Isha Yoga programs are a ‘live’ process—an inner exploration of the very essence of life. Sadhguru’s Inner Engineering class introduces to the public Shambhavi Maha Mudra, an ancient yogic "kriya" (inner energy process) devised by legendary yogis to attain to an unwavering state of inner calm and precision clarity.
According to Sadhguru, the ancient yogic discipline is largely misunderstood. As Sadhguru explains it, the types of yoga we are now so familiar with in the West are each just a small part of an extensive science gleaned from thousands of years of rigorous inner observation. In fact, the asanas, or physical postures of yoga, were traditionally just a preparatory practice for subtler, more potent techniques. These more potent techniques impart a deep understanding of one’s own body, mind and emotions and confer keen perception and control over even the subtlest aspects of one’s own life, including the complex energy system of the human form. This discrete mastery gives a self-realized yogi a moment-to-moment conscious choice of his inner experience of life.
“Everything you go through is just a certain expression of your energy,” Sadhguru explained in a recent talk. “Right now you’re angry—it’s a certain expression of your energy. You’re happy—it’s another expression of your energy. You’re loving— it’s another expression of the same energy. If you have some mastery over your own energies…you will see, you will naturally become a joyous being because now your energies find a conscious expression.”
Sadhguru’s Inner Engineering class features interactive discussion, meditation, and a balanced set of simple, but powerful yoga practices. (No agility or prior experience with yoga or meditation is needed to participate.) Through the Inner Engineering program, Sadhguru introduces to the public for the first time Shambhavi Maha Mudra, an ancient yogic “kriya” (inner energy process) devised by legendary yogis to attain to an unwavering state of inner calm and precision clarity. Together the program and practice create a foundation of total wellbeing allowing one to tap the wealth of vibrant life within.
