ISHTA Dinacharya Retreat with Alan and Sarah Finger — Daily Routines and Rituals of the Committed Yogi

January 27 - January 31, 2027

Join Yoga Masters Alan and Sarah Finger for an immersion into the living wisdom of ISHTA at their home in Delray Beach, Florida. This intimate retreat, limited to just 14 participants, offers a rare opportunity to study directly with Alan and Sarah and to experience the daily rituals and inner practices that form the foundation of the ISHTA lineage.

This retreat centers around ISHTA Dinacharya—the daily routines and rituals of the committed yogi. These are the very practices Alan continues each day, passed down to him by his teachers, designed to bring the subtle body into harmony with the rhythms of nature and the flow of consciousness itself. Participants will learn the steps of ISHTA Dinacharya, exploring how to integrate them into modern life as a way to sustain balance, clarity, and awakening.

The retreat will delve deeper into an important evolution in the foundational ISHTA meditation practice, ISHTA Diksha.   Alan will guide participants through an updated approach to the practice. This new layer of the practice offers both experienced students and those new to ISHTA Diksha an opportunity to deepen their relationship with the meditation and explore the practice in a new way. The teachings will be experiential, including time for guided practice and discussion.

Sarah will share teachings on agni—the inner fire and power of digestion—and the rhythms of nature, offering insight into how these forces shape both our physical vitality and spiritual growth. You’ll explore how to attune your daily sadhana to these natural cycles, cultivating practices that enhance energy, clarity, and ease in living.

Days will include guided asana and meditation classes, lectures, and informal discussions, interwoven with nourishing Ayurvedic meals and quiet time for rest and reflection. As always, Alan and Sarah create a loving, grounded environment where this ancient wisdom is made accessible, experiential, and alive.

Whether you are looking to establish a more integrated daily practice, deepen your meditation, refine your intuitive understanding of the subtle body, or reconnect with the inner rhythm that links you to the cosmos, this retreat offers a rare opportunity to study within the living transmission of ISHTA.

Step inside—and return home to yourself.
