhguru with his vision for physical, mental and spiritual transformation has been contributing immensely to the mankind. Isha Foundation, under Sadhguru's guidance, has implemented various Social and environmental outreach programs that has touched millions of humans in this planet. Through Classic Yoga programs designed by Sadhguru, millions of people such as me has benefited immensely. I feel honored to be a volunteer of this great organization in spreading the good. Pranam Sadhguru

Best commited organization on the planet with volunteers willing to help out of Thier comfort zones with utmost humility. Thanks

Being trained by Sadhguru is the best thing that happened in my life.

I still cannot wrap my head around as to how they maintain such amazing quality of service with it being a 100% volunteer organization.

Don’t have words to describe this organization. What I learned from Isha Institute continues to empower me in every field of life. This program has given me a new life when I was at the lowest point of my life. Beautiful things started to happen ever since I started this program. Thanks to the volunteers who work tirelessly to make this program happen.

Isha is doing incredible things for people and for the world in many areas. Hope their are more organizations of this nature in the future.

Even though I picked volunteer as a role below I initially was a client served. Sadhguru I feel has figured out what 'life' is on such a high level that he has created tools to specifically give people inner well being. I will volunteer for this organization as much as possible.

How can I put into words, what this foundation and its volunteers have given?? I am so grateful for the practice; it continues to expand my life and how I experience myself and everything around me. Each of the volunteers have been such an inspiration to me! Thank you!!

It's been a sheer pleasure and a great blessing to be a part of Isha and their yoga programs. I am so much more aware, peaceful, happy and stable in my life now. There were so many things I was ignorant about myself and Sadhguru came in my life like an eye opener. I wish yoga can touch every human being on the planet in some way :)

A truly great organization which is dedicated to the upliftment of the humanity!

Blessed to be living at a time when this foundation exists. Looking to be more involved and hoping everyone joins to be part of the greater journey.

Fantastic organization. Dedicated volunteers. An organization that does so much work to raise human consciousness and for the well being of all on this planet. Involved
In so many activities all over the world from education, spritual and environmental

A true blessing to be a part of Isha and volunteering for a great cause

It is such a gift to know about and attend the workshops given by Sadhguru and the ISHA volunteers. I've even attended a business one called Isha Insight with some of the world's most prominent business leaders.
I've volunteered as well and love the joyfulness and willingness of this community. It's like having a whole other loving family.
I've not been to the Isha centre in Tennessee but I've twice been to Isha in Coimbatore. It is something I would wish for everyone for its beauty and the energy it endows.

Volunteering comes with this magical sense of empowerment and fulfillment.
Seeing transformation in people at the end of the programs is always satisfying.

Definitely very welcoming and local teams are always open to new ideas to make it happen.

Since doing Inner Engineering and other programs such as the free isha Kriya meditation I have noticed a big change in my physical body's shape, alertness, sleep pattern, youthfulness. My spiritual self is expanding into universality instead of loveliness. The price point for courses is very reasonable and the support afterwards exceptional.

Isha foundation has been working relentlessly for more than three decades towards raising human consciousness and fostering global harmony through individual transformation under the guidance of Sadhguru which I think will solve all kinds of problems we see today in the world. I feel privileged to be involved in this mission. If you strongly feel that you want to do something to make this world better and looking for ways how to go about it I recommend you to get involved in the Isha foundation's activity

The true example of non profit is when every cent of the incoming money is used to serve humanity. Isha Foundation manifests that perfectly. I am glad to have come across Isha two years ago. I have tried to use the organizational lessons I learned at Isha in my professional life and its very hard to create an organization like that.

The yoga training I underwent at Isha has been a life changing experience for me. Not only did it help significantly reduce my chronic illnesses (Crohn’s and Hypothyroidism), it has given me an immense sense of peace and stability of mind. Isha is a truly wonderful organization that can bring out the best in each individual- physically, mentally, emotionally and energetically.

The Isha Foundation is an incredible nonprofit that helps change people's lives through their meditation and yoga programs, works relentlessly on social and educational initiatives to help people who don't have the privileges that many of us do, and works on environmental initiatives to help preserve this earth where we live. I took my first program with this foundation in 2014 and my life has never been the same since. Practicing the yoga and meditation I've learnt through the foundation have taken away a lot of the day-to-day drags of stress, frustration, self-doubt and has made me live more joyfully. Moreover, volunteering with the foundation as been a profound experience. Working with so many others that are committed to the same causes is an incredibly joyful experience. I am grateful for being given the opportunity to be a part of this organization and move its cause forward.

Isha inner engineering program helped me immensely interms of physical, mind and energy levels. I appreciate all Isha initiatives.

I'm proud to be part of Rally for Rivers, an ecological cause to revive drying rivers in India. The campaign made an immense impact in educating masses the critical state of rivers in India. I am also encouraged by another ecological cause to reduce consumption of single use plastic. Encouraged by positive impact project green hands has made on increasing green cover of the planet. Overall, I'm happy with the immense impact Isha foundation has been making as a nonprofit.

I did my first Yoga program with Isha in 2010 and since then life has never been the same. My life started flowing like a river ever since. It is much more lively, much more joyful . Sadhguru is incredible, he transformed my life, made me a joyful being. Sadhguru showed me a different dimension to this life. Simply put it is impossible to describe in meager words. Isha has definitely transformed my life without a doubt, not only mine; but my whole family . I love Sadhguru and I volunteer and as well as donate for Isha initiated projects. Isha projects truly address the core issues be it rural education, health care, environment etc., and reaches the needy ; a true organization that strives for human well being as well as the well being of the world. I am ever indebted to Sadhguru and Isha foundation.

