If you want to learn classical Isha Hatha Yoga in Sydney, you can learn it at Adiyoga in Earlwood, Inner West Sydney. We teach Isha Hatha Yoga in the lineage of Sadhguru, in structured workshop-style programs rather than casual drop-in classes. Students come to us from across Sydney, and some travel from interstate, to learn these practices the way they are meant to be learned.
What is Isha Hatha Yoga?
Isha Hatha Yoga is a form of classical Hatha Yoga taught in the lineage of Sadhguru. It is not a fitness-only stretching routine or a modern studio blend. It works with the full range of classical tools: asana (physical postures), pranayama (breath practices), kriya (energetic processes), and meditation. These are taught together so the body, breath, and attention are prepared as one system.
Because these practices carry a specific structure and sequence, they are taught as complete programs. You learn a practice in full, understand the order and detail of each step, and then take it home to repeat on your own. This is the classical method, and it is the reason we teach in courses rather than one-off sessions.
What programs do you teach?
We run several distinct programs, each with a clear purpose.
- Our beginner course is the starting point for people new to yoga. It introduces Sun Salutation, AUM chanting, a classical mudra, and a simple Kriya meditation. It gives you a foundation you can practise at home from day one.
- Surya Kriya is a classical 21-step practice. It is a complete process in its own right, working with the breath and body in a set sequence that builds stability and balance over time.
- Angamardana is a set of 31 dynamic yoga-based processes for full-body fitness. It uses no equipment and no external weights. The body itself is the tool, and the practice builds strength, stamina, and mobility.
Each program stands on its own. You do not need to complete one to benefit from another, though many students continue from the beginner course into the other practices over time.
How is it taught?
We teach in small, workshop-style groups. In a session, our teachers take students through each practice slowly and in detail, correcting posture and breath as you go. The aim is not to have you follow along once and leave. The aim is for you to learn the practice properly so you can keep doing it at home, correctly, for as long as you wish.
This is the practical difference between classical instruction and a generic drop-in class. In a large drop-in class, you copy a teacher at the front and the session ends when the hour ends. There is little room to correct individual detail, and the practice usually stays inside the room. In a workshop-style program, the practice is handed to you as something you own. You learn the full sequence, the reasons behind each step, and how to continue on your own. That difference in method is why people are willing to travel to learn these practices rather than take whatever class is nearest.
Do I need experience?
No. The beginner course assumes no prior yoga background. It is designed so that someone who has never practised before can start from the beginning and build steadily. If you have practised other styles before, you are also welcome. The classical structure will be new, and it tends to reward careful, repeated practice rather than intensity.
Where is it taught in Sydney?
Adiyoga is at 104 Bayview Avenue, Earlwood NSW 2206, in Inner West Sydney. We are close to Marrickville, Dulwich Hill, Campsie, and Canterbury, and we serve the wider Sydney area. Earlwood is easy to reach from across the Inner West and the city, and, as noted above, students regularly travel a fair distance because there are few places teaching these specific practices in this structured way.
Who teaches at Adiyoga?
Adiyoga was founded by Ramy Zach. Ramy has close to 20 years of coaching experience. He began a committed yoga and meditation practice under Sadhguru, and he spent four years volunteering at Sadhguru's ashram in India, where he earned his yoga certification. That grounding in the lineage is what shapes how we teach here. The practices are passed on in the form they were received, with attention to detail rather than improvisation.
How do I start?
If you would like to try it, you are welcome to come for a first class and a relaxed conversation so you can ask questions and work out which program suits you. There is no need to commit before you have practised with us once. When you are ready to continue, our pricing is straightforward: from $40 per week for unlimited classes, or a ten-class pack for $250.
