Program Highlights
In our 200 h Yoga course in Germany we will lay a strong foundation in traditional Hatha Yoga, as this is the asana based practice all other Yoga styles developed from. You will learn more than 150 Hatha Yoga asanas and their alignment and how to sequence them in your Hatha Yoga, Hatha Flow and Vinyasa Flow classes. To deepen your own practice we also included Yin Yoga and Ashtanga Vinyasa lead classes. But Yoga is so much more than just asana, it is a way of living your life consciously and connecting with others on a deeper level. After completing this training we want you to understand the foundation and roots of Yoga, the importance of this ancient philosophy in our daily life and how to bring these teachings into the world.
What is the aim of Yoga? What is the Yoga Darshan? What are the paths of Yoga?
Only a few of the questions we are going to address in our Yoga philosophy and history sessions of our 200 h Yoga teacher training in Bali. We will take you back to the origins of Yoga, make our way through its history and discover how it found its way to the west. We will clear up misconceptions about Yoga and will dive deeper into Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras to help you understand the ancient teachings and their relevance today
~ Etmyology and definition of Yoga
~ Aims and objectives of Yoga
~ Yoga eras
~ Paths of Yoga
~ Patanjali Yoga Sutras (Yoga Darshan)
~ Ashtanga Yoga and its relevance today
Hatha is the foundation of all physically based Yoga practices like asana. In this module you will learn more about the different Hatha Yoga scriptures and the causes of success and failure of your practice. In this 200 h yoga course we will explain the guiding principles of the Yogic practice and the differences between Yoga and the physical culture, as there are so many misconceptions about the asana practice.
What is the difference between Hatha Flow and Vinyasa Flow? Where does Hatha Yoga have its origin?
After this course we want you to understand the differences and similarities of the three Yoga styles we included in our 200 h Yoga Teacher Training in Bali. We will give you more information about the history of the different styles and you will learn how to teach each of them, so that in the end you have the chance to decide which style suits you best.
~ Hatha Yoga
~ Hatha Flow
~ Vinyasa Flow
You will get the chance to practice different styles of Yoga every day in the morning. Apart from traditional Hatha Yoga we teach Ashtanga Vinyasa and more the modern styles Hatha Flow, Vinyasa Flow and Yin Yoga. In these classes the main focus is your own practice. We encourage you to use this training to also deepen your own Yoga practice, because a regular self-practice will be the foundation of all your teaching. It is your source of inspiration and energy and determines your quality as a Yoga teacher. Even though some of us are teachers, we will always be students.
In the asana alignment classes of our 200 yoga teacher training Bali, we are refining the art of teaching Yoga postures. Throughout these sessions, you will acquire invaluable skills including:
Mastering Over 150 Yoga Postures: Explore a comprehensive repertoire of over 150 Yoga postures, learning how to perform them and variations
Understanding Benefits and Precautions: Gain insight into the specific benefits and precautions associated with each asana, allowing you to guide your students safely and effectively.
Utilizing Props: Learn how to effectively utilize props such as blocks and belts to enhance alignment and support in various Yoga postures.
Integrating Breath Awareness: Learn more about the connection between breath and movement, and how to integrate conscious breath awareness into your classes.
Adapting Adjustments to Individual Needs: Learn hands-on adjustments, considering the unique body types and abilities of your students to ensure safe and supportive alignment.
Building the Foundation for Your Classes
In our asana lab, we lay the foundation for your future Yoga classes. With a wide collection of asanas at your disposal, you will be equipped to design and lead classes independently, regardless of the style you choose to teach.
Did you ever wonder how your teachers plan their classes? How they decide which asana follows the other?
Sequencing and designing a balanced Yoga class are two things you learn in this module. Apart from that you will learn:
~ How to effectively prepare yourself mentally, physically, and emotionally for leading a Yoga class with confidence and presence.
~ How to create a welcoming and grounded atmosphere as you open your Yoga class.