Umapathi

I began inner engineering in Nov of 2011 and completed my meditation program at the ashram in Tennessee. It has been a life changing experience. Meeting people from all walks of life who find peace and experience freedom is rewarding and life affirming. After 7 years of practices I still find a deeper experience of life in everyday moments. So grateful for the support of the volunteers and Sadhguru through u tube videos, monthly meetings and newsletters. Grateful for all the changes in my life due to working a simple technique each morning.

The yoga practices that I learnt at Isha Foundation helped me come strong out of a litigation that lasted almost 3 years. It was a very stressful time and I wouldn’t have made it without these practices. I’m so grateful that Sadhguru touched my life the time I needed these tools the most.

I am a therapist and I have benefited greatly from numerous courses offered by Isha Foundation (inner engineering and hatha yoga programs in Montreal). They helped me to see life and the world in a different light, and taught me tools to be a much happier person. I am immensely grateful.

Three months ago my curiosity of yoga led me to participate in the online Inner Engineering course offered by Isha which was a transformational experience. I have since continued to learn and grow through various Isha programs. I am beyond grateful for the clarity and peace of mind I feel in my daily life due to my yoga practice and Sadhguru's guidance. Isha's presence around the globe is a beacon of hope that yoga will someday reach and transform the lives of billions. Thank you Isha!

Words cannot explain my grateful for Sadhguru and Isha. I am more peaceful and joyful.

Touching another human beings life is what makes our life richer. That's what Isha foundation is doing...

I am a volunteer with Isha Foundation since 2007 after my first program with Isha. I have been fortunate to be trained to facilitate simple but powerful Upa yoga practices. Offering my time for facilitating the free Upa Yoga practices to members of public as well as doing my own practices have had a great impact on me. Isha Foundation is a non religious non profit organization promoting Yoga for the well being of humanity. Isha Foundation deserves to be a top rated NGO! Let us join hands to reach yoga to people we know as a tool to well being.

Very well organized and has awesome volunteers. Price is reasonable but i wish it was more available

Isha is an all around charity. They do everything for the wellbeing of the communities around them. They take any challenge and they have an army of volunteers. Everyone that is a part of isha is a volunteer, so 100% of all money donated goes directly to the project being tackled, whether its planting trees, reviving rivers, teaching the population to meditate, bringing school to underprivileged kids in India, or any other project.

Volunteering with Isha is always a lot of fun too. The work is exciting

Isha Foundation has far exceeded my expectation. The way they teach yoga, the way they explain and generally the atmosphere and the way they conduct all the programs and activities is beyond words. The whole experience for me and my family with Isha Foundation is just a big huge explosion (in a positive way). Above all, taking the Isha programs will make you stable, a joyful and loving human being no matter what you do. And stable people is the world missing today. And of course, once you start doing the programs you will forget what stress, anxiety, and depression are .

I got introduced to Isha Yoga from my dad and I have had many growth opportunities and joy-filled experiences from the practices and programs that are offered. Isha is a supportive and empowering community and I always gain a higher perspective and healing from the programs.

I got introduced to Isha Foundation 2 years ago when I attended Inner Engineering class. The dedication and focus of the teachers/trainers are amazing. They are inspiring to live our life to the fullest extent. I wish I always get to live in the association of such teachers/trainers until I become like them.

I started watching Sadhguru videos on YouTube long before I took the initiation for Shambhavi Mahamudra Kriya with Sadhguru and getting involved with this non-profit organization was the best thing happened. Life has changed for good and still improving. It is amazing to see so many volunteers making its mission success for the betterment of humanity.

Blessed to be into isha foundation. For present day busy life, Inner Engineering is the boon gifted by Sadguru to balance life very well. Sambhavi mahamudra is amazing , great beneficial to human kind

After 10 long years, I was visiting my home country, India. Before I could start my journey in January 2018, I stumbled upon Inner Engineering eBook by Sadhguru and I carried it on my phone on my way to India. Every chance I had I opened up the eBook and kept reading. It is definitely an eye opener and I have recently started re-reading. When I returned from India, I have acquired a bunch of other eBooks from the Isha Shoppe (https://www.ishashoppe.com/USA/downloads/ebooks/english) and read most of them. After all the reading, it was time for action, so I registered for the Inner Engineering Online (https://www.innerengineering.com/ieo-new/online/). After I finished the online course, I had a better understanding of Yoga and the inner workings of ourselves. I had started Upa-Yoga and continued everyday for couple of weeks, then I decided to attend Surya Kriya. Surya Kriya is really powerful and has even healed my chronic back pain issues. I have incorporated Surya Kriya into my daily Upa-Yoga since I attended Surya Kriya on June 16-17, 2018. I am always looking forward to it every morning before I start my day. My next learning will be Angamardana and Bhuta Shuddhi :D

It's great experience to learn Shambhavi maha mudhra. its live awareness program.

Isha foundation is a great organization that helps thousands of underprivileged children. It offers a lot a yoga programs that can transform people lives for the better. I personally have benefited a lot from the yoga programs that Isha offers and I thank Sadhguru from the bottom of my heart for this.

I am very happy to say that I realized what is life? How beautiful the life is? How to look at life? I had been going to the ashram to spend some days in India every year. It is a different kind of experience volunteering at the ashram. What else any one needs other than peace of mind.

Sadhguru is the best person I have known in my life and he is awesome! Thank you Sadhguru for doing this.

