Our Mission

The Hatha Yoga Effect essentially seeks to increase understanding of the ancient science of yoga; deepening awareness of yoga’s true essence and making it relevant to the fast-paced modern environment in which we live. Coming from a source that is the embodiment of yoga, this meditative approach allows you to go beyond the body and mind. We teach Isha Hatha Yoga, a method rooted in the ancient systems but presented in an accessible format so that everyone can benefit from this deep yogic knowledge of the human system.

About Sadhguru (Lineage)

Isha Hatha Yoga was founded and inspired by globally renowned yogi and international best-selling author Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev. He first founded the Isha Foundation, which is non-profit organisation created to offer various yogic tools for human well-being. He has stated many social projects helping the rural areas of South India as well as environmental projects too. His talks on all aspects of human well-being and life have gained him international recognition leading him to speak on one of the worlds biggest stages including the UN and the World Economic Forum.

He started the Isha Hatha School of Yoga in 2012 which focuses on Classical Hatha Yoga or the physical side of yoga. This is so to reintroduce the most classical form of yoga which dates back thousands of years and bring back aspects of yoga which are largely absent today.

About Subhan (Founder & Teacher)

Subhan is globally one of the most experienced Isha Hatha Yoga teachers and has been involved with Sadhguru and the Isha Foundation since 2006. He completed his Isha Hatha Yoga training in 2013 which is 1750 hour course and attends further training every year to maintain the quality of his offering.

After taking the first Isha Yoga course in the UK directly with Sadhguru (Founder of Isha Hatha Yoga), his perception of yoga, as well as his perception of life, completely changed. He started living life with a different intensity and freedom which transformed his experience of life and further led him on a journey to learn more. This journey has led him to places like in India and the Tibetan Himalayas.

He spent much time living at the Isha Yoga Centre (Sadhguru’s ashram in India) deepening his spiritual journey. He spent a lot of time volunteering alongside some of the most senior teachers and monks in the Isha Foundation, developing his spiritual growth and experience. After completing this teacher training and initially teaching many classes on behalf of the Isha Foundation, Subhan created The Hatha Yoga Effect as a medium to communicate the true impact of Classical Hatha Yoga and create a different message for Yoga than the one that exists mainstream. 

He has gone on to teach many high-profile clients as well as in some of the most prestigious and iconic places. This includes the House of Commons and on stage at the OM Yoga show as well as the official International Day of Yoga events at Trafalgar Square and Tower Bridge.
