Yoga Styles: Ashtanga Vinyasa
Ashtanga Vinyasa, often referred to simply as Ashtanga, is a dynamic and structured style of yoga that follows a specific sequence of asanas that are linked through the synchronization of breath and movement. This vigorous Yoga style was developed by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois in the 20th century, Ashtanga Vinyasa is rooted in the ancient teachings of the Yoga Kurunta and draws inspiration from the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali.

What Our Customer Say About Us
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.

Authentic, humble honest. I did have the best experience here with such safe and comforting teachers. The groups are small the lessons are full with valuable information. yoga Philosophy being thought by Sandeep, a native indian who grew up with yoga since he is a child and lives it with his whole heart is such a special, unique and most important authentic and honest experience which is hard to find in any other schools around Bali.
Katharina is also a wonderful devoted teacher and it is nice to see this Balance of both i helps to understand.
I wouldn‘t go to any other school and I would love to join many more of Anandam Yoga School courses.
Thank you very much🙏

Anandam yoga school is amazing!!! I learned so much from them. Ankur was an incredible teacher and was very knowledgeable in all aspects of yoga, asanas, pranayama, hatha, vinyasa, etc. I absolutely loved this authentic yoga teacher training. I wanted to learn yoga from someone who knew the roots of yoga from India and Ankur taught that and more! I feel like I gained an even deeper love and appreciation for yoga through this experience which I didn’t even know was possible. They pushed me to be the best that I could be and I will always be grateful for that. The course taught me a lot and I am looking forward to teaching in my community back home!! I would absolutely recommend Anandam Yoga School. They have a wonderful environment centered on learning and growing!

I just finished my 200h Yoga teacher training with Anandam Yoga School and I couldn't be happier. It was such a nice and meaningful experience for me. I learned so much about Yoga in these three weeks.
Katharina, Sandeep and Ankur are amazing teachers and it felt like a family to spent time with them and the other students. Their knowledge about philosophy, anatomy, asanas and also ayurveda and pranayama and meditation is impressive! I enjoyed every day of the training so much and I am so thankful I found Anandam Yoga School to do it there.
I would definitely recommend to do the Yoga teacher trainig here and to experience this wonderful journey with Anandam.
Thank you so much Katharina, Sandeep and Ankur🤍

I chose to take my 200h YTT on Bali with Anandam Yoga School as it was of utmost importance to me to learn about the foundations of Yoga from an Indian guide with a deep connection to the practice & its tradition in India, while having local rooting in Bali. Sandeep, Katharina & Kadek imparted a well of knowledge about Yoga asana practice as well as anatomy, yoga philosophy, the history of yoga, pranayama, meditation, shatkarma (cleansing rituals), equity, cultural appropriation, and much more, for us students (and future teachers) to build on for a lifetime to come, knowing that we'll be able to honour the roots of Yoga in India as most of us return to share our practice in Western societies. I am also deeply grateful for the care & support that Katharina & Sandeep provided to us throughout the journey, from travel logistics to a broad variety of recommendations (restaurants, clinics, visa agents, etc.) on anything we might need.

I just finished my 300hr yoga teacher training with them. I am their return student as I also did my 200 hour ytt with them. The experience with them are pleasant. I’ve learnt a lot from them, from asanas, alignments, philosophy, pranayama, and the Hindu tradition. I’ve grown so much after the training, feeling more confident in teaching yoga. Ashtanga yoga was demanding and it’s great to have mysore style every morning with Sandeep as an instructor. He would challenge you and push you above your limits. Arm balancing classes are fun and I have developed so much strength compared to when I first started the training. Both Katarina and Sandeep have beautiful and kind souls. They are always there for you and back you up whenever you need them. After 500 ++ hours we spent together we have developed a stronger bond as good friends! I would really recommend them if you are looking for yoga teacher training courses!!

He is extremely knowledgeable, kind, humble and created a great environment to learn in. Would absolutely recommend this 200-hour multi-style teacher training!Jokha Athman2024-05-24I just completed my 200-hour yoga teacher training with Ankur, and I am beyond thrilled with the experience. This course provided the full package: a comprehensive curriculum that left no stone unturned. Over the duration of the training, I grew stronger mentally, physically, and emotionally. The atmosphere was perfect for personal growth and self-discovery. Our teacher’s dedication was extraordinary—he gave his 200% every single day until the very last. I still don’t know how he managed to maintain such high energy and commitment, but it truly inspired all of us. His passion and knowledge made every session enriching and transformative. I wholeheartedly recommend this training to anyone considering becoming a yoga teacher or deepening their practice. It was an incredible journey that I loved every moment of, and I am grateful for the profound impact it has had on my life.Lilli Lin2024-05-13A truly loving, caring, and wise yoga teacher - Ankur.

Thank you for guiding me through the 200-hour yoga teacher training. The body, the mind, the energy you radiate - it's truly inspiring.✨ Missing the classmates and you already!

I will try more trainings soon🙏 Thank you so much.Joy2023-12-15The yin training with Sandeep and Katharina was a wonderful experience. I am so grateful to have chosen their school. Their authentic, kind and deeply knowledgeable way of teaching is so inspiring and created the perfect space for us students to immerse into the practice and classes of philosophy, anatomy and history. The course was perfectly structured and at the same time Sandeep and Katharina are present to feel the energy of the group and adapt to the flow if needed. In such a short time we became a little family and I deeply cherish what we created! Thank you sooo much!Sarah Hierholzer2023-12-15Katharina and Sandeep who are running the school put a lot of knowledge, energy and love into their trainings. I was able to join their 50h Yoga Nidra Training. In a small group, we were able to learn both practice, theory and history of Yoga Nidra in a very authentic way. Furthermore, pranayama, yin and hatha yoga were practiced on a daily base. As teachers Katharina and Sandeep are structured and but also flexible to adapt to the group's needs and mood. I am very glad to have been part of this training. Good energy attracts good people! Grateful for this!Val Madariaga2023-11-26Best yoga school 🩵 I did the 200hr YTT with Sandeep and Katharina and they are amazing human beings who love yoga and excellent teachers, so professional and approachable. We got to learn so much about the meaning of yoga and not only asanas. I will never forget this experience, the group of people was beautiful and I’ll be forever grateful.Evelyn Toma2023-11-26Lovely teachers with such an in-depth knowledge about Yoga. I have learned so much and enjoyed every minute learning here. My Yoga practice will be so so different after this training. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom and holding such a beautiful space for us. 10/10 would recommend ;)Licia Giorgi2023-11-25The best experience ever!! Our teachers were just amazing, they thought us so many things, it was a life course more than a yoga course ahaha. Looking forward to be back for other courses!Tabetha Radford2023-11-25I absolutely loved my training with Anandam yoga school. It was in-depth, authentic, traditional, thorough and incredibly enjoyable. Sandeep and Katharina have so much knowledge between them and are willing to share everything they know. Yoga is who they are, what they practice and what they share so I can’t think of better people to learn from. My goal coming in to this training was to increase my confidence and to be able to confidently lead a yoga class and that has definitely been the outcome for me. I feel equipped with the knowledge and tools to design a traditionan class that encompasses all the elements of yoga and share this with students. I’m already planning my trip to Germany to join their 300hr teacher training as I can’t think of better people to learn from. Thank you Sandeep and Katharina!