~ How to demonstrate Yoga postures with clarity and precision and how to provide supportive adjustments to improve your students’ practice.
~ How to ensure safety and which precautions to keep in mind.
~ How to close your Yoga class, leaving your students feeling grounded, rejuvenated, and connected.
~ Which post-class rituals to integrate to, foster personal growth and reflection.
~ Peak pose sequencing and designing classes with a special focus, to deepen your students’ experience and progression.
~ How to effectively address varying levels and abilities of students within the same class, offering modifications and challenges to accommodate everyone’s needs without creating a competitive environment.
We cannot conduct a Yoga Teacher Training without speaking about ethics. Sadly, the Yoga field as well as so many other areas of our life, offers space for discrimination and abuse. We want to make you aware of these topics. We will speak about the student – teacher relationship, equity and inclusion, inclusive word choice and cultural appropriation
In this module we will teach you different breathing techniques and introduce you to the art of pranayama – breath expansion.
Breathing
~ Natural breathing
~ Abdominal breathing
~ Thoracic breathing
~ Clavicular breathin
~ Yogic breathing
Pranayama
~ Nadi Sodhana
~ Surya Bhedi
~ Chandra Bhedi
~ Bhramari
~ Sheetali
~ Sheetkari
~ Ujjayi
~ Kapalbhati
~ Bhastrika
The meditation module consists of theory and practice classes. You will learn the 12 steps of meditation, what food helps to better focus and what the ideal time and place is to practice. Apart from that we teach you the basic techniques of meditation, benefits and mindfulness.
As part of our 200-hour Yoga Course in Bali, we dedicate 15 minutes each evening to come together and chant mantras. This sacred practice allows you to tap into the transformative power of sound vibrations and experience their resonance within.
Mantras Included:
~ OM
~ Patanjali Mantra
~ Ganesha Mantra
~ Guru Mantra
~ Anapoorna Mantra
~ Mahamrityunjaya Mantra
~ Gayatri Mantra
~ Shanti Mantra
Thousands of years ago monks and sages in India had an understanding of how the human body works and what it needs to function properly. They realized the importance of equilibrium and the healing powers of Yoga. In yogic anatomy we introduce you to
~ Panch Mahabhut Tattva (Five Elements)
~ Nadi’s (Astral Tubes)
~ Prana & Pancha Prana
~ Pancha Kosha
~ Chakras
~ Bandhas
For you as a future Yoga teacher it is important to know how asanas, pranayama and meditation affect the physical body. In our anatomy and physiology classes we give you an introduction into how the human body is build and how it functions. You will learn about
~ Structural design of the human body
~ Musculoskeletal system
~ Hip anatomy
~ Spine and back anatomy
~ Core anatomy
~ Cardiovascular system
~ Respiratory system
~ Nervous system
Mudras as powerful gestures that change the flow of prana in our bodies. During the practice we can use them to balance the energy. They can either increase or decrease the energy and vitality in certain areas of our body, helping us to come back to a state of equilibrium. We will introduce you to the five classes of mudras and teach you several hand mudra and their effects.
~ Anjali Mudra
~ Jnana Mudra
~ Chin Mudra
~ Dhyana Mudra
~ Prana Mudra
~ Apana Mudra
~ Vayu Mudra
~ Akasha Mudra
~ Prithivi Mudra
~ Varuna Mudra
~ Agni Mudra
We will practice Jala Neti, Kapalbhati and Nauli – three of the six Shatkarma techniques, yogic methods to clean the physical body prior to the practice. In the theory classes we will discuss all Shatkarma practices and provide with more information about their benefits, cautions and contraindications.
Nutrition plays a major role in the yogic lifestyle. The food we consume has a tremendous effect on our health and the quality of our yoga practice. Ancient yogis were already aware of that and designed the “Yogic dietâ€. You will study the different qualities of food and the effects they have on your body; the components of the yogic diet and how to incorporate it in your life.
Ayurveda is the knowledge of life, over 5000 years old and one of the oldest medical systems on earth. We would like to give you an insight in this fascinating philosophy; explaining you how the five elements are used in healing, how to find out your dosha and how you can integrate ayurvedic teachings in your daily routine.

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!!

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.

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!
