50 hours Yoga Nidra Training Germany

Yoga Styles: Yoga Nidra

“For absolute relaxation you must remain aware. This is Yoga Nidra, the state of dynamic sleep” ~ Swami Satyananda Saraswati

Through Yoga Nidra we induce complete physical, mental and emotional relaxation. The consciousness is functioning on a deeper level awareness. In this state between wakefulness and sleep, contact with the subconscious and unconscious dimensions occurs automatically and spontaneously.

In this Yoga Nidra Yoga Teacher Training in the serene Eifel national park in Heimbach, Germany, we introduce you to the art of Yoga Nidra. You will learn more about its self-healing properties in dissolving physical, emotional and mental blockages and how it can be used to prevent stress-related diseases like burn-out and anxiety.

This course is embedded in the YACEP program of Yoga Alliance and you can add the 50 hours of this course to your continuous education hours.

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:-)

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.

I had an incredibly beautiful week at Heimbach in Germany while taking part in the Yoga Nidra Teacher Training. 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!

I had a wonderful week of yoga Nidra teacher training at Heimbach in Germany. Beautiful location located in the green hills of the Eifel. Learning from Sandeep and Katharina was very precious, they have so much knowledge about and experience with what true yoga is. And they create such a nice athmosphere with their beautiful personalities as well! I had an amazing week!

J’ai suivi en avril 2025 la formation de 200 heures avec Navin, Ming et Katerina et j’en ai eu une expérience très positive. 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 had the most wonderful experience with Anandam Yoga School! 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!

J’ai réalisé le 200h YTT avec Anandam à Bali. L’expérience était extraordinaire et très enrichissante. Les profs sont supers. 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 !

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 🤍

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

Dear Katharina, dear Sandeep, dear Navin, dear Ming - you wonderful teachers! 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!
