Isha Yoga - Inner Engineering Experiences

I recently took the 7-day Inner Engineering class and would like to share my experience.

The following were the hours and you will have to attend all days.

Weekday sessions: 7:00 pm - 10:00 pm
Saturday session   : 2:30 pm - 5:30pm
Sunday session     : 8:00 am - 5:00 pm

Financial: Registration fees is $290 per person but is reduced to $250(for married couples) or groups of 3 or more.

Pre-Requisites:  An inquisitive mind, healthy body and an open attitude.

Note: At the end of 7 days, you will learn Shambhavi Maha Mudra Kriya which lasts about 21 minutes.
If you are currently practising Shambhavi Maha Mudra(SMM)(after being initiated by a teacher/Guru) then you can skip the 7-day class.


Every day, the class begins with an invocation(prayer).

The Isha Yoga teacher then presents an hour long video in which Sadhguru talks about various aspects regarding Inner Engineering and Shambhavi Maha Mudra kriya

In between the classes, you'll have a small home work to do regarding 'awareness' and 'being responsible' and then you'll have an opportunity to discuss(share) that briefly with the class.

What I would have liked: I would have liked the Isha Yoga teacher talk about the video that was presented and give us(participants) an opportunity to have a dialogue. Instead, the teacher would focus on other aspects which are nevertheless thought provoking and makes you ponder(think) but I would have preferred having a dialogue.

Most Interesting Part of the class: Rudrakashs - these are beads that people can wear around their neck and these Rudrakashs are expensive since they only grow in places of higher altitude. Most interesting part was that these beads detect food(s) with positive energy, negative energy and zero energy(pranic)..

Bottom-Line: The videos by Sadhguru was enlightening. However, if you know the SMM Kriya, you are already ahead of others in life.
