What Practitioners Say

I would like to share my experience with Isha yoga, particularly Surya Kriya and Angamardana that I have been doing for last few months. In addition to other health benefits regarding hypertension and diabetes, I was amazed to find another change. I suffer from psoriasis on my right hand since last 4 years, and as most of you must be aware, it's considered to be incurable. I have been living with the embarrassment and that too a part of the body that's visible to all, and the fact that I am a dentist makes the embarrassment all the more acute. I have had a total of 6 patches of psoriasis on my right hand, and today I noticed that two of them are almost healed, I could feel the new UNBROKEN skin at the site of two patches. Meanwhile, the rest four of them are yet to heal, but just the sight of those two patches that have healed, brought tears to my eyes. As we know, psoriasis is caused due to stress in addition to other factors, I attribute the healing to the Hatha Yoga practices that have immensely brought down my stress levels. The journey is wonderful! Thank you Sadhguru!

I have gone through Surya Kriya and Angamardana training. I have experienced some physical and psychological transformation, these are below: 1. I have lost 5-6 kg weight without any dieting only due to yogic Sadhana. 2. From last few years I have little backache problem when long traveling or long sitting occurs but in last 3 months it is pretty settled even when I am traveling the whole day with luggage or with continued sitting. 3. The body is experiencing more strength and flexibility and I am feeling more command on my body 4. But the ultimate change is at the level of my mind. I am more stable, focused and self-directed. 5. Energy level is high and sleeping hours have reduced while working hours have increased. Thanks, Sadhguru.

I woke up one day to find that half of my eyebrow and eyelashes on the left side of my face had dropped. It felt so weird and it really made me very sad. I thought it could be some insect bite or some allergy reaction and left it as it is. I started using a brow pencil to cover the area when I go out. It was when I went to my hairdresser and she noticed a patch of my hair was also balded on the back of my head. It was like a lump of hair had just fallen off. My hairdresser suspected it could be caused by vitamin deficiency, which I then could relate to as I was diagnosed with B12 deficiency a few years back. Meanwhile when I was talking to my close friend who was also a Hatha Yoga teacher, she mentioned about Shanmukhi mudra, which I was immediately drawn to its name, which reminds me of Lord Muruga's another name, Shanmuga. I started practising and realized the hair growth at the affected area. I was drawing my brows with pencil for close to 3 months before I started the kriya. But upon starting the practices, I can say I dropped the eyebrow cover up in a month's time. My hair, eyebrows and eyelashes are back to normal now, even more thick and strong now. My pranams and gratitude to Sadhguru and Hatha Yoga school for making this possible.