I have seen the impact of Isha first hand in India. They are run by a bunch of dedicated volunteers many of whom devote their entire lives to the service of others. Very honest and straight forward.

Isha and Sadhguru have been simply amazing, changed my life for the better in ways that I can not put into words. After some work with Isha, I knew right away that I want to volunteer for them and make a difference in others lives.

Because of Sadhguru and the Isha Foundation I have regained ease and stability in life.

I am Bala Sundaresan. I am so grateful to Sadhguru, for he is a key person in my life who changed my entire outlook towards life.
I learnt Shambhavi Yoga, Suriya Kriya and Yogasanas through his organization. However, I don't follow any. The one thing I always looked for his morning Quotes. I imbibed most of his quotes into a reality within myself and I found my life transform immensely.
The people around me are the wigtness to what I have become. From a depressed, negative attitude who almost life to a vibrant life that I am today. I owe it to Sadhguru. I LOVE YOU Sadhguru, immensely, immeasurably.

Love,

Isha and Sadhguru have helped immensely in my life! The yoga programs, awareness, and spirituality Isha provides are priceless. Sadhguru's contributions are vast and far-reaching. Isha is definitely making the world a better place

This is the most amazing non profit organization I got involved with. Run by thousands of volunteers, Sadhguru provides us with yoga programs for wellbeing that we can take home and practice in the privacy and comfort of our homes. Volunteering also provides us with an incredible possibility to expand ourselves. This is without a doubt a legitimate organization that put the wellbeing of humanity first. I'm very grateful I found it.

A life changer for me, 10 years ago. Thank you Isha Foundation and Sadhguru for teaching me the tools to help me lead a more peaceful and joyful life!! In sincerest and utmost gratitude,

Victoria

Isha programs have radically turned my life around in such a short time and handed me back the power to have a say in my own emotions and how I experience my life. My body feels amazing, and there is such clarity and peace within me at times that I have never before experienced.

The best thing which has happened to me till date :)

Thank you Sadhguru and millions of volunteers all around the globe :)

This is the first non profit foundation I am associated with and I am glad very first I stumbled upon is a great one. Every work I volunteer with Isha happens magically all coming together at the last minute despite the hiccups and hinderances. People are very dedicated and do things effortlessly that they never done before. Every time I volunteer I can see layers of resistance peeling. This is one foundation you never question before you do anything: "what's in it for me?". Because that's the way life is, sun never questions why he should shine day after day... This is one organization that brings this awareness to the people

Thanks to Isha Foundation and Sadhguru.Inner Engineering has been a great turning point in my life.
Bringing clarity, inner peace,oneness of the existence brings big difference in handling circumstances, helping out others. Has been a volunteer to make this inwards journey happen to as many willing people as possible.
Raising human consciousness is the need of the hour. Other worldly issues will eventually fall in place once at least 50% of people in all walks of life are conscious
A world full of love, light and laughter, Isha Foundation’s work is making it happen!!!

Finally a place where my money is working at its best for the human well being.

Everything provided by Isha is no less than life transforming! This is not 'another' organization so to speak. Sadhguru and others from Isha have set it up like this probably because this is the most convenient legal way to reach out to public with the offerings.

It was a life changing moment for me once i met sadhguru and got involved with Isha Foundation. This foundation structures a complete path for a wholistic wellbeing and everything is done with highest level of detail and integrity. One of the only place nowadays where you can turn to find answers and receive scientific methods of achieving a complete wellbeing.

Isha foundation and Sadguru changed my life. It gave me a purpose for self. To understand what truly self awareness means. I have a long way to go in meeting my goal which also unfolds everyday as I grow but Isha has a lot to offer in my journey.

Isha Yoga has bought tremendous transformation in me. It has got many tools to offer that can transform one's life and it has bought enormous empowerment into me to design my life.

Great tools and enormous support by this organization to many humans life interms of health, well being, happiness and devotion that needs humans to embrace.

Thanks,
Sandeep

Isha offers well planned programs for yoga and meditation. I have taken Inner Engineering and Surya Kriya. Both were spiritual experiences and helped me improve my own self-discipline towards a daily practice of yoga and meditation. Visit Isha in Tennessee for a deeply peaceful experience. Meals are excellent with fresh vegetarian ingredients. Housing is clean and quiet. Regional programs are also excellent.

Hi... Thank you Sadhguru for building isha foundation otherwise I couldn't know anything about life... I can only say Thanks to my guru but nothing else for his efforts... I recently took Shambhavi maha mudra kriya it has a great impact on my life and how to look at myself... Thanks for showing us the path in which we can experience the life the way it is... I wish all the human beings get into this blissful yogic experience...

Isha Foundation has been a turning point in my life. I did yoga program from Isha Foundation which helped me both physically and mental capabilities. My personal and office life has benefited tremendously. Thank you Isha foundation.

Hi,
I am a volunteer with Isha foundation. My association with Isha has brought many significant positive influences in my family(wife and me). Now a days many people teach yoga and talk about meditation, consciousness, clarity etc. but, no one really teaches like Isha. Attending Inner Engineering was like a blessing to us. It helped us to get out of that rigidity wall that we had build around us. We learnt to live in present moment, basically we started living life after attending this program. Each time I volunteer I feel like I have been touched by the grace.

Isha foundation and Sadhguru provided tools to strengthen myself all over. I am forever thankful! And wish everybeing is touched by yogic science as I have. I am happy and blissful. Keep practicing yoga and the SMP and you will see a difference in your life.

