Isha Foundation launches a five-day online programme called In the Grace of Yoga that begins Feb 10 and runs through Feb 14, with Pancha Bhuta Kriya sessions scheduled for Feb 13–14. The offering focuses each day on one of the five elements - the pancha bhutas - and pairs element-specific practices, guided meditations and Sadhguru’s teachings to help participants connect with and cleanse those elements ahead of Mahashivratri.

Organisers promote the event as accessible from home with the headline "Experience the Grace of Yoga from wherever you are." Program materials list several highlights: "Experience exclusive guided meditations and processes," "Participate in Pancha Bhuta Kriya in Sadhguru’s presence," and "Prepare for Mahashivratri with powerful Yogic processes." The Pancha Bhuta Kriya is presented as an opportunity to benefit from Bhuta Shuddhi, or elemental cleansing, "which would otherwise require intense sadhana (spiritual practice)."

Practical elements of the programme include daily practices that Isha platforms and affiliated pages have recommended as supports. Innerengineering describes Simha Kriya as "a simple yogic process to boost immunity and enhance lung capacity," and instructs participants to "Yoga Yoga Yogeshwaraya Chant 12 times followed by Isha Kriya." A third-party walkthrough of Isha Kriya lists the practice steps: breathe slowly while repeating "I am not this body" on the inhale and "I am not even this mind" on the exhale, vocalise the sound "Aa" on the exhale seven times, then meditate silently for 5-6 minutes with the face turned upward and focus between the eyebrows.

Sadhguru’s wider message underpins the programme: "If only you can go through difficult times with inner grace, every situation you face will be an opportunity to enhance your life." That framing links the element work to stability, health and wellbeing; Isha materials say the programme "helps improve stability, health and wellbeing, and also supports in opening up your system to higher possibilities."

Several names appear in supplied materials - Aleksandra Ratmanova and Rohit - but their specific roles are not stated in the documents provided. Key logistics remain undisclosed: registration cost, session times and time zones, the precise format for Pancha Bhuta Kriya "in Sadhguru’s presence" (live or recorded), language of instruction and whether recordings or follow-up materials will be supplied.

For practitioners, the programme is an opportunity for an elemental reset and structured preparation for Mahashivratri through a mix of chanting, kriya and meditation practices that Isha frames as accessible to beginners and advanced students alike. Expect Isha Foundation channels to post registration and timing details; until those details are published, consider the listed dates and the programme’s element-by-element structure as the primary guide for planning participation.
