Ildy has already shown me the importance of breathing..funny but I’ve never really thought about it before. I’ve previously only done fitness yoga so now to realise how much more I can achieve in each pose by being led by my breathing is amazing.
When I leave her morning class I am so balanced and grounded I feel like I’m shaping my day rather than being a victim of it.

I found Anand very easy to talk to and felt that he has a wide knowledge of the spectrum of Indian philosophy and a keen and practical understanding of the interplay of female and male energies. Our session was an enjoyable mix of talks and meditation exorcises. I have no hesitation in recommending his workshops.

“Taking the Kundalini Tantra Yoga Teacher Training has been such an important part of my journey and progression through yoga. It has opened up a whole new world for me and helped me to develop personally. I have been able to meet like-minded yogis and feel I have made lifelong friendships through partaking in this course. Both teachers Ildy and Anand are inspirational and have a complete wealth of knowledge to share, but apart from that they are fully supportive and understanding ready to nurture each student on their own personal journey to becoming a yoga teacher. I also have no doubt that the support will continue following completion of the training. I am so grateful for this amazing opportunity and experience”

“As a student and teacher of yoga, I have felt a deep yearning to deepen my practice and my knowledge. As an answer to this wish, Anand and Ildy, from Kundalini Tantra UK, came into my life. They are truly authentic yogis, living their lives consciously and by design, guided by the philosophy they teach. They really do preach what they practice. Spending time with Anand and Ildy, whether as part of the teacher training course, one to one advice and guidance , or any of the other various teachings or services they offer, is always nurturing and supportive. If you are seeking a deeper experience in your life, I would recommend getting in touch and seeing how they can help. I am certain that you will be rewarded by a calmer mind, a healthier body and a content soul“

“I came away from Anand’s workshop feeling wonderful. Full of wonder of how easily, with simple exercises he had produced a deep sense of peace and flow for me. And although I have practised yoga for many years found his facilitation contained new words of wisdom, I had not heard before. These now sit comfortably, like sparkling little gems, within the fabric of my own life’s understandings. I am very grateful and glad I decide to attend. namaste”

” I have been attending Ildy’s Yoga classes and retreats for the past three years and have found the benefits to be amazing. I love Ildy’s gentle manner and dedication to all aspects of the practice. She encourages you to develop physical, spiritual and emotional well being through meditation, focus on breathing and physical exercises to develop flexibility and strength. Her classes are varied, and I always feel so much better for going.”

I have been going to yoga classes on and off for many years, more off than on due to struggling with poor mental heath, fibromayalgia, and chronic addictions. In 2015 I had well and truly burned my life to the ground, and was completely maladjusted to life and suicide seemed a very welcome idea. I am grateful that today things are very different. I feel truly guided by a loving force to want what is best for me and those around me. The turning point for me after going on lots of courses for self care, confidence building, and mindfulness. was when I did my Reiki 1 and 2, which allowed me to connect with myself on a deeper level. That was the end of 2016. From there I studied Ayurveda, and from that became a student at the Indian Wellness Acadamy. to be on this Kundailini Tantra Yoga Teacher Training Course, is one of the best thing I have done in my life.
am learning so much about myself, and am so looking forward to teaching and sharing with others.
There is a loving path for all of us. Namaste

Anand and Ildy appeared to me during a period of synchronicity happenings in my life. I had completed yoga TTC with a very reputable school of yoga, but I needed more. I needed to go deeper than the dogmatic ways of many schools, I wanted to get to the roots of yoga…and that’s when I found the Indian Wellness Academy. My partner and I attended a spiritual intimacy workshop with Anand and I just knew this was who I was to study with next.
Anand is an amazingly intuitive teacher with a delightful sense of humour. His knowledge of ancient tantric practices, greater than anyone I’ve met so far. Ildy is a wonderful teacher, sharing her vast knowledge of yoga asana’s and their technicalities. Both are full of love and empathy and will be there to help you as much, or as little as you need. I feel very lucky to have made the connection with such a beautiful pair of souls, and to be sharing and learning with them.
Look forward to teach again this year at the amazing Explore wellness festival!

