Dear Anil Ji, I am writing to let you know that I have been blessed to get a chance to follow your classes and now my daily practice includes sun salutations with handstands (even though close to the wall, yet to learn an independent hand stand). Your warm up exercises give a good strength in my core mussels and an overall balancing strengths that goes from head to toes. Thank you for that!

Definitely recommend popping by if you're in Varkala. A drop in class or ttc will be a great experience and you will make a friend for life!

Pasando por varios gurús en Yoga, puedo decir que Anil es de lo mejor que he conocido y me encanta el tándem que hacen Manjula y él. Yo me formé con otras escuelas de Yoga, ya que no los conocía a ellos, sino indudablemente que los hubiera elegido. Fué un regalo el que una amiga Yogi me hablase de las clases Online que imparten , ya que llevo disfrutando de ellas desde hace más de un año. Y hace un mes estuve en Varkala y pude disfrutar también de sus clases en persona, ahí también tomé clase con Manjula y me encanta su energía y maestría. Volveré a India a practicar con ellos pero, mientras tanto, tomaré clases online 💓🙌🏽🌺. Aquí una fiel seguidora, agradecida de poder nutrirme y seguir aprendiendo de vuestra sabiduría.

I love how knowledge is shared with respect for tradition, through discipline and humility. I did my 300 hrs. YTTC and I definitely experienced a transformation, not only in my asana practice, but in my confidence as an instructor and also in my knowledge on the other limbs of yoga. I definitely recommend it to anyone who is looking for deep learning and true transformation. placerdelmovimiento2025-05-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I met Anil ji (Baba) during my 200-hour yoga TTC in February 2019, and I’ve been practicing with him through online Zoom classes ever since as well as a yearly visit to practice in person in Varkala. He has mastered the art of both in person and online teaching, creating an incredible experience where students from all over the world come together to practice. Anil ji is a wise and compassionate teacher whose coaching is filled with clarity and kindness. He challenges and accommodates each student, guiding them to push their physical and mental boundaries in ways that leave you feeling grateful for the practice. He inspires you to exceed what you thought was possible, both in body and mind. His depth of experience and knowledge of yoga is unmatched by anything I’ve encountered before. I always look forward to Anil ji's classes because I know I’ll come away having learned something valuable, and it always feels like “exactly what I needed.” Manjula was my fellow student during 300hr TTC. She is a wonderful, authentic teacher. Together they create a transformative yoga experience. If anyone can elevate your yoga practice to the next level, it’s Baba and Manjula at Yoga Tirth! 🕉️🧘♀️ Judith Heijnen2025-05-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The best!! ❣️Yoga Tirth in Varkala offers an exceptional Yoga Teacher Training Course (TTC) under the expert guidance of instructors Manjula and Anil. Their dedication to preserving traditional Hatha and Ashtanga yoga practices is evident in every aspect of the program. yoga-tirth Natassia Esposito2025-05-25Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I spent one incredible week at Yoga Tirth for the 50hr yin course in March 2025. Manju and Anil teach with such wisdom and respect for the tradition. They showed me what true karma yoga looks like. I learned so much, not just about yoga, but about the culture from which the practice originates. It was fully immersive and transformative. I'm so grateful to have had this experience!

My husband and I have been taking lessons from both Manjula and Anil Baba for over a year now. Their expertise in yoga and passion for the practice are evident in every session.

What I love most about their classes is their ability to tailor the lessons to each student’s ability. They help you understand your strengths and weaknesses and provide the guidance needed to progress. I feel so much stronger and healthier both mentally and physically since I started my lessons.
Their positivity is infectious, both in and out of class!

He is the best teacher ever!!

I’ve been attending Manjula’s classes and I’m consistently impressed by her inclusive teaching style. She fosters a safe and a supportive environment where individualised attention is given utmost importance.

Her extensive knowledge of yoga philosophy and anatomy makes complex concepts easily understandable for all levels. Her clear communication and encouragement promotes interest and love for yoga among her students. With a genuine passion for yoga, Manjula creates an uplifting experience in every class. Lucky to have her as my guru✨❤️

I met Anil (Baba) during my 200hr yoga TTC in Kappil Beach (close to Varkala, Kerala) in Feb 2019 and I’ve continued practicing with him via online Zoom classes to date, for more than three years now.

He has perfected the art of online teaching and it’s great to practice with students from all over the world.
Anil is a wise and loving teacher and his coaching support is infused with that same compassion and clarity.
Anil is a wonderful teacher, he is very challenging and accommodating. He has a way of guiding his students to new limits, both physically and mentally, which has you leaving his class with a sense of gratitude for practicing. He encourages you to do your best and motivates you to go further than you’d ever thought your body or mind were able to. His experience and knowledge of the yoga practice he brings is of a whole other level than I’ve ever encountered.
I always look forward to one of Anil’s classes as I know I will be leaving feeling like I learnt so much and “it was just what I needed”.
If there’s anyone who can bring your yoga practice to the next level, it’s Baba! 🕉️🧘♀️❤️

Anil was a critical aspect of my training in the 200 Hour YTT in Kerala. He worked with our group every day on Adjustment and Alignment with tons of hands-on instruction.
Read more
It felt like a light bulb went off in my head every single day, learning about my own body and how to effectively and safely make adjustments to my fellow classmates. We learned all of the fundamentals of the alignment of each individual body type and techniques to adjust postures in order to increase strength and flexibility in the body and improve alignment. I found the training and information so valuable and key for my success in becoming a yoga Instructor that I worked privately with Anil after my training was complete. With him I received 1 on 1 instruction on several ways to properly make adjustments which increased my knowledge and confidence before going out into the yoga teaching world. Thanks, Anil for being such an integral part of my training. I look forward to working with you again one day in the future!

I have been practicing yoga since 2016 with multiple teachers but none of the experiences come as close as that of with yoga with Anil Baba.
Read more
He has been the only one who has been kind & patient with my practice & has guided me through techniques in order to achieve any yoga pose. Last few months of zoom classes with him has helped me grow stronger in my body as well as my asana practice and I have progressed majorly in many asanas that were difficult for me earlier. Also, these classes kept me sane through pandemic times. I cannot wait to go back to Varkala to practice in person with Baba who has contributed so much to my yogi life. Don’t think twice if you want to practice yoga with him. He gracefully guides all practitioners, from beginner to advanced level. So grateful for his teachings! 🙏❤️😁
