The word Yoga is derived from the Sanskrit word ‘yuj’, meaning union. Yoga is an ancient practice that unites mind, body and soul not only through physical practice (asanas), but by following certain social and personal rules; as well as with the help of pranayama and meditation; and adherence to a plant based diet, with the ultimate goal of Samadhi, reaching a state of Enlightenment. With Yoga we can access our body, mind and spirit on different levels and can improve our physical, mental and spiritual well-being.

Anandam Yoga School is situated in quiet, peaceful locations in the nature. We offer Yoga Teacher Trainings and Retreats worldwide. The place of practice is very important for us as the energy of a place has a strong effect on our well-being.

Traditional yogic teachings are the foundation of all our courses and we combine them with modern approaches to guarantee a safe and joyful Yoga practice. We believe that an authentic and genuine teaching style is essential to understand real Yoga.

Our interdisciplinary team of Yoga teachers will guide and support you on your individual Yoga journey. They have studied in different ashrams and universities and are each masters in their field of study. They are happy to share their knowledge.

For us nutritious food and pure drinking water are essential. We offer three yogic meals made with fresh and local ingredients, prepared with love and passion. We believe that it is important to handle food with care so that it can nourish body and mind.

The average adult sits 6.5 hours per day. Back pain, poor body posture and chronic diseases are the results. For a healthy and long life proper body alignment is essential. Yoga asanas keep your spine young, flexible and strong and improves posture.

Including asana, pranayama and meditation practice into your daily routine can improve your mental health. Soon you will feel more relaxed in stressful situations and generally more resilient, reaching a state of mental clarity and calmness.

Forgiving yourself and others is a fundamental quality to live a fulfilled life. Living in the past and holding onto grief stops you on your way towards a happy and peaceful life. Special meditation techniques can support your self-healing process.

A wide range of Yoga practices provide a natural way to reduces anxiety and depression. Self-soothing techniques like Yoga Nidra lower symptoms of anxiety. Balancing and stimulating pranayama techniques can be implemented in depression therapy.

Both, strength and flexibility are the foundation of a healthy body. Unique combinations of asanas target physical strength and mobility, and build the ground for a healthy body that accommodates a healthy mind.

Knowing that you are neither your thoughts nor your emotions. Knowing that you are the consciousness that observes the mind. Knowing that you are the True Self. Cultivating a deep practice of Yoga brings you closer to your essence, your True Nature.

