Isha Yoga Center, Coimbatore

The Isha Yoga Center is the headquarters of the Isha Foundation, established by Sadhguru at the foot of the Velliangiri mountains, some thirty kilometres from Coimbatore. It brings together the spaces that define his work: the Dhyanalinga, a consecrated space for silent meditation; the Linga Bhairavi temple; the 112-foot Adiyogi statue; and halls for hatha yoga practice. It offers beginner and advanced programmes, yoga teacher training and volunteering, as well as cottage accommodation. It is the main place to experience Sadhguru's work at first hand, and the setting for large gatherings such as Mahashivratri.
