    East meets West at the Isha Institute of Inner-Sciences in McMinnville, Tennessee

     

     By Jill Dutton


    The Isha Yoga Center, established under the aegis of Isha Foundation, is set at the base of the Velliangiri Mountains in southern India.  Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev, often referred to as Sadhguru, is an Indian yogi, mystic, and author. He founded the Isha Foundation, a non-profit organization which offers Yoga programs around the world and is involved in social outreach, education, and environmental initiatives.

    At the core of the Foundation's activities is a customized system of yoga called Isha Yoga. Isha Yoga distills powerful, ancient yogic methods for a modern person, creating peak physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing. At Isha, yoga is taught in its full depth and dimension and communicated on an experiential level. The programs provide methods for establishing oneself in a way of life that affirms wholeness and vitality. They show that spiritual life does not deny worldly, social, and family responsibilities, but rather uses them as vehicles for personal growth and self-realization.
