About Isha Samskriti

Isha Samskriti is a unique residential school founded under the guidance of Sadhguru, nestled at the sacred Velliangiri Foothills, often revered as the Kailasa of the South. Surrounded by lush greenery, pristine air, and profound silence, the campus offers a life far removed from city noise and distractions—an environment where learning, discipline, and inner growth naturally flourish.

Rooted in India’s timeless gurukul tradition, Isha Samskriti integrates classical Indian arts, yoga, kalaripayattu, academics, and spiritual practices to nurture children into balanced, capable, and conscious human beings.

This is not just a teaching role—it is an opportunity to live, learn, and contribute in a deeply meditative and culturally rich space.
