The Practice of Immortality

A Monk's Guide to Discovering Your Unlimited Potential for Health, Happiness, and Positivity

By: Ishan Shivanand

Narrated by: Ishan Shivanand

Rooted in the story of his own transformative journey, a monk and internationally beloved founder of Yoga of Immortals shares the methods he uses to help us tap into our unlimited potential.

Ishan Shivanand was born into an ancient lineage of yogis spanning twenty-one generations, and spent the first twenty years of his life in a Himalayan monastery. Grounded in the traditions of yoga, meditation, martial arts, storytelling, and herbal medicine, he developed the Yoga of Immortals (YOI) protocol, which is designed to help followers combat stress, anxiety, depression, and create healthy individuals and healthy communities. The Practice of Immortality shares these lessons and practices. ​In a world suffering the effects of fear, competitiveness, and anger, Ishan encourages us to take a step back.

Structured as a thoughtful narrative with practices based in the true intentions and meaning of yoga, The Practice of Immortality will help you achieve that which you never thought possible.

The Practice Of Immortality is a timeless gem. A must read and must listen !!

This isn’t just a book you read, it’s an experience you live through. With every chapter, I felt like I was being guided by the voices of ancient Himalayan masters, through fear, confusion, self-doubt, into something deeper. Something clearer. Something more.

I have read books on well-being and mindfulness before. But this one felt different. The blend of timeless wisdom, real life stories, and the Samadhi (meditative) practices at the end of each chapter became my quiet space, my daily healing ritual. And somewhere along the way, I started noticing… my anxiety easing. My sleep deepening. My inner strength growing.

Dr. Ishan Shivanand does not preach, he walks with you. His words are gentle but powerful. You can feel his own transformation behind every line.

This book reminded me that I already have what I have been looking for. The peace, clarity and confidence were always within.

A life journey of a monk

What a great way to listen to a book by the author Dr Ishan Shivanand.
Amazing to hear about his journey.

More Than a Book , A Journey Back to Myself!

The Practice of Immortality by Dr. Ishan Shivanand has been nothing short of life changing for me. Listening to the audiobook added a whole new depth to the experience, it felt as if the teachings were being transmitted directly to my soul. Dr. Shivanand’s voice carries a calm authority and heartfelt sincerity that amplified the healing energy of the words.

This isn’t just a book; it’s a living, breathing guide to healing, wholeness, and inner transformation. This isn’t just a book it’s a sacred transmission of healing and inner awakening. Listening to it felt like being wrapped in the presence of a timeless wisdom keeper. The Yoga of Immortals (YOI) practices especially the breathwork, sound meditations, and deep awareness techniques became a sanctuary for my body, mind, and spirit. I found in these teachings a gentle path back to balance, resilience, and self-love. Each practice invited me to remember who I truly am beneath the noise and tension of everyday life.

What makes it truly special is that it comes from the lived experience of a Himalayan yogi. You can feel the authenticity. There's no fluff just real, powerful, time tested wisdom delivered with humility and clarity. Listening to his voice while practicing the meditations felt deeply nurturing and grounding.

The audiobook has become a companion in my healing journey. I return to it often not just to understand, but to feel, to reflect, and to reconnect with what matters most.

If you’re looking for more than just information, if you’re seeking a true energetic shift, a return to inner peace this audiobook is a gift. I am beyond grateful for it.
