THE PRACTICE OF IMMORTALITY

Himalayan monk, visionary, and mindfulness expert founder of Yoga of Immortals teaches readers how to reduce anxiety, recover productivity, and embrace change - by fundamentally altering their relationship with time.

"When I speak of immortality, I am not speaking of some mythical state, I am speaking of an attitude. I am speaking of a practice. I am speaking of a wake-up call. It is not about gaining more time, but about expanding your relationship with the time you have. And that is what I offer to the readers of this book." - Ishan Shivanand

Ishan Shivanand is one of a kind. A young, dynamic Himalayan monk residing in Los Angeles, he has not just rewritten the rules of modern spirituality, but devised a system of self-transformation through mindfulness and meditation. He harnesses the power of Himalayan saints and masters, cultivated by ancient yogic practices that he reshapes for the contemporary era. Told through the narrative arc of the Ishan's journey from ashram to California, Practice of Immortality blends Indian myths and legends with the proven methods of Yoga of Immortals, allowing readers to discover how to approach their world and their time like an immortal.

Born in India, his formative years were spent in monasteries, under the guidance of his Master and father Dr. Avdhoot Shivanand. Grounded in the traditions of yoga, meditation, martial arts, storytelling, and herbal medicine, he crafted the scientific, non-invasive, non-pharmaceutical Yoga of Immortals (YOI) protocols. The system of YOI is designed to fend off stress, anxiety, depression, and to create healthy individuals and healthy communities.

Since 2020, upwards of two million people have engaged with Ishan's mindfulness sessions on Facebook. His combined social media following currently exceeds 530,000.

Among the new breed of spiritual leaders, Ishan is a true polymath for our age. Not only a yogic master, he is also a contemporary youth icon and singer; an author of graphic novels; and a martial arts master of Kelari and Muay Thai. He speaks five languages (English, Hindi, French, German, Sanskrit) and is skilled in Ayurvedic medicine. As a performance enhancement coach, Ishan has advised major Fortune 500 organizations such as Google, Meta (parent company of Facebook, Instagram, and Whatsapp), LinkedIn, Boeing, Amazon, and Microsoft to help recover productivity and embrace change through the YOI program.

Ishan is the modern face of a legacy that goes back thousands of years. Using yogic and meditation protocols that are straightforward, powerful, transformative, and practical, his simple aim is to help good people become better.