From a dull, lethargic and disease prone lifestyle, I was able to transform into living every moment with joy and energy! Isha foundation and Sadhguru provided tools to strengthen myself all over. I am forever thankful! And wish everybeing is touched by yogic science as I have.

Sadhguru and the Isha Foundation have given my wife and I a powerful, life-changing practice, that has brought much equanimity and health to our lives. We highly recommend Inner Engineering to anyone who seeks to find peace within themselves.

Isha Foundation does wonderful work in the areas of tree plantation, rural rejuvenation, rally for river and campaign to ban single use plastic etc.

Isha foundation has changed our lives for good and Sadhguru has always been a guiding guru in our lives.

Isha Yoga share me my life’s perspective and inculcated yoga as a way of life.

Isha foundation sowed Yoga into my life. Ever since, life has become an incredible journey unto itself. I sleep peacefully and days go in joy.

I got opportunities to volunteer with the foundation, and in many ways it has helped me break my own limitations. I never imagined that I could do so much activity in a day, that too with so much involvement! We need a foundation like this for everyone's wellbeing.

"Unified collective consciousness" are the words that describe working with the group.

We feel as though Isha Foundation is a guiding light for “lost travellers.” GPS = Guru Pathfinding Service as the founder of Isha, Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev says.

* Volunteers within the ashram whether full time or part time work around the clock with volunteers around the world to run the organization smoothly.

There are variety of projects running simultaneously both in rural and urban part of state of Tamil Nadu, all over India and around the world in many countries.

-Environmental project such as RallyForRivers - a work in progress to make water available for all in India.
-Education projects are many. One of them is “Isha Home School.” It is created to bring awareness of ancient culture and art back into practice for young people now and in future.
- Tree planting / forest creation in one’s back yard or community comes under “Project Greenland”
- Health care projects: volunteers educating and being available to treat those in need of assistance for variety of ailments.

The list goes on ....
these are few drops in the ocean (of Isha Foundation) that came to my attention.

• There are opportunities to be a volunteer/ donor in any way one can.
This is considered as most treasured chance as it gives a person more than what he/she expects.
When we volunteer it never feels like work rather feels like being part of a community.
The reason for this is the care, planning and amount of effort that goes behind each event / project.

For example : Mystic Eye Toronto and World Environment Day “BeatPlasticPollution” are recent ones that I had the pleasure to be part of. I have totally enjoyed these events .
During Mystic Eye. I learned lot of things ; how to handle public or learning product knowledge of items on display, be creative or be efficient and be respspectful while serving in Isha Shoppe from fellow volunteers.

• There are programs for career training as well for well being of people.

I had the chance to learn Well being program “Inner Engineering” and “Surya Kriya”.
During the IE program, the volunteers who organized were so caring, very approachable, welcoming and efficient. My 3 siblings and I and another family member attended.
Though we were students at the time - we didn’t feel alienated but rather felt we were part of it. Volunteers worked in amazing speed with their ever presence signature smile like “well oiled machine” the entire duration - which is a day and a quarter!
This is the atmosphere in every program or event consistently given by volunteers.
The experience was highly energetic, fun filled and fulfilling.

• The amount of material available for well being is so huge whether online or in print.

Online in the form of video / DVDs / Audio book / Apps. / blogs / news articles.

In print such as the most popular Isha Forest Flower monthly magazine in various languages / books that have collection of lectures and interviews of Sadhguru or excerpts from videos /articles .

• Many of the programs / meditation tools are in various languages as well as the media translated in multiple languages as per high demand.
We are thankful for the volunteers involved in providing these services.

• Isha events and happenings in our area and around the world are updated online and invites are sent out so effectively by volunteers. We appreciate this a lot. This is one way to get involved and connect with the community.

• Sadhguru App we find is a “Must Have” and very popular one for its user friendly interface design.

Sadhguru’s itinerary for upcoming events / Isha programs availability or practice sessions availability within our area / video interviews/ links of blogs & articles / daily Quote/ meditation link online & offline/ Yoga Tools - that is beginners’ yoga practices video instructions / Contact info for any questions and concerns ... all available at our fingertips because of the promt updates given by volunteers.

• We must mention that we receive responses to email or messages or phone calls and live chat support in a timely manner. They are always very prompt and ever so caring and very polite. Volunteers are very reliable in fulfilling our requests as quickly and effectively as possible.

What more one could ask for ....

We are very happy and very much appreciate the volunteers who work as one team.

•Two of our family members have been to Isha center in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu in South India. They had a beautiful experience by visiting temple and ashram. Once again it is because of the volunteers they were able to enjoy the visit.
Thanks to Isha Foundation - Non Profit Volunteers run organization.

• Isha recently launched healthy food products in their shoppe.

The shoppe carries media / accessories/ clothes / prayer items / household items as well as health food products. This is an effort to bring Timeless yet ancient “Way of Life” into practice for current & future generations’ well being!

This shoppe gives opportunity for rural area people to show their creativity and at the same time gives job opportunities!

• Isha is unique because it strives to stand for inclusiveness for all beings in the planet.

Wishing the best for their effort.

Complete non profit organization where any donations totally reach the needful.
I donate to Isha Vidya a division of Isha Foundation that takes care of education and food ,support for rural and the needful families children . I get a complete report card of the child's progress I am supporting along with a thank you note from the child I support. That makes up my day.

Namaskaram, If you are really want to break all your limitation, please volunteer and involve with Isha foundation

There is no words to define what Isha has been for me. Isha's mission for the world and for humanity is selfless and the real answer to all of our suffering. Sadhguru has so much compassion for people and it shows through the work of Isha. They have transformed my life and who I am. I don't know how to repay what Sadhguru has done for me and I'm forever grateful. Thank you Isha.

