Anadi Yoga Centre, Rishikesh

It was all I wanted and more than I ever expected my yoga journey to India could be. Jit, Abhi and Arvind were my teachers and their presence in the yoga hall was what I looked forward to every day. In addition, I could not get enough of the yoga philosophy lessons. These teachings I now share with my own students in the US and they have been very well received. While at Anadi, I was made to feel like family and formed long lasting bonds with fellow students from all over the world. The food was delightful and plentiful and all of my needs were met. If you have the opportunity to join these elite instructors you should do so. It is an experience of a lifetime and one I hope to do again.

No tengo más que palabras de agradecimiento para la escuela Anadi Yoga. Llegué a la escuela con muy poca noción de lo que era el yoga pero con muchas ganas de aprender y con el miedo lógico a una ciudad, una escuela y unos compañeros desconocidos para mi. Ellos hicieron que todo fluyera desde el primer momento. De allí me he traído de vuelta a amigos, conocimientos y experiencias únicas. Una agradecimiento muy especial a todo el equipo de profesores, staff, Fiorella, .. por su trabajo y enseñanza.

J’ai choisi cette école par recommandation meilleur choix ( je pense qu’ à revenir ) ! Les profs sont très rassurants et compétents , les classes de pratique , de teaching, anatomie , phylosophie , chant, méditation ... tout y est c’est plus qu’une école c’est une famille avec des principes simples et des profs incroyables qui m’ont donné beaucoup de confiance et de tolérance ,j’ai appris énormément les cours sont structurés et l’école est très bien, la nourriture excellente tout le monde est aux petits soins ! C’est une petite école dans un esprit de famille ce n’est pas une usine . Merci pour tout et à tous pour la confiance apporté lors de ma formation.

So difficult to put into words what i learned and experienced during my 300 hrs teacher training with Anadi Yoga Centre! It is best to bring it down to two words: DO IT .... you won't regret! All my love to the wonderful teachers and staff of Anadi ?

El programa 200YTT que ofrece Anadi Yoga está estructurado de una forma muy integral. El contenido de cada una de las materias contribuye de una manera específica para realmente formarte como maestro. Por otro lado, el acercamiento y disposición de cada uno de los profesores y el personal de staff es invaluable ya que ellos fueron clave, no solo para aprovechar al máximo el curso, si no también para poder vivir de lleno esta experiencia en Rishikesh. Gracias a cada una de las personas que integran Anadi Yoga! Mi Corazón y agradecimiento siempre con ustedes .

I have just finished my 300 hours teacher training course and I want to say thanks to Arvin and Geet for their professionalism and knowledge about yoga. In this course we have met the best teacher of philosophy: Nalin, who supported us with his knowledge and his positivity, in the study of Bhagavat Gita and other difficult questions. I hope to came back another time in this amazing place. ?

I could not give enough praise to this school! I was recommended by a friend and it was the best experience I have ever had! The facilities are great, food is delicious and the staff are so helpful. Ever since I returned home I have been saving to get myself back for the 300 hr course. The Anadi staff became family and I can't wait to see them and be taught by them again. I have sent a few friends to them recently who have all come back to me with the same stories of joy!

