We at Anadi, offer you the unique opportunity for personal growth through a holistic day to day lifestyle which in turn helps you to absorb the teachings of Yoga in more depth. The ultimate purpose of Yoga as stated in the ancient text ‘ Patanjali Yoga Sutra’ is ‘Citta Vritti Nirodha’ which translates as ‘ the cessation of the modification of the mind’. We facilitate your journey towards this ultimate goal through the practice of Yoga Cleansing Practices (ShadKriyas), meditation, pranayama as well as weekly fire ritual practices ( Yagna) and chanting. Such practices help cleanse body and mind thereby resulting in deeper states of peace and tranquillity.

Our endeavour is to help students understand and follow a Yoga lifestyle which will help them become better practitioner and teachers of Yoga. ‘Walking the Talk’ gives tremendous power to your teachings and will help uplift and inspire others in the practice of Yoga. We are committed to offering personalized and individual attention to all our students so that we can help them reach their full potential and access and develop their strengths. We encourage students to reach out to teachers regarding any challenges, queries or help needed by them so that they can make maximum progress and reap the full benefits of this Master Course.
