Sri Vijay Anand (Ph.D)
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.
Ildiko Bakos
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.
How is our Teacher Training different?
- We train teachers in the most effective methods for optimising your body and mind
- Our scientific and systematic approach will allow you to reach your full potential and guide others to do the same.
- The name of the course is taken from 3 vital components that have become separated in modern yoga.
(Kundalini, Tantra and Yoga) - These elements are intertwined and when utilised together, they bring the most effective and authentic yoga practice.

Student's Testimonials
“I cannot recommend this school highly enough. The teachers are engaging, supportive and encouraging, and their vast knowledge and experience is invaluable. The one year course was a transformational journey for me, allowing time for my self development and weaving yoga into every day life. I have gained a much deeper and clearer understanding of yoga that has given me the confidence I needed to teach. Trust the process and let the teachers guide you, and you can be sure you will be more than ready to teach by the time you graduate. “
After having searched for a long time for an answer and a path in which I could understand myself and the world around me, I found Ildy and her team.
These ten months course were a profound internal journey in which for the first time, I could experience real transformation not only physically, but also emotionally and spiritually.
I’ve struggled to improve my lifestyle and different aspects of my life for a long time- having tried different methods and alternative therapies, nothing was as complete as this course.
Stopping smoking and drinking were my highest achievements, in less than a month after starting the course - Ildy has taught us to observe our habits and not to judge them, and that at the right time everything would fall into place, and it did.
Everything in me has changed - my physical body has changed, my thoughts have changed my connection with the divine has become even stronger, my perception of the world and of myself has completely changed.
I see this course as an internal engineering, the whole process is an inside out cleansing.
I am ever so thankful to Ildy and Anand for their commitment and gentle approach in teaching us to discover and integrate this magical world of what Yoga really is into our lives.
Personal development lies at the heart of this course, you will never be the same once you reach the end of it.
I highly recommend this journey for anyone who is looking for growth and self-development.
I would just like to say, I am loving the course, a very steep learning (never-ending) curve for me having done very little. Something drew me to your course rather than other local ones and I feel blessed to have joined you and met all the lovely other people on the course. Thank you Ildy and Anand

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.
Tantra
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.

Course Content
Asana
How the physical postures should be performed and sequenced. Includes variations you can give to students who may need easier progressions into the full posture. We will also cover how and when to adjust a students form.
Anatomy, Physiology and Human Energy Design
How the body works and how yoga can enhance the various system within it e.g. muscular, skeletal, respiratory, endocrine etc. You will be able to explain the all the benefits yoga can bring to the body, mind and soul.
The Chakra system
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.
Kundalini Energy Transformation
Often only covered in a mystical sense in standard teacher trainings course, we will explain what it is, how it can be safely activated and what to do with it.
Tantric Sanjeevani Kriya
Kriya is translated as “action” and is used in several different contexts in yoga. The Kriya’s you will learn are a series of seated exercises that will activate energy channels in the body. With only a short amount of regular practice you can experience the life changing effects of these ancient and incredibly powerful methods that will bring the theoretical concepts of the chakra system to life by making it something you have physically experienced for yourself.
Pranayama
Your breath is the link between body and mind. The benefits of regular pranayama exercise cannot be understated. The tantric methods have subtle but very important differences to those taught in a classical yoga approach. You will learn advanced methods for your own personal practice and basic methods suitable for using in a class or workshop.
Meditation
The pinnacle of all yoga practice, meditation is so simple, yet so challenging. Fortunately there are techniques in both the classical yoga and tantric schools that you can use to rapidly accelerate your own progress and when leading group meditation sessions.
Philosophy
Exploring the yogic concepts of the universe, our existence in it and most importantly, how to create a life of love and fulfilment. Introductions will be given to key classical texts such as Patanjali’s Yoga Sutra’s, and lesser known but equally important tantric volumes. This will include the 8 limbs of yoga and the 5 kosha’s.
Yoga History
From the original yogi’s, known as Rishi’s, right up to the all the weird and wonderful “styles” of yoga on offer today. Learn the often untold story behind the evolution of yoga and what the different approaches offer.
How to instruct and manage a class
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.
Frequently Asked Question
How much experience do I need to have?
It is best to have a few years of experience, but if you only have a few months, and you are serious about learning and going deeper, it should not be a problem.
What if I can't do all the poses?
There is no pre-requisite in terms of how well you can do the poses. We only require that you can sit on the ground, and that you can stand up. The rest will follow.
How will I be assessed?
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.
How much should I practice on my own?
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.
Will I need to read any books?
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.