I’m very grateful for my 200 hour YTT experience at Anadi and for the dedication and commitment shown by each of my teachers: Arvind, Jit, Abhi, Anant, Nalin, Rupi; each of them has their own unique way of transmitting their drive and passion for the yogic path. This has positively influenced my own practice, to make it a habit and to persist when the going gets rough. I’ve gained so much new insight into yog in the last four weeks, and I realize that I’ve barely scratched the surface. To be an experienced yoga teacher l need to continue to deepen my own practice. I feel Anadi has given me the right tools I need to do that. Yoga is a holistic system that allows you a greater sense of awareness and connection with your own true self. It helps you find the right balance for living. Classes at Anadi have this holistic approach at its core. I trained my physical body and breath through asanas and pranayama; I have a better understanding of the mind and body through philosophy and anatomy; and I’ve developed a consistent practice with meditation. Thank you for challenging me in every way possible and making me realize that with practice I can achieve so much more than I thought possible. To all of the Anadi family I am so thankful for making my stay there feel like being at home! For the great accommodation, spontaneous good times on the rooftop, the memorable outings on the weekends, the laughter, and I can’t rave more highly about the food, always delicious and nutritious ?? I fully recommend Anadi Yoga Centre. A very special shoutout to Fiore, thanks to her I found Anadi and felt ever so welcomed into the Anadi family. I look forward to coming back for my 300 hr! Me siento tan agradecida por mi experiencia de 200 horas en Anadi y por la dedicación y empeño de cada uno de mis profesores: Arvind, Jit, Abhi, Anant, Nalin, Rupi; cada uno con su propia forma de transmitir su pasión por el camino del yoga. Esto ha influenciado mi propia práctica para crear hábitos y persistir a través de las dificultades. He obtenido una nueva visón de lo que significa el yoga, y me doy cuenta que apenas he podido ver algo de lo que se necesita para seguir este camino. Lo demás se logra a través de la práctica. Anadi me ha dado los recursos que necesito para profundizarme en mi propia práctica. El yoga es un sistema holistico que te da un mayor sentido de consciencia y conexión contigo mismo. Te ayuda a encontrar el balance que necesita una para una vida saludable. Las clases en Anadi tienen esta visión holistica como fundamento. Entrene mi cuerpo físico y control de respiración con asanas y pranayama; tengo mejor conocimiento de mi mente y cuerpo con la classes de filosofía y anatomía; y he podido desarrollar una practica consistente de meditación. Agradezco el desafío a seguir traspasando los limites de mi mente y gracias a eso vi progresos en mi misma que antes pensaba no podría lograr. Agradezco a toda la familia de Anadi por hacerme sentir en casa. Por el alojamiento, los buenos tiempos que se dieron en el rooftop, las salidas de los fines de semana, las rizas y la comida riquísima! Recomiendo que vayan a Anadi por la experiencia. Muy agradecida que por Fiore encontré este lugar y me sentí parte de la familia Anadi. Espero poder volver para mis 300 hrs!

Where to even begin! I was recommended to check out Anadi by a friend, and it was interesting to learn that the girls on my course were also recommended by friends. A pattern of recommendations usually signals something good, and in the case of Anadi, the word good doesn’t even come close to describing the quality of teaching here. The day begins beautifully with nasal cleaning and mantra chanting, and finishes in an equally beautiful manner with meditation. The structure of the day has been carefully constructed, with a wholesome breakfast every day to encourage stimulation for the busy morning. Not only the breakfast, but all three meals throughout the day are home cooked fresh and packed with healthy carbs and protein to provide the students with sufficient energy for all of the classes. All of the meals are delicious and diligently prepared, and whenever we requested a certain type of food these requests were always met by the attentive kitchen staff (and Jeet). Every single teacher did a brilliant job in providing authentic and insightful information into the 8 limbs of Yog, giving us profound detail into the history of the lifestyle that so few are aware of in the western world. Not only has the 200 hour TTC helped to calm my mind, it has helped me deepen my asana practice to a level I never imagined. My body awareness and consciousness of the intricate details of each posture has heightened due to the innovative structure of each asana class. I must say a special thanks in particular to the asana teachers, Jeet and Abhi. Abhi is 19, and has SO much potential. His teaching style is firm but intuitive, and he would always cater in a careful way on the days we were feeling particularly fatigued. He is very knowledgeable and would always welcome any questions that we had. I cannot wait to see his potential unfold as his strengths as a teacher continue to grow. On the other hand, Jeet is probably one of the most experienced yoga teachers I’ve come to know. His style of teaching makes you sweat to the point of blurred vision, but the feeling you have when you walk out of that yoga hall is incredible. My whole body would be tingling as though every toxin had been flushed out of my system. He, like Abhi, was also very careful to push us only as far as was appropriate. Jeet’s knowledge of alignment and adjustment is profound, and I am so grateful to have experienced his guidance. Thank you for kicking my butt and making me experience what yoga should really feel like. Oh, and for giving me biceps! Further gratitude to all of the other teachers, as every single one was so authentic and brilliant! Equally, thank you to the kitchen staff who prepared us such delicious and wholesome meals- my nails have never looked so good! I came to India for authenticity and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. A further and final mention must go to Arvind. He guided us through meditation in an attentive and careful way, providing us with strong a foundation to enable us to carry on with the practice on our own. Despite the fact that I plan to come back to Anadi to complete my 300 hours, which includes Ashtanga training, I decided to revisit Rish?kesh in order to learn the Ashtanga primary series with Arvind . I am extremely thankful that I did! His teaching queues are detailed and constructed in a way that has helped me to understand my body in so much further detail. He is thorough and dedicated in his practice and method of teaching, and I have learnt so much through his guidance. His classes are energetic and addictive, and I cannot wait to return to obtain more of his knowledge. Thank you for your time and brilliance! All in all, as previously mentioned, I couldn’t have asked for a more insightful or exciting experience. I can now happily call Anadi Yoga Centre a safe place for me to revisit, and I cannot wait to return in the near future. Namaste, love Han xxx ??

