Meditation Teacher Training Course

I was beginner in Yoga, I have joined the 200hrs Yoga TTC Course for improving my understanding of Yoga and it's different techniques. I was also quite interested in the overview of the different tools used and how it's applied.

My expectations were met indeed. Both Shivachittam Sir and Rupesh Sir have quite a lot experience and discipline in terms of Yoga knowledge and understanding.

In terms of Yoga asana practices, different variety of asana's were included from intial to advance stages both by Rupesh Sir and Shivachittam sir. For the meditative practices, Shivachittam sir have quite a lot experience, and that is also reflected in the meditative classes, where his calm demeanour and clarity of instructions can be easily felt.

Now, in case of the theory classes, they were quite explicit and course content covers large amount of topics, various philosophical and practical topics were discussed during the theory classes, from history of yoga to its significance in today's life.

In terms of my personal growth, my flexibility and sitting capacity increased in large amount, my ability to relax and clear mind increase highly, while also learning multiple Mantras. I also learned a great deal amount of qualities and where I can improve further through continuous feedback from both teachers from time to time.

Overall the course is quite good in terms of its content and the teaching methods but everyone expectations might be different, so it might be not for everyone. From a beginner's perspective, theory and its practical implementation by both teachers were quite good. 

Thank You

I did a 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training Program from Anandbodha Yoga. My aim of joining the course was to know more about yoga, in it's depth. I didn't know what more to expect.

We had daily sessions rotating alternately between yoga and meditation and extended theory sessions over weekend. 

The best part was the course could be done remotely since I do not live in Gurugram.

I am glad I did this course and especially from Anandbodha because the aim of this institute is to make yoga grow and reach every person's life. It's not monetary or commercial. When a noble vision is attached to an initiative, it is bound to be good.

The very first lesson was that you are good wherever you are in your asanas. You do not need to exert too much and feel drained. The key is to be consistent. The way yoga asanas are practiced at Anandbodha is very unique. We practiced asanas for almost an entire hour without feeling drained. The dynamic movements coupled with quick relaxation are quite energizing. You look forward towards next class rather than dreading it.

We not only practiced complete yoga including asanas, pranayamas, mudras, bandhas, yoga nidra, meditation including Antar Mouna and Ajapa Japa, Om Chanting, Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra Chanting but also learnt about all these in details which gives one an insight on what happens when something is performed and empowering you with the ability to frame something exclusively for yourself.

Never knew Yoga has so many components and doing them in several combinations interchangeably never made yoga monotonous.

We also learnt Shatkarma practices including Jal Neti, Kunjal, Shankhprakshalan, Tratak. They sound hard but are not. You only need to practice once. Knowing the techniques and benefits you can help yourself and others in management of various ailments.

We gradually learnt an ideal routine to follow including early sleeping, starting day with mantra chanting, nasyam, oil pulling, sleeping with a quick review of the day. We also learnt about Diet and Nutrition. It might take a little while to get used to it all but you definitely see the difference once you are able to incorporate this in your lifestyle.

The teachings are very extensive, teachers at Anadbodha are very knowledgeable  and working for a greater cause. Class timings might fell short but you can't get enough of teachings they incorporate in every class.

I have lot of gratitude for Shivachittam Sir and Rupesh Sir for hosting this great platform where one can learn 'How to Live'. I would recommend this course from Anandbodha to everyone whether one wants to become a yoga teacher or not. We have the potential to achieve so much only if we know how to manage ourselves. This course in my opinion is bound to bring the best in oneself in any field one might be working.

We learn how to manage ourselves very well with this course. We should get this training from childhood but it's never too late. It is fun and not at all boring as it might appear. Within this 4 months period we can intent and aim to be a better version of ourselves. The results vary based on intention, efforts and consistency but results are for sure.

Amaze yourself and Inspire Others with this journey.

Teachers are very knowledgeable and experienced. They know the right method of teaching. Each and every concept got cleared by giving examples. I am fully impressed by their teaching methods. There are regular classes which makes our body flexible and active. Meditation is very important part of this syllabus which works on our mind. If mind will healthy and fit then whole body will be functioning properly. It also open and activate psychic channels in our body. Many practices like Shankhprakchhal-an, Jalneti and Kunjal seems very tough but all these practices done very easily because instructions are very clear.

I am feeling very excited because I am working with more knowledge. Right knowledge makes us more aware to do the work.

