Sri Vijay Anand
“”It is relatively well known that all modern styles of yoga came from Hatha Yoga. It’s lesser known that Hatha is a simplified variation of some of techniques collected from the Tantra’s. The most effective yoga practices cannot be found or are not fully disclosed in the most popular yogic texts referred to in modern teacher trainings. I am blessed to be part of the oral tradition that has preserved the most effective teaching. It is my life’s works to continue spreading this knowledge with the right students.”
“There is no better teacher than experience, so we start students teaching small amounts from day 1 then gradually increase. They leave us confident in their ability to teach, able to evolve what they have learned into their own teaching style and with the authenticity of a yogi who has experienced a deep personal practice. It brings me such joy to guide people on this journey and know that they too will be helping others”.

Ildy assists on all aspects of the training and plays the lead role in asana (physical postures) instruction. She has vast experience in running yoga classes. Her a passion for yoga and Ayurveda will inspire the same in you and her friendly, supportive manner will help you progress at an amazing pace.
Previously a black belt in Karate, Ildy discovered yoga in 2000 whilst travelling in India and spending 1 month in an ashram. She developed her own practice for a decade before returning for another course as she decided that it was her purpose in life to live and teach yoga. Having gone through the process of bringing traditional yoga into western classes, she has experience in what it’s like to be a new teacher and will help you avoid the common pitfalls that many make.
She is a very intuitive teacher to guide people from the heart something that is hard to explain as it needs to be experienced. Whether you are an absolute beginner or having been practising for many years, she is able to create an environment where both simultaneously feel looked after and challenged.
My first encounter with yoga began in India, in 2000. After completing a one – month yoga course in Auroville (Southern India), I became so inspired to continue with Yoga and the philosophy of Yoga, that I returned to India to complete my Yoga Teaching Training Course.
Yoga is an integral part of myself and I strive to learn continuously.
I teach only from the heart and from personal experiences. It is an honour to share this ancient science and art with others and bring people to experience BLISS.
My regular practice includes all 8 limbs of yoga but especially the meditation. Daily meditation is essential for me.
As a yoga teacher and trainer (on yoga teacher training courses) I aim to encourage students to find their own centre, their own source of energy. I teach all parts of yoga, asanas, pranayama and meditation (contemplation).
However, I understand we are all different I also feel there is a unity that binds us and that is that we all come from the same source. If we could all tap into that source, it would really help all of us to understand that we are the SAME.
My personal experiences of yoga and meditation, teaching and training experience, allow me to blend traditional Indian Yoga styles with contemporary approaches. My teaching style is spontaneous, light- hearted and I aim to provide a positive and uplifting experience to my students. I seek to guide others to find their desire for connecting with themselves.
While I am deeply connected to the spiritual aspects of Yoga, I know the importance of the physical body. Since the mind and body are connected, the physical body should feel supple, so the mind and body are in harmony.
Yoga is an integral part of my life and I strive to continually learn. I teach from the heart, It is an honour to share this ancient science and art with others.
