Suddha Anand Yogshala Varkala

I wanted to go to India to learn the real yoga and, indeed, I did at Suddha Anand. The instruction was highly-detailed and the coursework was extensive. Each member of my class received personal attention. I was literally pulled into position multiple times a day until my body began to comprehend. It was exactly what I wanted from a TTC and actually exceeded my expectations. It's amazing how much better I understand the poses after only 30 days and now I'm also familiar with a variety of breathwork and meditation techniques. Varkala Beach is gorgeous and uplifting. A teacher training is not a retreat experience so don't go expecting that but if you have a desire to truly learn yoga well, Suddha Anand is for you.

The teachers are both caring and hospitable, especially because many of their students are from all over the world. They set everything up for my arrival. I felt very safe being so far from home. As long as you are willing to put in the work and not be lazy they will give you all of the materials you need to continue your lifelong study of yoga. It is disciplining and definitely a great workout. The combination of being in beautiful India and studying yoga is a lesson itself. Their prices are really reasonable and they give you an experience you will never forget. I would take this course all over again and I wouldn't go anywhere else.

Shara and Sachin are very passionate teachers and are able to share their passion with the students in a very clear and informative way. The physical part of the training was challenging so be prepared to work! Safe and correct movement were always the main priorities and you will learn a lot about the technical aspects of asana.

I meet many experienced and skillful teachers here who were skilled and took great pleasure in teaching all the Asana. In the beginning it can be bit difficult but later when you are with the flow it gives you very good experience to learn every details from the instructor and be comfortable with all the activities.

I really loved the month spent in Varkala in this ashram for my 200h ttc , at the beginning It feels as there would be too much to know to be able to teach, but the teachers will accompany and encourage you in a very professional way. The School also teaches you discipline, sharing and allows your personal growth thanks to yoga philosophy and self study. Furthermore the food is lovely and rooms are nice! Thanks a lot!