I count myself blessed that I did my Meditation Teacher Training Course from Anandabodh Yoga School. Shivachittam Sir is truly the fountain of knowledge and bliss and every class with him was fascinating and full of value. We learnt the practice and theory of Meditation in the style of prestigious Bihar Yoga/Satyananda Yoga tradition. Personally, I feel more connected to my inner self and to everything around me. Before enrolling in this course, I used to practice meditation as a way to relax myself, to calm myself and feel happy in general. This course made me aware of the truly transforming abilities that Meditation has, how it helps us to connect to our higher power and access the wisdom and strength of this higher power to guide us through life. Yoga and Meditation are indeed a way of life and I had read about this before countless times, this course gave me tools and insights to fully embrace this lifestyle. Right from the moment I wake up to the moment I sleep, and beyond that as well. As a teacher, I feel more confident because of the vast knowledge imparted to me in a very structured and organised way. The course covered the very basic aspect of Meditation to the very advance one. As Meditation Teachers, it is our responsibility to give students what they come seeking - be it Mental peace, improving their focus, overcoming social anxiety, and so on. This course will help you deliver on that. Thank you.

My meditation teacher training course was an incredible and enriching journey. Shivchintan Sir is a veritable fountain of knowledge. All the lessons and exercises taught by him such as Pranayam, the Chakra studies, Yog Mudra, Antarmaun, Ajapajap, Bandh and other Mudras were explained in minute detail and immense clarity. He makes the difficult to grasp concepts clear with his detailed reasoning and demonstrations with utmost patience and a rare gift of vision. I have been practicing Yoga for over 10 years but the past three months have been a unique experience for me due to the teachings imparted by him. The ability to feel light as well as attaining and maintaining a state of 'Sam bhav' - equanimity in adverse circumstances comes with great toil and determination. He has however, made me feel fairly adept at entering and remaining in that extraordinary, rewarding state. I shall forever be grateful and indebted to him for allowing me this great honour and an opportunity to learn under his tutelage.

Shivachittam ji, is an excellent teacher in all respects. His words speak of his depth of knowledge and his commitment to the field of Yoga. I did not had to doubt or double check any of his words as inside me I felt he cannot be wrong. It appears to me he lives and breathes yoga which is very evident in his way of teaching and sharing his knowledge. It is very rare that good teachers in the field of yoga are also willing to share their knowledge and experience. Meditation TTC was a very good experience for me to get an in-depth idea of the meditation techniques and their purposes. In the course we not only touched upon meditation but also pranayama and Bandhas as it contributes significantly to meditation. The course covers practical as well theory lessons. Candidates also conduct meditation sessions without any written script in front of them, which is very helpful and I gained a lot of confidence in my speech and delivery of meditation classes. All in all it was a deep learning experience for me as we touched upon many topics, did in-depth study of chakras. Class session also involve sharing our experiences in meditation which was important to understand the journey forward. A big ThankYou for Shivachittam ji for time and commitment in sharing his knowledge and experience with his students.

Good morning everyone!
Today I am going to share about my Yoga journey. Recently I have completed my Yoga TTC from Anandabodh Institute of Yoga, Gurugram. The founder of the institute is Mr. Shivachittam Sir. He is a very experienced and professional Yoga Teacher. He is a great personality and a true passion for teaching and inspire others. They empower students with an amazing positive attitude. They follow the prestigious Bihar School of Yoga tradition in their teachings. It is a Holistic-integrated school of Yoga.
I learnt Yoga in its wholesome form, not only some Asanas and Pranayama, but a lot of other components of yoga, it's truly a self realization for me. It has totally change my life. I gained a beautiful harmony between head, heart and hand through the practices we learnt during the course. It's a very amazing journey and a greatful experience with Sir. This is not just a course but it teaches us to be self dependent and how to present ourselves in the professional journey of yoga.
Anandabodh Institute of Yoga has a top class facility related to yoga.
If any of you want to do the teacher training course then this is a highly recommended place to start your yoga journey!

I did the 200 hours Yoga TTC at Anandabodh, and to say the least, it was a transformative experience. Coming from a corporate background and having done yoga only at gym, I started with a very limited understanding of yoga. What followed were 4 months of understanding yoga in its entirety, consistent practice and finishing with a holistic perspective. At the end of the course, not only did my understanding evolve to a different level but also, there was an upliftment in my lifestyle. All credits to the wonderful teacher who facilitated the training so well. Shivachittam sir is the best person in the field to learn from. His knowledge and wisdom shone throughout the course. I am grateful that I could get guidance from him so early on in my yoga journey.

My experience of the Teacher Training Course with Anandabodh
I was always keen on learning yoga in its purist form. I had followed a certain Yoga group for over ten years and I thought I knew quite a bit. I had even taken Sessions in the past but I knew my knowledge was haphazard and limited.
I feel so blessed to have found Anandabodh school and Shivachitam as the teacher. I came and asked 100s of questions before starting as I was so skeptical about who I will invest my time and money with! I started after being convinced that I’ve met the right teacher. As the classes began , I started to learn about Yoga as it is! It was beautiful to learn from someone who has profound knowledge of the subject and has been trained from the best insititude. I’m grateful for what all I’ve learned and I cannot wait to pass my new found learnings with the world.
Highly recommend it to anyone who wants to learn from the best!