Navin and Ming guided us through the course and shared their valuable yoga experience and knowledge with us. Katharina’s anatomy classes perfectly linked the facts to the yoga practice. She also provided a detailed and very well- structured course manual which I still keep consulting. I enjoyed the course very much, could improve my own practice, deepen my knowledge and prepare myself for a step forward to become a yoga teacher. I am thinking of doing some other training courses with Anadam Yoga School in the future. Thank you, Anandam Yoga School team:-)Posted on Divya ramburnTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I completed my 200h YTT in 2025, and it was truly a transformative experience. While the classes sometimes felt overwhelming, everything gradually fell into place, and the journey continues well beyond the training itself. A heartfelt thank you to the teachers who made this possible: ✨ Navin, for teaching from his heart, his ability to break down asanas and provide encouragement when it got tough. ✨ Katharina and Bhavna, for making anatomy classes engaging and accessible. The training was more than getting stronger physically - it was wholesome and encouraged self-discovery and inner growth.Posted on Suzanne TimmermansTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an incredibly beautiful week at Heimbach in Germany while taking part in the Yoga Nidra Teacher Training. Sandeep and Katharina are very good and really nice teachers with a lot of knowledge of and experience with authentic yoga. I am happy that they shared this with me and I feel that this made me grow in my yoga path. This, added to the positive atmosphere they created during the training, made this week an unforgettable experience!Posted on yoga meedoenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a wonderful week of yoga Nidra teacher training at Heimbach in Germany. Beautiful location located in the green hills of the Eifel. Learning from Sandeep and Katharina was very precious, they have so much knowledge about and experience with what true yoga is. And they create such a nice athmosphere with their beautiful personalities as well! I had an amazing week!Posted on Sophie PlatzerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. J’ai suivi en avril 2025 la formation de 200 heures avec Navin, Ming et Katerina et j’en ai eu une expérience très positive. Les cours de yoga de Navin et Ming m’ont aidé à progresser dans les postures. Merci à Katherina pour ses cours d’anatomie compréhensibles pour des élèves dont l’anglais n’est pas la langue maternelle. Je ne peux que recommander cette formation pour toute personne qui souhaite approfondir ses connaissances sur le yoga dans le but ou pas de l’enseigner.Posted on Corin SeahTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had the most wonderful experience with Anandam Yoga School! I enrolled myself for the 200hours yoga teacher training course in April 2025 and it was the most transformative experience I had so far. Navin and Ming gave us alot of guidance in asanas practices and the long history of yoga. Also Katharina provided us with an in-depth knowledge about human anatomy. I will definitely enrol myself with Anandam yoga school in the future to enrich myself!Posted on Emma LemaitreTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. J’ai réalisé le 200h YTT avec Anandam à Bali. L’expérience était extraordinaire et très enrichissante. Les profs sont supers. Au-delà de la formation, j’ai beaucoup appris sur moi même, pris confiance en moi et en mes capacités. Je pense faire le 300h YTT également avec cet organisme !Posted on Bhawna SharmaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a beautiful experience at Anandam Yoga School. Naveen, Katharina and Sandeep were wonderful teachers. They are so kind and always allow for an atmosphere to feel safe in your vulnerability. The YTT is always an experience where people are learning and growing physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. My yoga teachers always allowed for this growth whilst supporting us when we made mistakes or found poses hard, for example. The YTT here was a truly precious experience for me and one I will hold in my heart. I loved the authenticity and the way we could connect to the yoga philosophy and spirituality of yoga - which is what makes yoga yoga. There was an emphasis on teaching traditional yoga which is incredibly important and I appreciated this a lot. Thank you for my wonderful teachers for their kindness and calmness throughout my journey. The YTT created an opportunity for self-discovery that I truly valued. I enjoyed socially learning about yoga with a lovely group of people. I found depth in my connection with the spirituality of yoga in my solitude and had a real opportunity for self-reflection and empowerment with the YTT. I would definitely recommend it to anyone considering YTT. I am still in touch with Naveen, Katharina and Sandeep and am sure our paths will cross via yoga or friendship again at some point in our lives. Lots of love to you, Bhawna 🤍Posted on Krisi TsakirisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently completed the 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training with Anandam, and it was one of the most beautiful gifts I’ve ever received in my life. My intention going into the course was to expand my understanding of the yogic philosophy, anatomy, and deepen my personal asanas practice— I walked away with everything I hoped for, and more than I could have imagined. The environment Sandeep and Katharina created allowed us to really dive deep —physically, mentally, and spiritually. If I had to sum up the experience in one word, it would be authentic. Every aspect of the training, from the teachings to the community, was rooted in true yogic history & values. The teachings themselves were structured, disciplined and methodical, yet delivered in a way that felt accessible and not intimidating. I’m the kind of person who loves to ask a million questions, and all of the teachers so happy to engage (even when I thought i might be being annoying!) Amidst all the learning, there was also so so much playfulness, fun, and laughter. It made the experience feel lighthearted, joyful, and full of connection. Beyond the course completion, the supporting materials we received have been invaluable -they're tools I continue to reference almost daily. Meeting and learning from Sandeep and Katharina, (& Nadeem & Ming) was transformative, and I’m beyond grateful to have had the opportunity to learn and grow in such a supportive environment from such beautiful, knowledgeable & grounded people. <3Posted on Kathrin GrimmerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dear Katharina, dear Sandeep, dear Navin, dear Ming - you wonderful teachers! A heartfelt thank you for all the new knowledge, your experiences you shared with us and the loving space you have created to meet all these wonderful people in our small group of the 200hour teacher training! I loved the atmosphere, I loved the place, I loved the togetherness and of course I loved the pool to cool down 😅 in hot Bali!
Being a Yoga teacher comes with a lot of responsibility. It is way more than just teaching the poses. It is guiding your students selflessly on their journey to a better life. Becoming a teacher is a life transforming process that gives you the possibility to share the treasure of the ancient art of Yoga with others.