Namaskaram All,

The best thing ever happened in my life was getting introduced to Isha foundation and getting initiated by Sadhguru. The simple and powerful tools offered by Isha foundation has changed and enhanced my perception towards life and everything around me. Isha hasn't changed, rather it transformed my life. Can't thank enough Isha and Sadhguru for offering their life for human well-being and making experience life beyond physical limitations. Thank you again my dear Sadhguru.

Isha Foundation offers programs for well-being of everyone anywhere in the world by providing on-line as well as in-person sessions. It just a click away where each can transform and take care of oneself. The donations were spent on providing services to under-served regions as well as creating awareness of social issues that matters to not only to human-beings but also to the whole creation.

Here are some free online-offerings to get started with!
https://isha.sadhguru.org/us-en/isha-usa/isha-kriya//
https://isha.sadhguru.org/yoga/yoga_for_beginners-yoga_videos/

Isha Foundation's tools for well being have helped me tremendously. I have taken their inner engineering programs and have seen change happening in me in the sense of increased awareness, clarity of thought, focus towards what I really want to do and being joyful without any reason.

Awesome! The yoga i learnt in Isha helped me a lot in both mental and physical wellness.
The way they teach with in depth knowledge is outstanding , also they excel in making awareness in environment wellness and health. Another aspect is educating the underprevilidged rural kids with excellent syllabus, when you see the students you can feel the joy in them.

Hi,

Thank you for giving me an opportunity to express my experience. There are many yoga programs available at Isha Foundation. I took the introductory course Inner Engineering in November 2017. The yoga practice is truly powerful. Headaches are gone. Breathing is much more deeper. And , I had got rid of back ache in just 2 weeks. Also, the volunteers truly care for you. I will take the advanced yoga courses very soon. They also run a lot of charity programs and carry out environmentally critical tasks like dealing with water scarcity in multiple cities.

Thank you ISHA and thank you SADHGURU!!!!!

After i received Shambhavi initiation I felt like some divine software was installed in me. Experiences, like being peacefully present in the moment through meditations had been a struggle . But now it is so easily available to me. Now i can stay in that state for long time. This used to be my dream. These techniques are transformational. If you do them correctly you will always be charged with energy , with love and bliss, you become much more accommodating and forgiving. This is the alchemy that Sufis say "transmutes the copper of your being into gold", if practiced properly.

Ever since I took the Inner Engineering program, I started to experience life in a different way. Words don't give justice to what is happening inside me, but now that I've experienced it, I wouldn't have it any other way! I wish every human being in this world has a chance to experience something like this at least once in their life.

I practice Shambhavi Kriya that Isha Foundation teaches. I am able to perceive many aspects of life I never had exposure earlier. Really a transformation for me.

You need transformation in your life?? This non-profit organization is giving out tools that can transform the whole humanity turn inward and make life exuberant! I am so thankful for having volunteered here, will do it again and again!

Shambhavi and other practices have greatly enhanced my life. Learning opportunity is Immence with sadhguru

I had the opportunity to volunteer at the Isha institute of Inner sciences for 5 months, right after graduating from university. From waking up early for my yoga practises, to hitting the bed at 10pm - my entire time at the organization was contributed toward my personal/spiritual development. I am sincerely grateful to be a part of an amazing group of focused people, eating highly nutritious meals, exploring nature trails and deepening my spiritual journey in the condusive energized spaces at the campus. It is truly incredible to part of a foundation that allows for ones personal development through the service of others! If you do get an opportunity, or if you are capable of making your own opportunity - I would highly recommend for you to explore this possibility! :D

isha foundation is the place for inner exploration.

Its the place where you heart and life changes for achieving the higher goal. Internally what is happening within you, it can be only measured by you and it's your transformations. But as from the measurement perspective, my heart rate always you use be around 70-72 at rest( I wear Fitbit) after the doing a basic practice of yoga and Sambhavi Kriya my heart rate shows in 59 at rest.

There are many transformations, that will happen within you somehow you can only feel and some you will be able to measure and feel.

Your energy level goes to next level and keep going. Its the place where not only your body and mind but your soul transforms to achieve the higher good.

I feel lucky to be part of the such a noble organization and have seen and learnt from Sadhguru himself.

The care to attention and detail of the Inner Engineering Program is what touched me initially. The practices and programs that they have to offer have the genuine ability to transform an individual life irrespective of social, economic or geographical background. There is no other holistic, genuine and intense offering that is aimed at raising human well-being at such scale. In addition, their social initiatives are truly remarkable. I'm thankful that Isha entered my life!

A non-profit doing truly world-changing projects including disseminating powerful yoga tools for self-transformation, educating lower income segments in rural India, environmental initiatives galore including reforestation and saving rivers. The foundation is run by volunteers and all donations go towards projects. Cannot say enough about the wonderful things being done by this foundation and how inspirational it is!!!!

This is the only Non Profit Organization that works for raising human consciousness and also creating awareness about depleting rivers and reducing use of plastic and many other environmental awareness programs.

The program offered by this organization back in 2009 was a life changing experience for me. The attention to details they pay in teaching Yoga and meditation in a classical manner is phenomenal. I practice yoga taught by them every day and healthy life is just happening for me.
Their center in Tennessee is a great place to visit. Positive pranic food, scenic places, water falls, trekking, biking, yoga & meditation and many. A must visit place.

