Tiger Woods, Muhammad Ali, Jimmy Connors, Nolan Ryan, Don Sutton, The L.A. Lakers, 2008 Gold Medalist Steve Hooker, Wayne Gretzky, The Chicago White Sox, Greg Louganis, and more.

Inner Engineering

Inner Engineering program is offered as an intensive program for personal growth establishing the possibility to explore the higher dimensions of life and offers tools to re-engineer one's self through the inner science of yoga.This program offers keys for meaningful and fulfilling relationships at work, home, community, and most importantly, within one's self. The main focus is in establishing an absolute inner foundation within oneself.

Inner Engineering is a synthesis of holistic sciences to help establish a deep inner foundation. By addressing this, both physical and mental well being is also addressed. It helps the participants find the necessary balance between the challenges of a hectic day to day life and the inner longing for peace and well being through the simple but powerful processes from the yogic sciences.

Program components include guided meditations and transmission of the “Shambhavi Maha Mudra” practice. When practiced on a regular basis, this science has the potential to enhance one's experience of life on many levels.

You can watch a short introductory video about Inner Engineering, by Sadhguru, the founder of Isha foundation which offers the program, here: www.ishafoundation.org…

To know more about the program, please see our web page at Inner Engineering: www.ishafoundation.org…

In this class, you’ll learn:

- How to structure low (even 0%) interest financing
- How to EARN $10k – 30k or more on the day you BUY the house
- How to make ANY house cash flow…(yes, that’s positive cash flow)
- How to give your seller more than their asking price and turn a huge profit

Over 25 years ago, Miss Holliday’s show-stopping, heart-wrenching performance of the torch ballad “And I’m Telling You, I’m Not Going” in the smash hit Broadway musical, Dreamgirls, made her a household name and introduced her big soulful voice to the world.
