Authentic Indian Teachers – Learning Yoga from the Source
At Anandam Yoga School, authenticity is not a marketing word – it’s the very foundation of everything taught and practiced.
Students often say they chose Anandam because they felt something different – a sense of sincerity, humility, and warmth that reflects true Indian yoga culture.
Your lead teachers, Sandeep Atri and Dr. Katharina Austermann, embody this blend of ancient lineage and modern wisdom.
- Sandeep Atri (India) – born and raised in a yogic environment, he carries decades of experience in Hatha and Ashtanga yoga, pranayama, and traditional philosophy.
- Dr. Katharina Austermann (Germany) – brings a deep understanding of anatomy, physiology, and modern teaching methods, bridging the gap between east and west beautifully.
Together, they guide you through asana alignment, philosophy, meditation, pranayama, and Ayurveda, ensuring every student learns yoga as a living science, not a performance.
“For us, yoga is not a job - it’s our way of life. We share it from our hearts, with authenticity and devotion.”
Yoga Alliance Certification – Globally Recognized Qualification
Anandam Yoga School is a Yoga Alliance® USA–registered RYS 200 school, which means your certification is recognized worldwide.
After completing the course, you can become a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT-200) – a credential accepted across yoga studios, wellness centers, and retreat spaces globally.
Whether you wish to teach internationally, start your own classes, or simply dive deeper into your personal practice, this certification opens the door to limitless opportunities.
And what makes it even more special? You’ll receive it through a training led by Indian masters, in one of Europe’s most peaceful settings – a rare and enriching combination.
A Gurukul-Style Learning Experience – Ancient System, Modern Approach
The Gurukul system – the traditional way of learning yoga in India – lies at the heart of Anandam’s teaching.
Here, students and teachers live, learn, and grow together in a supportive residential environment. Every conversation, meal, and meditation becomes part of the teaching process.
This immersive style helps you absorb the philosophy of yoga not just intellectually, but experientially – learning with your heart, not just your head.
At the same time, the curriculum respects modern educational structure:
- detailed anatomy classes,
- safe asana alignment training,
- practical teaching methodology, and
- space for reflection and self-inquiry.
That harmony between ancient and modern is what makes Anandam stand apart – a true bridge between the roots of India and the openness of the world.
Community and Connection Beyond Borders
Yoga is union – and at Anandam, that spirit is alive in every class, meal, and shared moment.
Students come from over 40 countries – from Germany to the USA, the UK, Brazil, Australia, and beyond – each bringing a unique story, yet all connected by the same inner calling.
This diversity turns every training batch into a small family – a safe, inspiring community where people support each other’s growth.
Many students describe their time here not as “three weeks of study” but as a journey of belonging, healing, and transformation.
“It was more than a course; it was like living in a conscious community that felt like home.”
When you join Anandam, you don’t just earn a certificate – you gain lifelong friendships and a shared purpose to spread light through yoga.
