Do I have to sit on the floor the entire time? What should I expect at the event? Is it physically demanding?

Seating arrangements vary between floor seating and chair seating depending on the session. If you prefer to sit on a cushion, you may bring a firm cushion that is at least 2-4 inches thick. You can purchase back jacks or meditation cushions for floor-seated sessions at IshaLife at https://ishalife.com/usa/yoga-gear. These will also be available for sale at the venue.


At the program, you will learn a set of postures (asanas) and breathing techniques (kriya). The teachers and volunteers will assist you, and modifications will be taught by teachers for those who are unable to perform certain asanas. If you have any medical conditions that require you to sit on a chair at all times, please request it in the special needs form, which will be linked in the confirmation email that you received after registering. If you can't find the link, please submit your request to support.ishafoundation.org with "Chair Request" in the subject line.
