Kranti Yoga is please to offer a weekly Yoga Intensive Course directly on Patnem Beach. This course is suitable for students of all levels and the course is designed so that you can learn about yoga whilst enjoying the comforts of a beach holiday. The course will be adapted to suit your ability and prior knowledge of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga. It is ideal for those who would like to develop or deepen a daily yoga practice without the responsibility of becoming a teacher.

The course will provide you with the fundamentals of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga: breath, bandhas, vinyasa and drishtis. Alignment Classes will run alongside Led Ashtanga Yoga Classes for you to gain familiarity with The Primary Series. Technical workshops will take place in the afternoon for you to focus on key areas such as hip opening, backbending and transition techniques.

It provides an insight into what Ashtanga Yoga is and allows you to start developing an Ashtanga Yoga pratice if you haven't been practicing Ashtanga Yoga previously.

Good stay in a lovely setting

I had a great week stay at Kranti. Beautiful setting and the healthy great food was a highlight.

The teaching was largely very good but a few inconsistencies. Their focus is more on the teacher training so at times the yoga holiday guests feel like an afterthought.

Overall a few improvements could be made to enhance the experience. For example my twin room was nice but the bathroom wasn't very clean. Also the yoga mats are only cleaned weekly and staff didn't acknowledge when I flagged that isn't often enough. They could easily fix this by asking guests to wipe mats after use. I'd suggest bringing your own mat!

Best experience ever

I came to Kranti to do the 200YTT Ashtanga-Vinyasa and I can honestly say it was one of the best experiences of my life.
Not only is the place dreamy and well-maintained, but the staff is super professional and friendly. Within a few days, I already felt like part of the family. The program is robust and taught with great professionalism. I want to highlight teachers Radhi, Amit, Sonaal, Ricardo, and Sean, although everyone here gives their best to teach and make you feel at home.

I really appreciate the safety; I tend to forget things, and I can say that in Kranti and the surrounding areas, you can leave any belongings and they'll stay in the same place for days, it's also a very safe environment for women, considering that many times we are afraid to come alone to India, best place to introduce yourself to Indian life.

The food is a owesome, breakfast being the best. There's a great variety of vegetarian and vegan options, and the kitchen staff prepares special dishes if there are any allergies or specific requests.

Thank you! I will return to Kranti whenever I come back to India.

200hrs YTTC

Ich habe mein TTC bei Kranti absolviert und war sehr begeisterst! Die Lehrer waren alle sehr professionell, besonders Sean war der perfekte Lehrer!

Die Anlage ist sehr schön & liegt direkt am Strand! Das Essen ist einfach nur köstlich ♥️

Bzgl Organisation & Planung besteht Bedarf an Verbesserung! Teilweise erhielten wir die schedule spät am Abend und meist immer mit für ein paar Tage! Und die Assessment könnten auch zeitlich besser geplant werden!

Ansonsten alles top 👍
