Yogacharya Dr. Ananda Balayogi Bhavanani

He is best in teaching in very translational way.
He is best in sharavana (listening) to other's i never seen anyone other than him best in this.
He ignites hope even hopeless situation. A strong support. True meaning of Guru by removing the mother Avidhya (ignorance). Teacher par excellence. I know few of modern scientific Yoga research expert but he's totally different from all of them. Pioneer of Scientific Yoga research with Traditional Yoga wisdom. Samatvam and swasth seen through in his thoughts, words and actions. He's a rare gem. AUM

Dr. Sir is the most Dharmic man I know! To sincerely take up this path of Yoga one aims to merge with the path; Dr. Ananda demonstrates through his every action the realization of Yogic harmony and equanimity. To study Yoga with him we can learn hundreds of techniques and the esoteric realities of each, we can understand and see the living philosophy in action, we can be inspired to practice, most importantly, we can imbibe the sacred energies of all that is true in Yoga! I am honored to be a part of this illustrious lineage and count myself as one of his students.

Dr Ananada is the most knowledgeable yogi I have ever had the good fortune to spend some time with. A n exceptional humane being he can channel the ancient teachings in a modern scientific manner

Not only does Dr Ananda have the unique pedigree of Gitananda yoga from his father its founder, but he backs this with an encyclopaedic knowledge of the Hindu scriptures, a background of medicine and first-hand research into the physiology of yoga, and the gift of communicating his knowledge with precision, humility and humour.

Dr. Ananda Sir is a modern day yogi.
His teachings combine today’s cutting edge medical science with the ancient spiritual knowings of his paramparai.
As the sun and moon of Swami Gitananda Giri and Puduvai Shakti Meenakshi Devi, he is a synthesis of potent knowledge.
With a good sense of humor and charm Sanjaya Ananada translate and share this valuable information.

Aum Jaya

Dr. Ananda is a true yogi. These days that is hard to find. He is both an authentic yoga practitioner and a medical doctor - an amazing combination. His teachings are genuine and his experience extensive. While in India, sitting in his classes was always a great joy and we all looked forward to attending them. His ideas and perspectives on all areas of yoga are inspiring and thought provoking. And despite his outstanding qualifications Dr. Ananda remains humble and compassionate. As a teacher, there is none better.

One of the most knowledgeable teachers I have ever met. Yogacharya Ananda Balayogi Bhavanani truly embodies the teachings of yoga and is a great inspiration to all of us who strive towards a life of wisdom and greater purpose.

Dr. Ananda, an excellent humane being, a soulful One, giving the whole always without holding back, be it materialistic things .... be it teaching , name it and he extends his heart and soul, so willingly. to EVERYONE in need, expecting NOTHING in return. A Man of steady wisdom, "Stitha Prajna" as described by Lord Krishna, Dr. Ananda is a trend-setter, a role-model to thousands of his students. Am proud to be his student, the best qualification I hold. An expanded soul, a complete person, yet the most humble one, and down-to-earth. Thank you for being You that made me what me am.

Dr Ananda was born in to a yoga life with his parents Yogamaharishi Dr Swami Gitananda Giri and Yogacharini Meenakshi Devi Bhavanani. He has lived and breathed yoga for his entire life.. beginning in his mothers womb! Not only is Dr Ananda a rare yogi who embraces the yoga path and its wisdom as easily as talking about the latest movies (!), he presents it in the most inspiring and accessible manner for all.

A person who changed my life with the magic of yoga.I was an average student who did her class eight twice, I joined Yoga class in 11th Std. And today i am university rank holder in B.Sc.B.Ed and now working in a reputed school as a higher secondary teacher. Dr.Sir brought in the self confidence and courage in me. And above all this he is and has taught me through his yogic teaching how to live a life of a better human being. I am very grateful to the divine for this lifetime gift. Proud student of Dr.Sir

This man is the modern persons Guru. Highly sensitive, insightful, empathic, knowlegeble, caring, humerous and full of compassion, Dr Ananda lives, breathes and loves Yoga. This is clear the moment you meet him. To be in his presence is to be fortunate that your path has enabled you to coincide with his. Walk with him and you will know that this is something truly special. Keeping the Guru spirit alive by nurturing the paraparai is what Ananda does best - he is a credit to his parents Yogacharini Meenakshi Devi and Yogamaharishi Dr Swami Gitananda Giri.

How to write a review on such a man? Dr Ananda is truly great, with the famous Swami Gitananda Giri, his father brought him into this world and raised him along with his equally highly evolved mother Ammaji in a very authentic yoga ashram in South India, Dr Ananda has learnt and experienced so many aspects of yoga to such a depth he has a truly extraordinary life! Aswell as his authentic yogic roots, Dr Ananda is a top medical doctor who has now established a yoga therapy department in one of the best hospitals in India (Jipmer) and is constantly working, researching and publishing literature the effects of yoga. We are blessed to be able to receive teachings from such a lineage.

A rare and dynamic mix of yogic wisdom and allopathic knowledge makes Dr. Ananda a multitalented and multidisciplinary expert. My greatest respect for his inner integrity as a human being!
