About this Place
The Isha Yoga Center, a sprawling 150-acre campus at the base of the Velliangiri Mountains in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, offers a serene environment for spiritual exploration and inner transformation.
Founded by Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev, it is the headquarters for the Isha Foundation, dedicated to fostering well-being through yoga and meditation. Key attractions include the iconic 112-foot Adiyogi Shiva statue, recognized by Guinness World Records as the "Largest Bust Sculpture," symbolizing Shiva as the first yogi. The Dhyanalinga, a unique and powerful energy form consecrated by Sadhguru, serves as a silent meditation space open to all faiths.
Visitors can participate in free yoga sessions, experience Nada Aradhana (an offering of sound), and take a dip in the sacred Theerthakunds (energized water bodies). The center also houses the Linga Bhairavi Temple, dedicated to the feminine energy, and hosts one of the world's largest Mahashivratri celebrations annually. Various programs for inner well-being, including the popular Inner Engineering course, are offered, along with accommodation for longer stays.
