Samyama is an intensive residential program conducted by Sadhguru. Participants spend 8 days in complete silence with long hours of meditation. It provides the possibility for individuals to free themselves from the bonds of karma and purify the system, opening them up to subtler realms of experience. The program presents the potential for participants to reach heightened levels of consciousness and experience explosive states of meditativeness in Sadhguru’s presence.

Samyama is conducted as an 8-day residential program at the Isha Yoga Center, India and more occasionally at the Isha Institute of Inner-sciences, USA.

The nature of the Samyama program is such that participants are required to prepare themselves physically and mentally with a set of Isha Yoga practices and diet, as well as a certain lifestyle for a given duration leading up to the program.

It is mandatory to attend a Pre-Samyama Meet if you want to attend Samyama.  All guidelines to prepare for Samyama will be shared during these Pre-Samyama Meets, which will take place between 27 Aug and 8 Oct in various locations (indicated in the application form).

These Pre-Samyama Meets are common for all the announced Samyama programs.

It is mandatory to complete the following programs before you apply for the Pre-Samyama Meet:

• Inner Engineering*, including initiation into Shambhavi Mahamudra Kriya 

The following practices must be learned at least 60 days before Samyama:

• Surya Kriya / Surya Shakti / Surya Namaskar

• Yogasanas

The following programs must be completed anytime before Samyama:

• Bhava Spandana Program

• Shoonya Intensive**

* Also called Isha Yoga Program

Please note that the Samyama program capacity is limited and your participation will be confirmed only after the Pre-Samyama Meet.
