    Through Sattva Yoga I have gained the possibility to experience yoga on a new level and as a whole - as Yoga of Life. Before coming to Sattva yoga was mainly a physical activity for me, as I had practiced only asana and pranayama before. Even that had had an great impact on me, because already through these practices I had gotten the opportunity to shift my energy right away. Of course diving deeply into Kriya and experiencing the effects since then on a daily basis makes a huge difference in my life. But actually it was mostly the experience of Gyana, Bhakti and Karma that shifted my awareness of what yoga truly means and is. Everything that I could and can experience through Sattva Yoga touched and touches me on the deepest level possible and just activates that inner wisdom, this connection to truth. So after my experiences at Sattva Yoga Academy I would say that my life is yoga, that I am yoga and that yoga is flowing through me. I am the practitioner and the practice itself, I am the student, the teacher and the teaching, I am the experiencer and the experience.

    This school was amazing. Very deep and thorough in all their approaches. The transfer of yogic and Vedic knowledge and very useful life philosophy was substantial. As well, they use a consolidation/Integration exercise post training that is deep and thorough. It challenges us to really think and embody the understandings of the yogic principles taught at Sattva. I will be returning!

    Truly a profound and heart opening experience. I was searching for something other than the exclusively asana based practices I was finding offered in the United States and Sattva Yoga Academy developed the ancient teachings from their source in a manner most transformational and positive.

    For me personally, Sattva Yoga Academy is an unique place where you really can learn from the source and understand the teachings on a deeper level as you will be staying on these grounds where for thousand of years Yogis have honored existence and have cultivated qualities of surrender, devotion and love in its original meaning. It is the place I was looking for all my life and I really feel very touched to being able to receive these comprehensive and holistic teachings from a true master as Anandji is for me.

    Life changing. Sattva taught me so much that I didn't even know that I didn't know! I was exposed to so much wisdom and so much energy. It's very difficult to put into words.

    The program was nothing short of amazing, offering a comprehensive curriculum that delved deep into the roots of yoga philosophy, anatomy, asana practice, and much more. The authenticity of the teaching resonated deeply with me, bridging ancient wisdom with modern practicality in a way that was both enlightening and accessible. The instructors were incredibly knowledgeable and passionate, fostering an environment of growth, support, and community. Each class was meticulously crafted to not only challenge us physically but also to expand our minds and spirits. What set Sattva apart was its commitment to preserving the authentic essence of yoga. It was evident in every lesson, every interaction, and every moment of reflection. The balance between rigorous practice and thoughtful discussion created a rich, immersive experience that encouraged personal exploration and growth. Moreover, the school's emphasis on comprehensive learning meant that we didn't just practice yoga; we lived it. From understanding the intricate details of anatomy to diving into the profound depths of yoga philosophy, the course prepared us to not only be skilled practitioners but also knowledgeable teachers who can carry forward the tradition with integrity and respect.