I came to know about Sadhguru and Isha Foundation on November 2014. By nature I am very suspicious (Though I thought I was skeptic), I keep listen to Sadhguru through Youtube and read lot of articles about Isha and Sadhguru positive and negative both. In fact I visited Isha USA Ashram (III) on 2016 January to just check! However, don't know what to check! Then I took my Inner Engineering March 2016, it gives me a different perspective to life. Then I attended multiple Isha Yoga Programs since then and practicing them almost everyday.

My life has changed in so many ways;
13 years old sleeping disorder vanishes within first 3 weeks of practice of Shambhabi Mahamudra
17 years old migraine almost gone
Without changing any diet I lost 35 pounds within first 2.5 months.
My eyesight is recovering
Deviate septum bone spur - recovered
So may more physical benefits I got and all happen without any medication. Even I haven't visited doctor in last 2.5 years.
Mental clarity, Keenness of observation and so on
The best part is I don't know how, when I look back, I see that now I am totally a brand new person.

I am thankful for Sadhguru and the volunteers, who gave their life/money/effort/emotion everything just for well-being for others. It is very rare to just give without any expectation (not even a smile) in today's world. However, it is only culture in Isha as per my experience.

Now I am trying to give back as per my ability as a expression of my joy and gratitude towards every living being in this world. I can feel the benefits of the practices being taught and I want others to experience it as well. My deepest gratitude to Isha Foundation and Sadhguru!

Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!

I am very grateful to Sadhguru and the amazing volunteers of the Isha Foundation for sharing their time+knowledge and for helping their fellow humans experience life like never before. The Inner Engineer Program is one of THE most important programs I have attended in my life, it is life changing and it has been put together with so much thoughtfulness and so much care. It is amazing to see how many caring people gift their time to the foundation for the betterment of humanity. I can not thank you guys enough. I am forever grateful, and I will definitely volunteer my time to this cause in the near future.

I am with Isha actively from the year 2012. There is no limit, if I am willing to take, I can take any amount of activity. Happy to see our activities touches other lives. It is not only activity. It is more that that. Throwing ourself fully and experiencing life.

I did my Inner Engineering last year and since then when ever possible I am doing volunteering. I also did BSP program, It's a great experience to any one who go through this program.

Isha is all about moksha. It does not teach not only proper techniques, but also gives practices to achieves higher dimensions. I totally recommend folks to take courses or read sadharu's book on inner engineering. Volunteer for this organization or donate if you can. Stop looking for another yoga practice or guru. This is the place I found to most authentic.

I have taken many of Isha's programs and have been volunteering (part-time) with the foundation for over 9 years. Isha programs and Volunteering for Isha have deeply transformed how I am each moment, making me a more joyful being. The Foundation has provided me a most wonderful and safe platform to offer myself to everyone and everything around me so that I can help bring about this same transformation to others.

I took courses with Isha Foundation and it had such profound effects on me.

I've been volunteering with Isha Foundation for the past 3 years and it has been a life changing opportunity for me . I've not only learnt so much along the way but the practices have helped me immensely in transforming my life in ways I could never imagine. What amazes me is the transparency and honesty with which people work despite it being a volunteer led organization , each volunteer who is accountable only to themselves and despite that the sheer dedication and commitment in wanting to take their experiences and share it with the world and making this possibility happen for so many others.

Inner Engineering course from Isha Foundation has been life transforming for me. I had hypothyroidism and it went away just by practicing the yoga taught in this program. Mentally there is so much clarity and happiness within me. I still have a long way to go. I am really grateful to Sadhguru and all the volunteers and teachers who made this program happen for me. Thank you Sadhguru and Isha Foundation!

The care and attention to detail that happens at an Isha Foundation program (Inner Engineering, Isha Hatha Yoga, and so many more) is the highest I have ever witnessed. The center is a place to unwind, charge up, and be in nature.

Absolutly amazing organization that spread true joy in my fitness and energy levels.

It taught me yoga, and now yoga is my life.

Isha Foundation is the key factor in my transformation. Inner engineering has given a new dimension to my life. I have been volunteering with Isha for sometime now and every volunteering is a new experience.

I have taken volunteering work with Isha foundation for many years and all these years are rewarding experience for me. I have learned many things from different people with various background and I am excited more in the coming years to associate myself with wonderful projects, Isha foundation takes up.

My life has changed in so many ways ever since I joined Isha Foundation! I am both taking programs and volunteering wholeheartedly, because I can feel the benefits of the practices being taught and I want others to experience it as well. My deepest gratitude to Isha Foundation and Sadhguru!

Isha Foundation offers programs that has the potential to transform your life. This foundation is the most needed in the world today, because it offers tools to engineering yourself the way you want and find fulfillment. We live in a world where materialism is too dominant and it causes a lot of problem for our environment. Isha Foundation offers a support system for you to realize that the source of your experience is within and not outside. They work on raising human consciousness and create a world more inclusive. I am truly grateful for what Isha has done to me, my life has never been so amazing.

Isha Foundation has changed my life, the people here work very long hours endlessly to uplift humanity and raise consciousness which is what is most needed on the planet right now. This is the best non-profit ever which has so many passionate volunteers giving their life to touch and elevate others well-being. They truly operate without trying to see what's in it for them. Pure selfless operations, I am blessed to be touched by this organization.

I think Isah is doing really great work for whole earth and raising human consciousness. As sadhguru mentioned many times "in is the only way out". Yoga is one of the way to become truly joyful by yourself.

I have been with Isha for about 3 years now and I can honestly say that my life has been much more pleasant and active.

