Tantric Master and Spiritual Guide
Meet Sri Vijay Anand, a dedicated practitioner of Tantric Hatha Yoga since the tender age of 5. Rooted in the sacred teachings of Shiva's Tattwa Gyan and Swar Yog, he weaves a tapestry of profound knowledge through the 72,000 Nadis, the subtle pathways of prana. Inspired by the 112 Shiva Sutras from the Vigyan Bhairav Tantra, he has mastered the art of combining these ancient teachings with the transformative principles of Kaya Kalp - Ayurveda's body rejuvenation techniques.
A scion of the esteemed lineage of Rishi Vashistha, one of the revered Saptarishis known for their profound understanding of Shiva's knowledge and Upanishad wisdom, Sri Vijay Anand embodies the essence of ancient wisdom passed down through generations.
Sri Vijay Anand's mission extends beyond borders, spanning across 50 countries. His work is dedicated to advancing the physical, mental, and spiritual well-being of humanity. Through powerful Kundalini Tantra Yoga and well-being projects, transformative teacher training courses, and voluntary contributions to public service initiatives, he has left an indelible mark on communities around the world.
Yoga Teacher, Ayurvedic Massage Therapist and Reiki Master
India ignited Ildy's passion for yoga in 2000. A transformative month-long yoga course in Auroville sparked a fire within, leading her to return to India for a Yoga Teacher Training course. This experience solidified the profound connection between yoga and her well-being.
Since then, yoga has become an inseparable thread in the fabric of Ildy's life. Her teaching style is informed by a deep understanding cultivated through continuous learning and personal experience. Sharing this ancient art and science with others is a true honour.
As Ildy embarked on her yoga journey, the profound connection between mind and body became clear. Yoga postures, or asanas, are not merely physical exercises; they are tools to cultivate awareness, healing, and clarity for the mind, body, and spirit.
This mind-body connection, she realised, allows us to return to the present moment and truly understand ourselves. Through yoga, Ildy discovered inner peace and the importance of mindfulness.
Ildy's personal practice and teaching and training experiences allow for a unique blend of traditional Indian yoga styles and contemporary approaches. Classes are spontaneous, lighthearted, and designed to create a positive and uplifting learning experience for students. The ultimate goal is to guide you on your journey of self-discovery and connection.
While she deeply values yoga's spiritual aspects, Ildy also recognises the importance of the physical body.

Kundalini
Understanding Kundalini is fundamental to yoga yet rarely do teacher training programmes explain how you can work with it to improve your health and well-being. We share techniques to safely connect with the immense Kundalini energy that is lying dormant in us all.
Yoga
Almost all the predominantly physical yoga “styles” popular in the west today have their roots in Hatha Yoga. Hatha yoga focussed on the physical aspects of tantra and enhanced them, further producing the highest understanding of purifying and maintaining the body and increasing our understanding of the connection between body and mind.
Yoga was primarily focused on meditation and a life of renunciation until the Tantrics developed physical methods to support the practice. The Tantrics built on what the Rishis discovered (the pioneers of yoga who dedicated their lives to spiritual development) and made it mainstream by creating techniques that could be used by everyday people without the time to dedicate their entire lives to yoga or the desire to cut themselves off from the rest of society. This is one of several reasons why Tantra is especially relevant for modern-day teachers.
You might feel that you need to go to India if you want to get the real yoga experience that goes past the physical levels but as this course is overseen by an Indian-born, lifelong tantric yogi, you can rest assured that you are getting the real thing!
People from all walks of life come to our courses but when they leave us they all have one thing in common. They have had a life-changing experience that has allowed them to grow as a person, becoming more accepting, happy and able to deal with the world.
Whether you wish to teach others or not, it is reassuring to know that this course is delivered according to the standards of Yoga Alliance US and you’ll leave with a certificate that is recognised all over the world, making it easier to get classes in the beginning.
This energy system is a central concept that is shared throughout eastern approaches to health and well being . We think everyone interested in yoga needs to understand the critical difference between the tantric and classical yoga approaches to understanding, balancing and optimising the chakras.
You will learn the art of teaching, in other words; how to inspire and motivate students safely, when to let students find their own way and how to manage groups with mixed levels of ability.
Sangam Retreat House, Tiruvannamalai, South-India
Bring comfortable yoga clothing, a notebook, a yoga mat, and any personal props you like (e.g., straps or blocks). While basic props will be provided, having your own ensures comfort and consistency.
There will be an ongoing assessment during the course. If there will be home assignments to do, homework and towards the end of course you will be required to teach your fellow students. At the end of the course there will be a theory test. There’s a requirement for you to attend 90% of the live classes.
As much as you can. It is important to make practice your priority, otherwise you will not be able to change your life. You will have to make some changes, adjustments in your daily life, and prioritise practice more.
Yes, but not many. We will recommend a few books to read but they should not be more important than practice. Practice is more important than reading.
Shivoham Institute is a Registered Yoga School (RYS) with Yoga Alliance US, which designates this teacher training program as one which follows Yoga Alliance’s standards.
