Anandam Yoga School

This Yoga Teacher Training was amazing. Both teachers were very qualified and committed to passing on their knowledge and wisdom. The teaching was authentic and so useful for my yoga teaching. Although I have attended several yoga teacher trainings during the last couple of years I learned so much more about the basics and the philosophy behind yoga. Thank you so much, Katharina and Sandeep1

I took the 50h yin yoga teacher training and it was the best I could have picked.

Katharina and Sandeep are amazing human beings and teachers. I loved the way they explained and showed things. I enjoyed their warmth and patience. I learnt so much during this training, and the pace was just perfectly balanced so the brain could take that much information.

The location was very nice, the surrounding nature was amazing and so peaceful. It was very nice to relax there in between classes.

The size of the group was rather small but it was absolutely perfect that way, it made it very intimate and comfortable.

I can only recommend anyone looking for a very comprehensive and authentic yin yoga training to book this one. Felt like a hug :)

L’apprentissage du vrai yoga authentique

A heartfelt thank you to Anandam Yoga School and all its teachers. Thank you to Sandeep for sharing such an authentic teaching, deeply rooted in his culture and consciousness.

Special thanks to Katarina for her captivating anatomy lessons and wonderful Yin Yoga teaching, as well as to Naveen, whose positivity and authenticity left a lasting impression on this training. Thank you also to Mink.

This experience in Bali was both transformative and purifying. Though sometimes challenging, it was carried by the sense of family created among all the participants.

I did the 200 Hours Yoga Teacher Training! It was the Most Beautiful experience! The teachers Katharina, Sandeep and Navin are really good teachers! I am so grateful i chose this School! I am looking forward for other trainings! I really can recommend this School!

In these 10 days I learned a lot, Sandeep and Katharina are great instructors, great energy also with other students and the people here at Serenity. Serenity is truly a little paradise in the heart of Canggu, Bali. I highly recommend this training. Thanks Sandeep and Katharina!

I recently completed my 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training at Anandam Yoga School in Bali this September, and I cannot recommend this experience enough. The school offers a deeply authentic and supportive environment. From the first day, it was clear that kindness, honesty, and community are the pillars of their approach, and they prioritize these values over profit. The small class sizes allowed for individual attention, and I felt truly seen and supported by the teachers.

The combination of pranayama, meditation, asana practice, and philosophy was well-rounded, helping me connect with my inner self and deepen my understanding of yoga. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and I feel grateful to have been part of a family-like community. If you are looking for a school that stays true to the heart of yoga, I highly recommend Anandam Yoga School!

De 6-daagse yin yoga cursus bij Sandeep en Katharina was een geweldige ervaring. Ze zijn zeer warme en kundige mensen. Ze bieden een overzichtelijk en gestructureerd programma. De cursus wordt gegeven op een prachtige locatie in de Eifel en ook het verdere verblijf is uitstekend; nette kamers en niet geheel onbelangrijk, heerlijk eten dat voor je wordt klaargemaakt! Ik raad deze cursus echt aan als je op zoek bent naar een yin yoga cursus.

Katherina and Sandeep are really loving and kind hearted people. They care about the wellbeing of their students a lot and help with personal und emotional difficulties. They provided a safe space for expressing difficult emotions that come up during the training. The food was brilliant and also the Lady who cooked it. The hotel was nicely located in the middle of nature and in walking distance to the lake nearby. I loved, that we had spontaniously a cocoa ceremony as well, when we mentioned that we would like to participate in one once. So they were as accomodating as they could be within the frame of the teacher training they set beforehand. They took the wishes and needs of the students very seriously and put effort in providing a good experience for every one.

Durch die liebevolle Unterstützung von den Teilnehmerinnen und Yogalehrern, bin ich über mich hinausgewachsen und habe mir Dinge zugetraut die vorher unmöglich erschienen.

I had the most excellent experience, joining this Yin Teacher training! Both Katharina and Sandeep really have a love for yoga, deep knowledge and a passion for sharing it with the world. I'm so grateful for this intense, healing and learning experience. I recommend this school to everyone!

