Anna Kalyani

I am Anna Kalyani, yoga teacher and therapist and student shiatsu practitioner. At 24 I had an experience which revealed the deep trauma in my life. The path towards balance has opened up a world of interesting and inspiring avenues which fill my daily life, I am very grateful for this trauma, it has brought God back into my life and set the art of healing as my soul purpose, joy and service. I am passionate about sharing the knowledge and success I have found in my healing journey with others. This has propelled me into doing many hundreds of hours practising yoga and the healing art of shiatsu.

From a young age I was actively involved and passionate about sports, horse-riding and music. I first discovered yoga in my late teens, I enjoyed the benefits it had on my other sports; improving my long distance running and swimming and the effect on my general well-being as well as relaxation, meditation and breathe work. In 2014 I did my first 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training in Spain. After the training I went on to teach Yoga, breath-work meditation, chanting and help with cooking wholesome Vegan/ Vegetarian food in Teacher Trainings annually for 5 years. I offer a variety of yoga classes to individuals or groups, dynamic energetic classes, incorporating Chinese meridian stretching, yoga therapy, restoration and healing as well as Vipassana Yoga. I am influenced by the Sivinanda Vedanta School, where I am a qualified teacher, as well as the Iyengar and Asthanga schools. Since 2015 I have been a student of Shiatsu & Traditional Chinese Medicine, studying and offering shiatsu.

True healing comes from within ourselves, from a deep honest dialogue with the self. This healing requires opening the walls around the heart and engaging with a different perspective. A perspective which allows the ego to drop the ‘I’ in the wound and begin to see how we can grow, evolve, learn, share and give. Life is impermanent and nothing will last forever, this is dharma (law). If we move beyond our suffering we realise how much we can help others to move beyond theirs. When we live in the present without trauma we truly live with aliveness. I am passionate in empowering others to re-awaken their natural joy and aliveness, here and now.

Antoaneta Gotea

Antoaneta Maria Gotea was born in July 1972, in Bucharest, Romania. Memories of his early age about his father practicing complicated physical exercises (known in yoga as uddiyana bandha) and unusual breathing (pranayama) synergistically connected with his mother's teachings on the existence of subtle bodies and reincarnation, and this flourished later in true spirituality. aspiration.

Her search for an authentic spiritual path led her at the age of 21 to a yoga course while studying at the Polytechnic University of Bucharest. She studied Raja yoga, Mahavidya yoga, and Kashmir Shaivism at a yoga school in Romania. In 1997 she started leading women's groups to practice Mahavidya yoga, her favorite branch of yoga.

The first encounter with meditation was in 2000 when she joined her partner, Sahajananda, for a meditation retreat in one of the remote caves of the Romanian countryside. The 3 weeks he spent in solitude and silence made him understand for the first time how difficult it is to calm the mind, how much discipline and perseverance it is necessary to have to deepen meditation and what determination is needed for those who aspire to know the truth. The confrontation with herself was harsh but she woke up. After this experience, a deep longing for solitude and meditation awakened in her. The following year she rejoined her companion in the cave for a second remote meditation retreat. The deep happiness he felt when he returned to the same cave where the first glimpses of meditation appeared is very difficult to describe. Another significant retreat was an 18-day kaya kalpa (dark retreat) retreat that he did together with Sahajananda.

She has continued on the path of meditation by joining the Hridaya Silent Meditation Retreats led by Sahajananda in Romania, Mexico and Thailand.

In 2008, she graduated from a 500-hour teacher training course and began teaching in Thailand and Romania.

In 2010, he had a great opportunity to get more in touch with the depth of Tibetan Buddhism when he attended the Dalai Lama's teachings in Bodhgaya, the 10-day Phowa retreat with Grandmaster Ayang Rinpoche, and the meditation course "The Art of happy life. " with Mingyur Rinpoche at Tergar Monastery in Bodhgaya, India. Since that time, Buddhist teachings on compassion and bodhichitta have been fused with the Hridaya yoga practice based on the non-dual teachings of the great sage of Arunachala, Ramana Maharshi.