I don't know what my goals are in my life but I do everything with complete commitment and dedication because of the discipline and freedom, I got from my practices and with the many volunteer opportunities.

My life has transformed immensely just being a volunteer with Isha Foundation.The work that the foundation does is commendable . I have the techniques that I need to improve and enhance my life and I am eternally grateful for that !!

A positive way to change the World individual by individual .

Isha Foundation continues to be a support for helping all in need. Whether it be for empowering each with knowledge that you cannot find in a book, to feeding those in need, providing education opportunities for rural areas, free medical care, supporting our environment through their Project Green Hands, to much more that may seem like a miracle in ones life. This organization has done so much and continues to amaze me.

Thank you for all you do.

Isha is an organization that I have been honored to support over the last 12 years. The Isha programs (Isha Kriya, Inner Engineering) and outreach efforts (Isha Vidyha, Project Green Hands, Action for Rural Rejuvenation) offer people from all walks of life tools for well-being and the possibility of creating a better life for themselves and those around them. If people find balance and stability within themselves only then they will be able to impact greater change in the world. Isha offers this possibility to all.

I learned many yoga and kriya based practices from Isha Foundation. I am practicing these from last two years. I have seen many improvements to my overall physical and emotional health. I have made lot progress at work as well. I strongly recommend Isha Programs to anyone who can practice and benefit. I have learned following from Isha:
- Bhutha Shuddi
- Inner Engineering Online
- Shambhavi Maha Mudra
- Hatha Yoga
- Surya Kriya
- Anga Mardana

Many health issues that I had from for last 40 years have disappeared in just few days of practicing Hatha Yoga, Surya Kriya and Shambhavi Maha Mudra. I have experienced greater levels of comfort and ease.

Ever since I've some in touch with Isha my life has transormed in so many different ways. Volunteering with Isha has brought a new sense on purpose into my life. I feel like I can actually make a differnce in this world by giving myself fully into every volunteering activity I've been a part of. I'm determined to continue my work with isha to bring this possibility into as many lives as possible.

The place is serene and a heaven on earth. The people there are so selfless that you would automatically want to give in more than yourself. Everyone there goes out an extra mile to serve just one purpose "YOU". With this kind of an atmosphere, anyone stepping in there would want to give in themselves into any activity put out there.

Over the past 3 years that I have been involved with the Isha Foundation my life has changed dramatically. The yoga and meditation programs have brought greater balance, peace and wellbeing to me. Working as a marketing consultant and in start-ups, the long hours and stressful work life left me very anxious, fearful and in seeking some sense of peace and joy. The yoga practices I've learned have fundamentally changed me into a more peaceful, joyful and vibrant individual.

The organization is of the highest quality, and run very professionally. Having worked in the event planning business I can attest to what it takes to put on a program. Everyone that I've been involved with has been well-thought through, no details overlooked, always putting the participants first. As an actively involved volunteer, I've had the opportunity to make grow immensely. Taking on new roles, being challenged to go above and beyond what I thought I was capable of. This has been an incredibly rewarding experience, and one that stays with me each and every day.

I've always been about me, myself and moi, until I started volunteering at Isha. I've always volunteered at different NPOs, but it was because "I wanted to be helpful/useful". It was, for the first time, at Isha that I learnt that volunteering can be an opportunity to simply do something, not because I want to do it, I want to help, but because it needs to be done. So the work can be anything from phone calls, emails, or cutting vegetables in the kitchen or arranging flowers, but it's an entirely different elevating experience when you place your ego aside and simply do what is necessary! It's a good way to change the world!

This place offers great techniques with which to to find more balance in one's life. I took their first program three years ago, and ever since I found such positive results that I went on to take advanced programs. I definitely recommend everyone to try this.

I don't like the word nonprofit anymore and I realized it after working for this organization. Everybody gets benefited immensely so how can we say it is nonprofit. The true meaning of volunteering and get awareness on what you do can be achieved without any attachment. I wanted to start a nonprofit being a social entrepreneur working with different nonprofits understanding the mission and goals doing volunteer work but nothing had a great impact like Isha foundation.

I discovered how satisfying volunteering for a cause, when i started volunteering for Isha foundation. Volunteering weekends from Local Food bank to National park cleaning has proved more enriching and a satisfying experience for me.

Psalm 82:6
"I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High."
John 1:12-13
"But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God."

I took the initial Isha program, and the thing is that I've been a christian all my life, hard core christian actually. I tried everything that Christianity prescribed, but always it never worked. I looked closely at what Christianity promises and says is the goal (see above). Nothing worked. Worse, almost everyone around me at church simply could not even make it LOOK like they wanted to be there.
Finally I saw that this is not it. I started to look at myself and inward to see what was even possible in this creation. I asked for guidance and it came, this was years before Isha.
After Isha came into my life (at just the right time) now I can see plainly that what the bible verses above says is 100% possible for me.
Sadhguru is the most capable person alive right now who can ASSIST people to realize what they, who they are. I say assist because I see clearly that it cannot be forced on you, you have to make it happen for yourself.

Isha Foundation offers meditation programs as well as social and educational programs. They have been founded by Sadhguru, a yogi, mystic, and humanitarian - who not only imparts yoga to all willing to learn but who is also a talented writer and poet, having spoken in numerous forums (TED, United Nations, World Economic Forum). The yoga programs run at Isha are held in the classical tradition - with teachers who have spent 5-7 years with Sadhguru, before being allowed to teach. Much care is taken to ensure that yoga is transmitted properly. Also, this is an organization run exclusively by volunteers - I am amazed above and beyond by their success and dedication and I highly recommend all of their programs. You can also visit the Isha Institute of Inner Sciences in Tennessee or the Isha Ashram in India, near Coimbatore.