3 brothers with an immeasurable knowledge, deep understanding and true desire to teach not only the practical, but the holistic philosophy of yoga also. Strict yet caring, each one of the masters/gurus have their own charisma and unique teaching techniques to push you and guide you without losing compassion for any level practitioner. I arrived at Anadi as a student yet left as a part of a family. Thankyou Anadi. (completed 500hr YTTC)

I had the most incredible experience during my stay at Anadi! The teachers were all such beautiful, knowledgeable, and inspiring souls who really gave us an authentic learning experience. All of the classes were taught in a very clear and understandable way. Mantra chanting changed my life.. it quickly became one of my favourite classes. The energy of a room full of people chanting these powerful mantras is something that everyone needs to experience. Asana classes were very humbling and motivating, they reminded me of the reason I practice and that I am much more capable than I thought. They also inspired many new sequences to take home and teach my students. Philosophy class opened up a very deep dialogue that reminded me of who I am and why I am here. Pranayam was a really beautiful experience that helped me a lot with my asthma; I realized in this course how much my lungs and diaphragm needed it. Anatomy class was super informative and our teacher always made sure we understood the topic before moving onto the next. Adjustment & Alignment class gave me a much better understanding of how to help my students with their postures which boosted my confidence as a teacher. Meditation class was very special to me as well because I had always found it difficult to sit still for very long.. but I crave it now. It changed me. This whole experience did. I am so thankful for every single class as it all helped me to deepen my awareness of what yoga truly is. Beyond the curriculum, the staff at Anadi did an amazing job at creating such a comfortable and supportive environment. The accommodations were beautiful and spacious, the food was delicious, and they helped us out whenever we needed something. We went on fun excursions on the weekends and we ate all of our meals together - we even ended up having an Indian cooking class! We became like a big yoga family and I absolutely loved it. I didn’t want to leave! I actually extended my trip for another week because I fell in love with the energy of the space and the people. I will for sure be going back again and I highly recommend this school for anyone looking to deepen their practice! I am eternally grateful for this experience and for all of the lovely souls who make Anadi Yoga Centre the amazing school that it is! Jaldi milenge Anadi (see you soon). xoxo

Anadi yoga center is a great place to deepen one’s yoga practice. Personally, I have found an amazing team : from the yoga teachers to the chef, everybody is very skilled, human, and devoted. I have found great teammates: I don’t believe in coincidences, i trust that each one of us joined at that period to find each other. Such a blessing ! I have discovered a lovely place : Rishikesh is a noisy, coloured, vibrant, warm city, where i have felt at home and alive. The hotel is correct, the rooftop offers an incredible space and view on the mountains. I felt in security all the time. The activities every Sunday are optional but I encourage anyone to participate as they are various, rooted in nature, fun, and allows to better know the team. I am happy and thankful to have given my trust to this quite “recent” centre ( opened beginning of this year ) . The experience deserves it!

Studied 200 hr ..... And now I could finally feel my body mentally and physically, one of the best experiences of my life. Classes were tough at first,but the results are extraordinary. Never felt so alive and satisfied.

