This is what Jim H. Broom, M.D., Psychiatrist, Sewanee, Tennessee, has to say about Isha Yoga:”Isha Yoga gives a clear, step-by-step methodology that leads one to new understandings and ways of being. One’s intuition and ability to choose what is healthy for oneself steadily increases with performance of the meditative practices given. Negative self-defeating patterns and life-long anxieties simply drop away from one with the understanding, practices, and natural motivation gained through the Isha Yoga program.”
Barry Taylor, M.D. Dayton, Ohio: Most people in the west understand yoga as primarily a physical exercise for the body. I personally consider the physical benefits of Isha Yoga to be a side effect. The main benefit is control of one’s inner energy and achieving a very deep state of relaxation. This is a very sure way for a person to be free from tension.
“The following is what others say about how Isha Yoga has benefited them:Isha Yoga has made me see the world through new eyes. My heart is softer, my body lighter and I truly appreciate each moment that I am alive – Margie Mercer, Hatha Yoga Teacher, Los Angeles, California “My experience with Isha Yoga as a participant and volunteer has set me free from the torment of my intellectual mind. Anything in the outer world can happen to me & not disturb the deep inner peace & joy instilled in me by the program.
I now know how to solve problems from within using my consciousness and understand how this manifests in my outer world. Sadhguru gave me the greatest gift of my life…the opportunity to soar like an eagle without clipped wings. His words have stuck with me through all times….’good if you do & very good if you don’t.’ What a burden this has lifted!
There are no words to describe a knowing, but with deep & humble gratitude I thank you. My only wish is that all humanity gets a chance to be touched by this great Master on some level. Respectfully submitted & deeply touched – Lori A. Fina, Respite Provider for the Mentally Retarded & Developmentally Disabled Columbus, Ohio”As someone who is quite cynical, skeptical and jaded I don’t take readily to these types of programs.
From the moment I saw Sadhguru on a video I felt an immediate kinship. He was saying things I’ve always believed in my own heart but had never thought anyone else believed. I have been down many spiritual avenues but nothing has affected me like Isha Yoga. It has enabled me to overcome serious depression without medication and a 3-pack, 30-year cigarette habit with NO withdrawal or cravings. My friends call it a miracle.
It has enabled me to stay away from drugs and alcohol (a former problem), to clean up my diet and exercise. It has given me back the hope that I had lost for our life here.I have experienced divine love and peace and cried tears of joy for the first time. It has deepened and changed me in such profound ways that I cannot express. Isha is a miracle and a blessing and Sadhguru is a savior.Isha could truly change the world if people would allow it.-Kenny Mullins, Nashville, Tennessee
“Within six months following the Isha Yoga program, I started noticing that I felt really good for the first time in years. Today, I continue my pranayama practices and meditation each day and I feel great! I have a barrel of energy and I am excited to get up in the morning. My health has been completely transformed.
The hyperthyroidism is almost completely gone. The fibromyalgia is gone. The queasy stomach is gone. The allergies are 90% gone. I have endured years of frustrating and painful symptoms. Today, they are all gone. As incredible as this health transformation has been, it is only a small part of my benefit from Isha Yoga. Isha Yoga and Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev have changed my whole life in such a profound way. Today, I can say I am “cruising at a higher altitude”-there are very few obstacles between what I feel like achieving and making it happen. Not much bothers me anymore. My mind is quieting down and my heart is opening. I find myself wanting to live a life that contributes, rather than one that only pursues ego gratification and comfort. I am excited to be alive.-Cheryl Simoni, Atlanta, Georgia