BEWARE. Isha foundation may be a cult. Their teachings are commendable (they are actually repackaged buddhist principles), but they operate as a cult. Before you join Isha, or if you are a member of Isha, please inform yourself about cults and the way the operate. It is VERY difficult to realize that you are in a cult, but remember, it if looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it is probably a duck. Of course, Isha's first statement is that 'perhaps it is not really a duck' ... which is a classic strategy used by cults to avoid any labeling by confusing the issue with distractions and strawman arguments. Be very careful. If you are interested in Budhism, meditation, and yoga, it is better if you learn it directly, rather than through Isha.

It has been abt 2 months since i have been associated with Isha.The Inner engg programme has definitely changed the course of my life.There have been a lot of positive changes happening.Clarity of the mind & reduced stress levels have helped greatly in channelising my energies in the right direction. The one thing that greatly impressed me abt Isha from day one was the way they functioned...i.e. everything was so well organised & the entire credit for that goes to the dedicated volunteers.I decided that i had to experience this myself & i really enjoy it today.It gives me immense joy & i look forward to events when i can help in some way.I would like to thank Sadhgru & my Guru who showed me the way towards this wonderful journey..

Its been more than 2 years i have been with isha. its a blissful experience which i realised in isha and carriying it through my life. Life was never so easy before Joining isha yoga programme. Now life flows effortlessly with happiness and joy.

Every program has touched me very deeply. What has impressed me a lot is the way the organization works. With seemingly less structure, it still works exceptionally well at all scales because of the volunteering spirit and atmosphere at Isha. This helps Isha to deliver excellent programs in the community like Project Green Hands and Rural Rejeuvenation to support a greener environment and better engagement of the public.

Great people. Great commitment. Its inspiring to see so many people coming together from all walks of life contributing selflessly and joyfully towards developing social and personal awareness.

It's been wonderful to see the volunteers doing a very nice job. Their commitment and involvement helplessly makes me to do donation.

Very well organized programme and an extremely good group of volunteers were executing their jobs with utmost dedication, Isha foundation is doing an excellent job of developing social awareness amongsth not only its volunteers but also amongsth public. As part of the programme, free saplings were allso distributed to the participants.

As a volunteer for creating awareness among school children about importance of environment conservation by planting trees, I took part in the effort to distribute around 750 saplings in a residential area in Bangalore. The schools participated in the campaign showed a great interest in our initiative. The participation of children was so touching, and the enthusiasm shown by them was amazing. It felt great to be part of creating awareness about Project Green Hands in Bangalore.

What have been done by Isha volunteers in one of the driest area in India is just amazing to Me. 2.4 million trees have been planted in single year!Seeing so many people(over200K)working together as one is very rare in the world.However,much more people is needed to get involved in this chase,Im using woord chase because I dont thing we have much more time.Lets act as one NOW,not wait only for disaster. To find out more about Project Green Hands visit: http://www.projectgreenhands.org/ Thank's. Dennis.

Whilst at the Isha Foundation doing courses this year, I got very involved with creating large-scale public artworks for Project Greenhands. I was cahrged as artist in charge of designing the artworks, but the work was very dependent on other willing hands to do the actual painting and creating the works to draw attention to PGH's specific work to increase the green cover of Tamil Nadu province to 33% (the national target). I was very moved by the incredible willingness of the Indian people I met at the centre, who happily put their all into the painting work. It was great fun for us all, and for me to see how easy collaboration can be. Things are often a litle chaotic on the surface, in my experience both in India as a whole and Isha in particular; but like the apparent chaos of the road-traffic there, underneath it all is a fascinating dance where each individual seems to know what he or she is doing, and so it works in spite of appaearances!

If there is one organization where Passion drives people that is Isha Foundation.I got several opportunities to volunteer locally for the organization. Presently I am volunteering for their web team to devise and generate initial Social media strategies.

I was not an environmental activist until the day the volunteers of this project made me plant a couple of trees 4 years ago. Since, like many who went through the same experience, I became environment aware, and wish to do whatever is possible for this project to reach more people and plant more trees. I ve found some business partners willing to support the project and I am looking for more because although i cannot stop the industry carbon footprint Isha makes me understood that I can at least make them plant trees.

Isha Foundation is a rare and unique organisation in that it offers volunteering as part of spiritual growth along side meditation and yoga training, so it offers practical ways of integrating 'service' into ones life. I am working to help plant 114 million trees in Tamil Nadu as part of a culture change project designed to reverse desertification, reduce poverty and end malnutrition. The project assists the most deprived villages in rekindling the energy to change their circumstances, empowering themselves to become self sufficient again whilst transforming their environments and rebuilding their relationship with the natural world. I put down my career to volunteer with this organisation as it is the only one I have found that deals with environmental sustainability, social justice and spiritual fulfillment as one complete holistic whole. I have benefited in every way from the experience, and would reccoment to anyone wishing to explore themselves through service to others and deep internal exploration, to engage with Isha.

I have been trying to increase awareness of the wonderful work Isha Foundation's Project Green Hands has done. It is so touching to see the commitment and involvement of so many thousands of volunteers in the effort to increase the green cover of Tamil Nadu. I have specifically been involved with publicising the Isha Run/Walk for water, and in creating a short video for a contest. Seeing people's enthusiasm in contributing to a project that benefits us all is truly worthwhile.
