Data-driven review: this page is compiled from App Store data — the app’s real rating average and count, pricing, search ranking, and the developer’s published description (quoted, not paraphrased).

Its App Store listing describes it this way: “Connect with Sadhguru and practice Isha Yoga on the official Sadhguru App!” As with all listings, that is the developer's own framing — useful for understanding what the app aims to be.
This review is compiled from App Store data — the rating profile, pricing, ranking, and the developer's published description — rather than hands-on testing. We flag that openly: it tells you what the data supports, and our full editorial review will go deeper.

What Sadhguru- Yoga & Meditation is
Sadhguru- Yoga & Meditation is a meditation app for iOS by Isha Foundation, first released in 2012.
In the developer's words: “Connect with Sadhguru and practice Isha Yoga on the official Sadhguru App!”
Where Sadhguru- Yoga & Meditation sits in the category
By the numbers: an exceptional 4.9-star average across 20,285 App Store ratings, ranking #21 in App Store search for "meditation". That makes it an established app with a substantial user base.
Store ratings are not the whole story — they skew positive across this category — but a large sample at 4.9 stars is a meaningful signal that existing users find it does what it promises.
What the listing emphasizes
“Connect with Sadhguru and practice Isha Yoga on the official Sadhguru App!” — that is the pitch, in the developer's own words.
We quote the listing rather than paraphrase it so you can judge the developer's claims for yourself. Our hands-on editorial review, when published, will test those claims.
Where Sadhguru- Yoga & Meditation falls behind
Editorial vetting. Unlike Calm or Headspace, we have not yet tested Sadhguru- Yoga & Meditation hands-on.
Transparency of in-app pricing. App Store listings often reveal subscription costs only after download — check the in-app purchases section of the listing.
Brand ecosystem. The category leaders pair their apps with large content teams and published research; smaller apps rarely match that depth.
Sadhguru- Yoga & Meditation vs. the category leaders
The meditation app category is anchored by Calm, Headspace, Insight Timer — all of which we have reviewed editorially, hands-on.
Sadhguru- Yoga & Meditation's case rests on its user-rating profile (4.9 stars, 20,285 ratings) and its free download. The leaders' case rests on vetted content depth and track record.
A sensible approach: read our editorial reviews of the leaders first, and try Sadhguru- Yoga & Meditation for free if its specific angle appeals — App Store ratings this numerous usually mean the core experience delivers.
Bottom line
Sadhguru- Yoga & Meditation earns an exceptional 4.9-star average across 20,285 App Store ratings — real users like it. Until our hands-on review lands, treat this page as an honest data profile: strong signals, store-verified facts, and clearly marked limits.
