Isha Foundation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, the most common incorporated form for UK charities. It is registered with both Companies House and the Charity Commission, and must file annual accounts with both regulators. Directors (who are also charity trustees) have limited liability.
You can verify Isha Foundation in several ways. First, search the Charity Commission Register at https://register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.uk/ - every charity registered in England and Wales appears here with its registration number, trustees, governing document, and filed accounts. Because this is a charitable company, you can also check its filings on Companies House (https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/). Second, check whether the charity's annual return and accounts are up to date - the Commission flags charities with overdue filings. Third, look for the Fundraising Regulator badge on the charity's website, which signals voluntary compliance with the Code of Fundraising Practice.
Contact Isha Foundation directly for current donation methods. UK charities typically accept online card payments, direct debit, and bank transfer. Many also use platforms such as JustGiving or Charities Aid Foundation (CAF). If you are a UK taxpayer, make sure to tick the Gift Aid box: it lets the charity reclaim 25p from HMRC for every pound you give at no extra cost to you. Higher-rate taxpayers can claim back the difference between basic-rate and their marginal rate through Self Assessment. Payroll Giving (Give As You Earn) lets you donate pre-tax through your employer.
Donations to Isha Foundation are eligible for Gift Aid if you are a UK income-tax or capital-gains-tax payer. Gift Aid adds 25% to your donation at no cost to you (the charity reclaims basic-rate tax from HMRC). Higher-rate and additional-rate taxpayers can also claim back the difference through Self Assessment or by adjusting their PAYE tax code. Gifts of shares, property, or land to charity are free of Capital Gains Tax and can be deducted from your income for Income Tax purposes. Legacy gifts (in your will) reduce the value of your estate for Inheritance Tax and can lower the IHT rate from 40% to 36% if you leave at least 10% to charity.
Isha Foundation is based in Berkshire. The Charity Commission for England and Wales (CCEW) is the primary regulator. Scotland has its own regulator (OSCR), and Northern Ireland has the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland (CCNI). A charity registered with the CCEW may operate across the whole of the UK or internationally.
Isha Foundation was first registered in 2013, making it approximately 13 years old. UK charities must file an annual return with the Charity Commission to remain on the register. A long registration history generally indicates sustained operations and continuous regulatory compliance.

I have the highest reguards for this site and the man Sadhguru. This man really tries hards to bring truth and beauty into the world with great humor and logic. You can catch alot of his work on youtube and of coarse you can go to his site. While I'm a Jesus follower myself this man comes as close to being real as I have seen in my lifetime. I agree with alot but not all that he teaches. He's great to listen to to bring clarity into your life with respect to kindness of nature. I only with I found him in my youth.

His programs and offerings are really worth your time and money. If you are willing it is truly transformational. My life has changed after doing the inner engineering program offered by Sadhguru.

They offer on line courses/ practices but the WiFi connections doesn't work, they offer App support that doesn't work, they offer monthly on line support that doesn't work either, and nobody of the 11.000.000 volunteers around the world seems to able to help... So don't even think of getting IT support from them when needed.... It should be apparent to an organisation that if they sell on line training, things like this SHOULD work!!

The course seems to take a lot of ideas from the Landmark Forum Education and authors such as Eckhart Tolle and the like, but delivers them in a watered down and flamboyant method. The event felt forced and highly produced to appeal to a universal commercial audience. A lot of the focus seemed to be on Sadhguru as a personality rather than the teachings, basically if you remove Sadhguru from the course, the course would seem very dull and there’s not much to resonate with. This is an issue for me because the content of the course seems to rely on Sadhguru’s charismatic ability to deliver the course. I completed all the courses and dieting in preparation for the live event, and when I got there it was clear that most of the people who claim to have life transforming effects are already sold on Sadhguru before he walks in. They are crying and throwing themselves at his feet like a god. Speaking of which the audience is expected to spend hours sitting on the floor for the entire duration of the course. My issue is that at no point is there invitation for serious critical discussion with the crowd and the audience is encouraged to say “yes” or “no” all the time at the end of his statements which bates the crowd to agree with him. Although there is nothing offensive about what his saying, it seems very marketed and over hyped with a following of blind devotees who need a leader. I’m happy for the people who truly get something out of it and there’s no question that there seemed to be many people who did, I just wish I’d read a review like the one I’m writing prior to doing this. Go into it with no expectation and be prepared for a lot of repetition, slow pace in conversation in discussing basic principles of reality and accountability.The best parts about the Isha foundation were the incredibly attentive and polite volunteers / staff, they were gold standard. The location and organisation of the event was great. Then again, you want to ensure you had great service and f

Do not learn yoga online with this website. The problem is that the support system is not cooperating well. I am not judging the quality of this yoga, but the quality of how it is offered and sold online. REVIEW UPDATE after doing the YOGA program ONLINE.The experience wasn't good. The text-chat system wasn't working. I could not ask any questions. (Audio video interaction was not offered).All video of Sadguru Yaggi Vasudeva were pre-recorded (no LIVE).Basically, you pay for streaming video online without any kind of interaction. They claimed 273 people were online at that weekend. The cost of the seminar was USD 175.50% off for some people = 88 USD. So the total was, Approx. 25.000 to USD 48.000 for just STREAMING a few hours of video over a weekend!????????For that amount of money, they should have a better system = at least an interaction audio video, but no, not even the offered text-chat was working!LATEST UPDATE:They are working on a CHAT-BOT to answer question during the teaching online.I think this thing is going insane and too far.

I recently enrolled in a four-day camp with ISHA Foundation, but unfortunately, my experience has been disappointing. Due to a medical test, I informed them that I would be unable to attend on Friday, the second day of the camp. To my surprise, they stated that I would not be able to join the Saturday and Sunday sessions either.I reached out to request credit for online classes, but they directed me to the Dallas branch. Despite multiple phone calls and two emails to the Dallas branch, I have yet to receive any response. This lack of communication has left me feeling frustrated and ignored.Given my experience, I cannot recommend ISHA Foundation. It feels like a disorganized organization that does not prioritize its participants' needs.I strongly discourage anyone from joining ISHA Foundation. My experience suggests that they do not prioritize their participants’ needs, making it difficult to recommend them.

I paid the money for the app and had some issues logging in, sent an email to support etc… they deleted my account and are now not responding to my emails to support and have not refunded my money! Despite seemingly appearing to be about good intentions, I suspect this app is a scam and I urge everyone to stay clear! 3 weeks after paying for the app I still cannot use it and am getting no response despite multiple messages to support.

They're thieves!! Do NOT give them any money or pay for any service!
