Understanding Yin Yoga
Yin Yoga is a slow-paced Yoga style where postures are held for longer periods of time, typically ranging from one to five minutes or more. Unlike more dynamic forms of yoga, Yin Yoga targets the deep connective tissues of the body, such as ligaments and fascia, rather than focusing primarily on muscles. This practice helps to improve flexibility, release tension, and stimulate the flow of energy through the body’s meridian channels.
Its meditative approach, encourages practitioners to cultivate mindfulness, deep relaxation, and an inward focus.
Harnessing Yin Energy
Yin energy, associated with the moon, promotes a sense of coolness and calmness in both body and mind. Through the stillness of the body in yin yoga, practitioners can achieve stillness of the mind, leading to a deeper realization of their true nature.
Our 50 hour Yin Yoga Teacher Training in Germany is a six-day residential course and allows you to deepen your own practice and also learn how to guide others. This immersive yin yoga training is ideal for everyone who would like to learn more about this slow-paced style of Yoga and connect deeper with their feminine energy.

Program Highlights
The way we know and practice Yin Yoga was developed by Paul Grilley in the late 80s. It is based on Daoist Yoga that combines the ancient Indian traditions with the Chinese energy system (meridians), his knowledge of anatomy and the meridian theory. It is a great complementary practice to all the yang Yoga styles and highly recommended for those of you who practice Ashtanga Vinyasa or Vinyasa Yoga to balance your yin and yang energies.
After completing this 50 hour yin yoga teacher training, you will be able to practice and teach 26 yin asanas, each with various modifications and variations. We all have different bodies and enter poses in different ways, making the use of props such as blocks, bolsters, cushions, and blankets essential for a safe and effective Yin Yoga practice. Some of the key postures you will master include:
- Sphinx
- Frog
- Dangling
- Butterfly
- Snail
In our asana alignment lab we will break down the postural alignment of the postures and you will be taught verbal and hands on feel-good adjustment to guide your students safely through your classes.
In Yin Yoga, alignment is less about achieving a “perfect posture” and more about finding a shape that works for your and your students’ individual bodies.
Important Principles of Yin Yoga Alignment
- Individual Anatomy
- Functional Approach
- Use of Props
- Finding Your Edge
- Stillness and Time
What is Yin Yoga? Where does it come from? Why are we holding poses for such a long time? What does finding your edge mean?
These and more questions will be answered in the Yin fundamentals classes.
In this 50 hours Yin Yoga training in Bali introduce you to the meridian system and how certain poses can improve the function of different organs in your body. The meridian system according to traditional Chinese Medicine
- Lungs
- Large intestine
- Stomach
- Spleen
- Heart
- Small intestine
- Urinary bladder
- Kidney
- Gall bladder
- Liver
In the anatomy and physiology lectures of our Yin Yoga training in Bali you will learn what the difference between stress and stretch is, why Yin Yoga is so important for our spinal health, and the importance of fascia and the connective tissues.
The teaching methodology sessions of this 50 hour Yin Yoga teacher training in Germany will help you understand
- How to give right instructions
- How to keep right voice & effective communication
- How to give proper alignment of postures
- How to modify the pose
- Where and how to use props to do modifications and to prevent injuries
- How to prepare Yin classes
- The art of sequencing and teaching

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 it 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 Katharina 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!!

Posted on eva hlavova2025-09-23Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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:-)Posted on Divya ramburn2025-08-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.Posted on Suzanne Timmermans2025-08-01Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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!Posted on yoga meedoen2025-08-01Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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!Posted on Sophie Platzer2025-05-23Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.Posted on Corin Seah2025-04-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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!Posted on Emma Lemaitre2025-04-23Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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 !Posted on Bhawna Sharma2024-12-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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 🤍Posted on Krisi Tsakiris2024-12-08Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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. <3Posted on Kathrin Grimmer2024-11-27Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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! I loved the atmosphere, I loved the place, I loved the togetherness and of course I loved the pool to cool down 😅 in hot Bali!
