Ananda Yoga
What is Ananda Yoga
Ananda Yoga® brings yoga back to its spiritual roots, combining gentle physical movements with inner awareness to promote peace and upliftment.
Ananda Yoga Includes:
- Pairing every asana with affirmations or mantras to channel energy inward.
Prioritizing the awakening of prana (life force) over achieving perfect form.
Using gentle holds to deepen awareness of chakras and energy flow.
Cultivating inner joy through mindful movement, inspired by Paramhansa Yogananda’s teachings—not just focusing on flexibility.
Preparing the body for meditation through calming flows that make stillness accessible, even for restless minds.
Encouraging modifications to honor individual energy levels—ideal for stress relief and sensitive practitioners.

"A life-changing experience!"
My son, Sai Mahidhar (a badminton player), and I (a former Indian badminton player) have been working with Ms. Sandhya since September 2023 for yoga and meditation classes. It has been a truly life-changing experience. She understood exactly what we needed and plans each session with great care and detail. She's amazing — efficient, intuitive, and incredibly easy to work with. We feel we’ve found the perfect guru and are completely at ease with the entire process. I highly recommend her to everyone.

"A transformative yoga experience!"
I’ve been taking yoga and meditation classes with Sandhya Aunty, who is part of Ananda Sangha Hyderabad. Aunty’s guidance and expertise have helped me deepen my practice, improve my flexibility, and increase my awareness of the breath. The peaceful environment she creates provides the perfect space for relaxation and self-reflection. I leave each class feeling recharged and more in tune with my body and mind. I highly recommend her yoga classes for anyone seeking a truly transformative experience.

"Yoga on a deep and uplifting level!"
I truly enjoy Sandhya’s well-rounded yoga classes. She is an expert teacher who demonstrates physical movements clearly and combines them with easy-to-follow breath guidance and techniques. Her classes are always uplifting. I especially love when she chants mantras, shares ancient teachings, and refers to the holy scriptures — it adds so much depth and meaning. In her classes, I experience yoga on a truly deep level. Thank you!
