ShopJoint and Musculoskeletal Disorders Management Program
(7 days Residential program)
"If you move without lubricating your joints, they won’t last too long. On the physical level, human beings can be liberated only because of the type of joints they have. The joints are storehouses of energy." - Sadhguru
Who is the Joint and Musculoskeletal Disorders Management Program designed for?
This program is based on a sophisticated understanding of the body’s mechanics and is designed for those suffering from, or prone to, chronic joint and musculoskeletal disorders such as bulging discs, disc prolapse, spondylosis, arthritis, frozen shoulder, meniscal tears and ligament tears.
What can you expect from the Joint and Musculoskeletal Disorders Management Program?
Spread over seven days, this program is intense, focused, dynamic and therapeutic in nature. The program places an emphasis on classical Ayurvedic therapies which provide relief from acute pain, tension and stiffness, while nourishing muscles, rebuilding connective tissues, improving blood circulation and strengthening the nervous system. During the medical consultation, the doctors will choose treatment processes to address the root cause of your problem. This is supported by powerful yogic practices that activate the joints, muscles and energy nodes, bringing alertness, aliveness and a sense of ease to the entire system.
You will also be exposed to specialized advice on diet and traditional Indian medicines, which are easily implementable in day-to-day life. The program incorporates other elements such as watching Sadhguru’s talks on health and well-being, and spending time in consecrated spaces within the center.
The program also incorporates other elements such as spending time in the Dhyanalinga and Linga Bhairavi every day, taking daily dips in the energized waters of the Theerthakunds, participating in outdoor activities, indoor group games and watching Sadhguru’s talks on health and well-being. You will have an opportunity to participate in Prithvi Prema Seva, a process of consciously being in touch with Mother Earth.
Designed with Sadhguru’s inputs, this program provides holistic treatments for chronic joint and musculoskeletal conditions, which are seldom found or practiced in modern medicine. As with most chronic ailments however, the true factors that decide individual improvement are daily practice and aftercare. Achieving optimal results from the course requires dedication and motivation from the participants. To ensure you receive the best from the program, we will provide every possible support during your stay to help you on your journey to recovery.

Isha Yoga is a comprehensive system derived from the ancient science of Yoga to establish a deep and lasting personal transformation. It is a method of aligning your body, mind, emotions and energies to function at their peak and in complete harmony. It does not require any physical fitness or previous knowledge of Yoga and is easy to integrate into any lifestyle. At Isha, Yoga is taught in its full depth and dimension and communicated on an experiential level. The program includes Shambhavi Mahamudra Kriya – a powerful 21-minute process. If practiced daily, it will deepen your experience of life, enabling you to explore your own self and the world with a heightened perception.

It would be wonderful if you could participate. However, those with multiple food allergies may face certain dietary challenges. An individualized diet cannot be provided, as all meals at the Center are prepared in a centralized kitchen.
The program diet consists of wholesome vegetarian food based on Indian cuisine, with an emphasis on seasonal, locally sourced fruits and vegetables, nutritious whole grains, mild spices, salads, herbal teas and tonics, fresh juices, and traditional Indian snacks and savories. Ingredients such as milk, sugar, nuts, and wheat may be used in various preparations.

There is a mandatory dress code for program participants and visitors at the Isha Yoga Center. This is in keeping with the local culture, and also supports a more conducive experience during the program—whether for sitting comfortably on the floor, being receptive to the environment, or adapting to the weather.
During practice sessions, wear long T-shirts and track pants, or salwars and kurtas. Clothing should be loose-fitting, comfortable, and preferably made of cotton. Sarees, skirts, and dhotis are not suitable for practice sessions.
During the day, Indian formal wear is recommended (for men: kurta–pyjama, or pants and shirt; for women: salwar–kurta or sarees). If Indian clothing is not easily available, opt for loose-fitting tops that extend to mid-thigh and cover the upper arms, along with ankle-length cotton pants. Suitable clothing can also be purchased at Isha Life upon arrival.
Once registration is confirmed, a welcome letter will be shared with a detailed list of items to bring, including specific clothing guidelines.