In 2011, Sahajananda and Antoaneta, working together, gave birth to the first Hridaya Yoga and Meditation Teacher Training Course. She had the great opportunity to be the coordinator of the first HTTC and also to teach an incredible group of students, lovers of meditation.

And the spiritual journey continues... Meditation retreats continue... Meditation is a continuous transformation of the mind. Until the mind becomes completely internal and sinks into its source, which is the Spiritual Heart (Hridaya), effort is necessary.

"Meditation will bring Light to your heart. So meditate, meditate, meditate. Meditation brings you to the highest state of divine knowledge and eternal joy. So meditate, meditate, meditate. " Swami Sivananda

Meditation and Yoga Online Course (8 weeks)

The aim of this 8 Week program is to facilitate a space to deepen your relationship and practise of Meditation. We will also be doing Yoga, Yoga enables us to sit for longer periods of time with comfort and ease in the body and unravel old tension and memory stuck in the body. Yoga is also the science of breath control, through awareness and breathing exercises we improve our lung capacity and slow down our breathing, also vital for higher levels of meditation. I can offer recommended books and breathing exercises (pranayama) if you are interested at any stage.

The body-mind are two sides of the same coin, so therefore it is essential for longer periods of seated meditation to be prepared in the body.

What you will learn:

1. How to enter in a meditative state using different methods depending on different situations.
2. How to go deeper into meditation very quickly learning how to use the balancing factors during meditation (coaching is provided at all times).
3. How to dissolve thought patterns from the subconscious mind and eradicate negative ones.
4. How to use meditation to heal chronic stress and illnesses.
5. How to overcome strong emotions such as fear, anger, guilt, shame, etc.
6. You will understand the energy work dynamics in our body & mind at an experiential level.
7. You will also realize at the experiential level how illness is created in the body due to negative thoughts in the mind.
8. How meditation can make a difference in your life, releasing your inner conflicts to optimize all your unlimited creativity.

As we meditate more we realise that longer periods of meditation are essential for deeper practise, in this case we need a body that can sit in long periods of meditation without needing to move due to pain. Yoga is therefore essential in opening up the hips and bringing the shoulders back and down, so we can sit in ease. Through Yoga we learn breathing techniques which improve our lung capacity, and slow down the heart rate, encouraging more peaceful states of mind. Breathing techniques can also be used to help with agitation of the mind before meditation.

Course Structure:

The online course structure is subdivided into 8 weekly modules or sections.

Meditation:We will be using the Anapana and Vipassana technique of meditation, along with the Spiritual Heart meditation, protection meditation, balancing of masculine and feminine energy and Meta meditation. We start with Anapana meditation technique, focusing our awareness and developing concentration. The Vipassana Meditation technique is about learning how to dissolve negative patterns stored in your subconscious mind, which in many cases, are the cause of physical illness or mental barriers that do not let you achieve the goals you set. It is an effective of purifying crystallised energy stored in the subconscious mind.

We will also share with you some short meditation practices about how to protect yourself and heal your energy, as well as balancing your masculine and feminine energy. We will also be practising Meta meditation, this is a gratitude practice, of aligning ourselves with love and permeating this through ourselves and the universe, promoting a harmonious and healthy world and aligning ourselves with our future aspirations through conscious creation.

Yoga: enables us to bring flexibility into the body while marrying the breath with movement. I will be encouraging you to practise long hold yoga postures throughout the program. By this I mean staying 10/20 minutes in one posture. (like a lying down butterfly, hero pose, child’s pose or twist). By staying for longer periods of time in postures, we begin a dialogue with the self, and release accumulated tension and stress in the body. This in term purifies the subconscious mind and is a very therapeutic process.

The minimum recommendation is 2 Yoga Sessions a week (for example, one led class online with Anna, and one self practise of long hold postures) as well as one Yoga Nidra session a week. The more hours spent in practise, the more quickly we will benefit. For those who have time it is recommended to practise more, for outcome and results reflect the amount of time we put in. 

Here I present you with the list and explanation of the postures you will be practising in the long holds.
