Testimonials
The symptoms of lupus, an auto-immune disease that results in severe joint inflammations and extreme tiredness, which have tormented me for 10 years, disappeared as if by magic, telling me that there was much more to yield from this program.
The gentleness of the teachers’ instructions has helped to open a great sense of willingness within me and changed my mindset from ‘I’ll do it only if I can’ to ‘let’s try everything.’ I was able to break my limitations so easily that a feeling of joy from within has blossomed.
I became so receptive through this program that it is, without any doubt, the deepest experience I have had since I have been with Isha. I am well aware of having received a wonderful gift and I am committed to explore it in depth.
