Program Highlights

Our holistic approach includes asanas, breathing techniques and pranayama, meditation, and mindfulness techniques, all tailored to promote physical strength, mental clarity, and emotional well-being during these transitional phases.

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 it 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 Katharina 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!!