After practising many different styles of yoga for many years I began feel to the urge to delve deeper into my personal yoga practise, and to learn the authentic techniques. The universe responded by showing me The Indian Wellness Academy, following my intuition I decided to attend a workshop last year. I immediately felt a connection to both Anand and Ildy as well as the practise and its teachings, and felt that this would finally fulfil my appetite for a deeper knowledge and understanding of yoga. I decided to join the teacher training course with the intention of deepening my own practise rather than to become a teacher, however with the support of Anand and Ildy and a strong resonance to the teachings of the tantric tradition I have felt a massive shift and have become inspired to take the next step, face my fears of not being good enough and become a teacher.
Anand and Ildy are the most humble, knowledgeable and warm-hearted teachers that will support you through every step of your journey and help you to learn, grow and challenge yourself. Taking the course was one of the best decisions of my life and I can’t thank Anand and Ildy enough for appearing when I asked.

Having attended Ildy’s yoga classes for a number of years, I wanted to explore the underpinnings of yoga in more detail and the Spiritual Transformation Class taught by Anand and Ildy seemed to be the perfect opportunity to do this. I have enjoyed learning more about breathing and meditation techniques and use these strategies regularly at home now. I enjoy my yoga practice and the classes that I attend more deeply, and have really learned to feel the benefits of yoga both physically and mentally. I feel that when everyday life becomes challenging, I have a greater range of techniques to help me remain calm, feel in control and stay positive and relaxed. Yoga is becoming more embedded in my daily routines now and I hope I will be reaping the benefits of this for many years to come. Ildy and Anand have helped me stay motivated and have taught me how to listen to what my body and my mind needs.

“It has been a truly wonderful experience being a student on the Kundalini Tantra Yoga teacher training course.I have practiced Yoga at different times in my life, taking classes in Kerala India, which encouraged me to want to explore at a much more profound level, the different aspects of Yoga as a discipline. As the saying goes ‘when the pupil is ready, the master appears’. Sure enough, I moved house and met Anand and Ildy! In this course the student is furnished with all the knowledge,both philosophically and practically, that is necessary for their own journeys as a teacher of Yoga and also for their own personal growth. All aspects of Yoga are covered, asanas, pranayama, meditation, and the ancient teachings at the very foundation of this discipline. Anand and Ildy are wonderful teachers, and complement each other very well, both of them are very supportive of each and everyone of us on the course, recognizing us as individuals, and encouraging our own self expression. Under their direction, Yoga soon becomes a way of life, a discipline that completely transforms your life, bringing the ancient practices into the modern day world”
Vaishali Patel
As the saying goes when a student is ready the teacher appears’ well that’s what happened to me. I was ready to move my practice of yoga up a notch to become a yoga teacher, and there appears the Indian Wellness Academy.
I wanted to understand the deeper meaning of Kundalini and Tantra Yoga, Anand perfectly goes deep into the ancient secrets of Tantric yoga. Anand takes you back in time to the ancient Vedic teachings of Tantra and explains clearly how to safely and progressively expand and liberate yourself by tip toeing through stage by stage the various Asanas, Pranayama practices and Mudras and so much more, to gently guide you through the multi levels of yoga practice, that finally lead you to liberation. Anand and Idly are a rare find. I haven’t met any teachers who have much ancient knowledge. It’s an honour to hear them talk and part the ancient wisdom.
The course is varied and covers a lot of deep insights that you may not see in the average Yoga course. Idly goes deep into the asanas and explains the Tantric meaning adding insight to the Asanas. Both Anand and Idly are great teachers, work well together and most of all Ildy’s massage are the best I’ve had . Thanks to you both. Namaste.
