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.

Love the book, the introspection is really honest and deep

Really awesome audiobook, a deeply psychological journey through all steps of monkhood, that is relatable in a major way to the modern person

So fire- every chapter a true autobiographical story

Shri Shivanand bhai's delivery and his stories were utterly captivating. I absolutely loved this book. Thank you to my friend, Sumeet who recommended it!! This was inspiring, eye opening, expansive, grounding, and so much more. LoVE that I heard it in the author's own voice and feel to listen to it over and over again. Thank you Shiv ji!
