Yoga Theory

In our theory sessions, we’ll revisit Patanjali’s Ashtanga Yoga —the eightfold path— which lays the cornerstone for embracing a yogic lifestyle. While the practice of asanas is important for cultivating physical strength and flexibility, its ultimate purpose is to ready our bodies for comfortable, extended periods of meditation.

Additionally, to the bandhas, that help to lift and retain prana within the body to increase stability. Mudras are great allies to control prana. They increase hand dexterity, strength and harmonize the elements within.

Anatomy and Physiology

Mastering arm balancing asanas with efficiency and safety requires an understanding of skeletal and muscular systems, along with core and spine anatomy. Our special attention will be on hands, wrists, elbows, and shoulders. As you learn more about bone alignment, you’ll discover that certain poses are more attainable than you once believed.

The Art of Practicing and Teaching

In this 50 hour arm balancing yoga teacher training in Germany you will learn how to:

Integrate arm balancing asanas in your practice and classes
Create a safe and effective sequence
Verbally and physically assist your students in the postures
Utilize bone-on-bone alignment for more ease in the asanas
Increase arm strength over time
Effectively warm up your body
Protect your joints through safe alignment and the use of props
Cool down after the arm balancing sequence

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I did my 200YTT with Anandam Yoga School in August in Bali and it was an exceptional experience. 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:-)

 Trustindex 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.

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!

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.

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!

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 !

 Trustindex 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 🤍

 Trustindex 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. <3

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!

What Our Students Say About Us.

Being a Yoga teacher is more than showing poses. It’s about guiding others with compassion on their journey to a better life.

I’ve really had the most amazing time at Anandam Yoga School in Germany completing a 50 hour arm balancing course. Thank you so much Sandeep and Katharina for your amazing knowledge, overwhelming kindness, encouragement and support. I really recommend the courses in Heimbach. The accommodation and location is beautiful & the vegan food is absolutely delicious. It has been a very special experience and I have benefitted from it in so many ways.

I did the 50-hour arm balance training here and it was great! Sandeep and Katharina are super good teachers with a lot of patience and a great way of teaching! I had a nice time there and recommend everyone to take a course here related to Yoga and Arm balancing!!

I've done the 50h arm balancing training and the 200h Yoga Teacher training and I strongly recommend it. Real Authentic Yoga and knowledge shared from the bottom of the heart. Be prepared to live a beautiful experience with 8 to 12 person max in the group. Such a lot of attention and unconditional support from the teachers: Sandeep & Katharina Beautiful people with infinite kindness and patience who know how to create a safe space where you are not afraid to be vulnerable and express your feelings, it's like being part of a family from the first days...I can't find the words to express how grateful I feel after these weeks together. I'm so glad I did the training with Anandam Yoga school

I attended the Arm balancing course (50 h) for yoga teachers in Heimbach April 2024. I found the program very ambitious and with all relevant areas represented; meditation, pranayama, shatkarma, yoga philosophy, mantras, anatomy, assist lab. And of course lots of yoga lessons in different styles; ashtanga, vinyasa, Hatha and yin yoga. Oh, and some wonderful Yoga Nidra as well. This course focused on arm balancing and I really learnt a lot, and a lot more than I had expected for only 10 days, not only about the expert techniques behind different types of arm balancing asanas,ä and how to teach them and assist students, but also how to warm up and prepare our bodies and create patterns that helps us to develop. Not only were Katharina and Sandeep extremely skilled and educational during the lessons, they also shared every meal (all fantastic vegetarian) with us and we had interesting and fun conversations.