One of the best yoga school in rishikesh the world capital of yoga . M really greatful to all the great teachers n my guruji . Who leads me in this path of yoga to make me batter understanding about me my self n life ... highly recommend ... join this beautiful family of yoga n walk on this path ...hari om

Arvind is by far the most excellent yoga teacher I have ever had. He not only leads his classes with enthusiasm and integrity he also pays attention to the needs of every student and makes adjustments in class and modifications for those who have sustained injuries. While taking my teacher training at another school Arvind was the only instructor in my 500 hr training that treated me worthy of his time. He watched me closely making sure I would not sustain further injuries and made me feel more powerful and fearless rather then like I should just quit and go home. Prior to having him as an instructor I was told to avoid Ashtanga due to its high intensity nature but his class was the only class that I did not get injured in! I can't wait to check out the new school! Congratulations and I pray for you and your family great success!! You deserve it!!

I would love to study at Anadi Yoga Centre just to take another class with Jeet. He taught my 200 hr TTC in Rishikesh in the fall of 2016 and quickly became one of my very favorite teachers. His expertise in both hatha & ashtanga yoga is evident, and his teaching style inspires discipline. He completely changed the way I approach certain postures, and I channel his voice in my head during practice even now. His knowledge also goes far beyond asana. When I was experiencing knee pain, he used a therapy technique that cleared it up completely. I can't recommend Jeet or Anadi enough.

I had the pleasure of attending the 300 hr. teacher training at Anadi Yoga Centre and cannot say enough kinds words. I had already known Jeet and Narendra from my 200 hours certification that I did in 2015 but came back specifically because I loved them so much! They’re both incredible teachers that have their areas of mastery and so much passion in what they do. Jeet knows how to kick your butt in an asana class in the best most loving way possible, and Narendra has so much knowledge about what it seems like everything and is very compassionate when you need help with things like injuries. I got everything I expected and more. I was able to meet even more phenomenal teachers and beautiful people. Arvind is an amazing teacher, he taught our ashtanga vinyasa class, I had never really done ashtanga before, but he did a great job pushing me and helping me in the exact ways I needed, it has now become one of my favorite ways to practice yoga. Nalin totally blew my mind with his knowledge of yogic philosophy, psychology, meditation, the vedas, and so much more! Each teacher has their own sense of humor and positivity to keep you happy while still stretching your mind and body to lengths you didn’t realize they could reach. Alyssa and Ashu are also very awesome in helping with the most random things to make you feel comfortable really, anything from a-z they’ve got your back. Couldn't have asked for a more beautiful experience, will be back as soon as I get the chance. If you have the opportunity, without a doubt visit Anadi! :~) very much love xx

I was fortunate to have had taken classes with Narendra, Jeet, and Arvind before they opened their school. And also have had the honor of meeting Shree Nalin, Their depth of yogic knowledge and willingness to share that knowledge moved me very deeply. I have experienced masters in the past that are withholding of their knowledge, with this wonderful group of beings, they will meet you where you're at and take you beyond, if you are ready and willing. If you are serious about your yogic path, I highly recommend studying at Anadi. Michael Keleman, Clearwater FL USA

I did my TTC with Jeet in Rishikesh - he is one of the best teachers I ever had the privilegie to study with. competent and confident in adjustments, pushing me beyond what I thought were my limits. You could tell he is very passionate about yoga and his classes were creative, intense (!!!!) and fun. The center is beautifully located with amazing ganga views. I would love doing another ttc at Anadi yoga center and would recommend everyone to do the same ??

I know Narendra enough to know that whatever is he following deserves respect and full attention. I met him in 2013 as a teacher for my 200hr, fully loved his engagement and dedication into yoga, that in 2014 we were hunting him and his free time to share us more. Even now, close to my E-RYT 500 & RPYT I would still revisit and re-take his classes.

Three amazing teachers who have dedicated their lives to the path of Yoga. Their knowledge and devotion along with many years of experience teaching in India and abroad sets them apart from other schools. If you want to dive into the essence of yoga, deepen your asana practice and learn from gifted teachers this is the place to do it.

If your trying to find your way around all the schools in Rishikesh this will be a very good choice. Narendra is such a good teacher I would highly recommend this school to anyone. I can't wait to return and visit my self ??
