"Samyama is a state in which you become fully aware that you are not the Body, not the Mind, and not the World around you." —Sadhguru

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.

Testimonials
All these days, I only read about peace or saw people talking about peace. But I actually felt peace only here. I experienced love blossoming inside me. During this program, I was able to experience total awareness.
“Samyama for me made me look much deeper in so many aspects. Every breath I inhale and exhale is just a love affair between this being and the whole existence. It is a wonderful experience to know you’re a part of everything. This opportunity should be created for every possible human being in the earth.”
This has been the most significant thing that I've done – ever! This has been an incredible opportunity, an opportunity you can only dream about.
