Embarking on a Spiritual Journey: Understanding Inner Engineering at Isha Foundation

Namaskaram as you are enquiring for courses...

The Isha Foundation, situated in Coimbatore near the Vellangiri mountains, offers a wide array of programs to support one’s spiritual journey. However, there is no prescribed course. As a spiritual seeker, your willingness and dedication are the only basics you need. You can start your journey today by seeking something new and meaningful.

Inner Engineering - The Foundation

Only one course is required to enroll in any other course at the Isha Foundation, that is the Inner Engineering. It can be done at any medium-sized city, making it accessible to seekers around the world.

If you've come across Sadhguru’s teachings or videos and are seeking to deepen your spiritual practice, then Inner Engineering is the best starting point for a comprehensive journey with the Isha Foundation. This program can be done in different ways, catering to various levels of convenience and feasibility.

Different Formats of Inner Engineering

Inner Engineering is offered in three primary formats:

7-Day Classroom Course

This format is available across various local centers in India and worldwide. It combines practical knowledge and hands-on experience to offer a transformative experience.

4-Day Residential Retreat

For those looking for a residential experience, the Inner Engineering Retreat is held for 4 days at the Isha Yoga Center in Coimbatore. It is a more immersive and intensive format that allows for a deep dive into the techniques and principles of the program.

Online Programs

For those who prefer the flexibility of an online program, there are two options:

Inner Engineering Online - Consists of 7 online sessions offering life-transforming tools from ancient wisdom. It is a prerequisite for the completion program. Inner Engineering Completion Online - This program offers the powerful yogic practice of Shambhavi Mahamudra Kriya, building upon the knowledge gained from the Online program.

In addition to these, the Isha Foundation also offers some advanced meditation programs at its Coimbatore and Tennessee US ashram premises, for which Inner Engineering is a prerequisite.

Advanced Programs

Bhava Spandana - A 4-day residential meditation program. Shoonya Intensive - A 4-day advanced residential program that combines Shoonya meditation with Shakti Chalana Kriya. Samyama - An 8-day intensive residential program conducted by Sadhguru himself.

These advanced programs are designed for those who wish to delve deeper into their spiritual practice, and they complement the foundation provided by Inner Engineering.

Physical and Mental Well-Being Programs

The Isha Foundation also offers various Hatha Yoga programs for physical and mental well-being, conducted by trained Isha Hatha yoga teachers at the Isha Yoga Center (IYC) and local centers. Examples include:

Surya Kriya Yogasanas Angamardana

Given the current global pandemic, these in-person programs are on hold until further notice, with local restrictions in place. Meanwhile, seekers can still opt for the Inner Engineering Online programs mentioned above and use this time for their spiritual growth.

I leave the seeker with this wonderful quote from Sadhguru on spirituality:

"The journey to fulfillment is within you. The only question is, are you willing to look for it?"
