What sets Isha Hatha Yoga apart? Our lineage: consider what it could be like to learn Yoga from the source, say from a yogi in the Himalayas, to know that what you are receiving is authentic without any distortion. Isha Hatha Yoga is that. Our practices come from the Adiyogi and the 7 Saptarishis and were brought to the South of India by Agastya Muni, the father of South Indian mysticism. Our programs are designed by Sadhguru the living master, yogi and mystic, and the founder of the Isha Foundation (www.isha.sadhguru.com), and are always conducted in a committed and conducive atmosphere, with meticulous attention to every aspect of the class. Isha Yoga is practised by millions around the world and its benefits have been recorded in many studies that show significant increases in concentration, mental clarity, emotional balance, energy levels, productivity, inner peace, and self-confidence. |

It helps stabilize the body and mind, thus eliminating psychological disturbances and alleviating chronic ailments. AUM chanting creates a powerful basis for further inner exploration.

- Sarah LAšuma silent retreatThis place, set in Lovcen National Park, is amazing. I could tell that there was a lot of thought and care put into creating it. I joined a silent retreat and it was just perfect. Accommodation is 5star glamping…all the way down to a plush robe and slippers! Food is delicious and the lounge area is comfy and peaceful. I'm ready to return! Highly recommend.
- Kate HAšuma yoga escapesSuch an amazing place! The location is so quiet and surrounded by green, all you can hear is birds. The tents are wonderful and attention has been paid to every detail - I loved sleeping practically outside but still in a comfortable bed. Food was also healthy, local and delicious. My retreat was only for two nights but I would have happily stayed another week. Can't wait to return.

Thank you. I wholeheartedly recommend Mountain Retreat Center Ashuma for people who want to find peace and harmony.
- Maria SWe have an amazing experience in Ashuma right now, September 2023. From the very first day being here is like to be in a fairy-tale: very special place, where natural beauty is connected with lovingly created man made space. Even the smallest details are so well thought, convenient, and ful of soothing positive energy. Tents are lovely to stay, and all other spots (yoga hall, dining area, chill out gathering space etc.) are planned and made with lots of love. Nice to touch, beautiful to see, pleasure to be. And last, but not least is a group of people who make all of this work. Their work is impeccable, they are always here for you in a very genuine, kind and delicate way! Guy, you are truly amazing! Thank you for everything you do.