Pretty much the best experience I had on my Yoga journey so far. Katharina and Sandeep are great teachers with a lot of passion and love. The course is balanced and structured nicely. I definitly will be back for the 300hrs training

The course was so great. Sandeep and Katharina teach from their heart with incredible in-depth knowledge about yoga history, philosophy and the body. I learned so much in these three weeks, it felt like a whole semester at uni, haha! The schedule was intense but it was always fun and the days seemed to pass quickly.

It was just a wonderful experience with the best people and best vibes. The teacher trainig was amazing, I seriously cannot say something negative. The accomodation is very special, like a little oasis in Canggu.

The foundations of yoga (the asanas, the anatomy classes, the yogic philosophy) were amazing! I really liked how it was designed: the program itself, the teaching methodology, creating an own class (hatha, hatha flow or vinyasa flow), the manual is very detailed and illustrated. The vegan breakfasts were super delicious!! It was an unique and inspirational experience. Thank you very much for teaching and sharing!!

The classes were rigorously structured, combining traditional and modern understandings of yoga and not just focusing on the asanas. This enabled a deeper understanding of practice and aided in our own personal journey and growth throughout the three weeks.

Our teachers were of the highest standard I have experienced, they really knew their stuff! They allowed time for open and honest conversations. Emotionally they were very supportive, always in contact whenever we needed them. Always with a smile on their faces and getting to understand us as individuals.

All the classes were accessible for all levels, I would highly recommended this yoga school to everyone wishing to broaden their understanding of Yoga in its entirety.

Thankyou to the teachers who gave their time!!

I loved the energy thst Sandeep and Katerina brought to the course. They were deeply authentic, warm, intelligent and so passionate about sharing yoga knowledge history and anatomy. I learned so much in such a short time because they made it so fun and interesting.

I searched for a while to find the right course and this one felt right in my gut. On arrival, I knew I was correct. They are real individuals and the classes are small so you get to have a personalized experience. It was long hours but totally worth it!

I had the most amazing experience with Anandam. I miss them so much already and all the amazing yogis I met in this course.

It was such a joy to watch everyone complete their first class and finish the course together.

If you want a true experience, learning from an Indian about traditional yoga and science and nutrition from a Dr. of nutrition and scientist, seriously look no further.

We stayed at Serenity Eco they had amazing vegan food and drinks and the breakfast provided was also yummy. Anandam rents out a shala in order to do this course for guests and this place fits their approach to health and wellness perfectly! In the end I came for a course not for a retreat holiday.

Some days we went down the road to the bakery, fold. The housing is slightly rustic but I was almost never in my room. The pool grounds and garden are so beautiful! It's a 5 min walk to the beach for sunrise and very easy to get around with a gojek if necessary.

In short, for those eager to delve deeper into their Yoga practice, particularly with some mixture of traditional Indian style, this training is a golden opportunity that shouldn't be missed. I will personally attend more training sessions with Sandeep and Katherina in near future!

Training:

The guidance of Katherina and Sandeep transformed the Yoga teacher training into an insightful journey. Their keen eye for individualized attention made sure that every participant was both challenged and nurtured. Sandeep's sessions on Hatha Yoga, especially, stood out for being the right balance of demanding and engaging, pushing us to new depths in our practice.

Food:

Our daily routines were punctuated with delicious meals that were both flavorful and nutritious. Every bite seemed to be crafted with love and intention, serving as the perfect fuel for our intense training days.

Place:

Nestled in the serene landscape of Heimbach, the setting of our training couldn’t have been more ideal. The tranquil environment not only amplified our learning experience but also provided the perfect backdrop for introspection and growth.

Fire Ceremony:

A pivotal moment for many of us was the ethereal fire ceremony. It wasn't just a ritual; it was an experience of profound connection and transformation. This ceremony encapsulated the essence of our collective journey, making it a memory to cherish.

Thanks to both Sandeep and Kathrina!
