Established in Stroud, United Kingdom (2023) by its founder Michael, Anukala Yoga Community shares relevant Yogic practices & Vedantic philosophy with modern practitioners.
We are a collective of like-minded individuals that recognise the importance & benefit of Yoga for the well-being & upliftment of people & society.
In Yoga’s ability to alleviate much of the suffering from a person’s life & reveal their innate nature, it allows for them to operate within the world with greater responsibility, simplicity & kindness, benefiting all.
Anukala (अनुकाल) is a Sanskrit word & translated means -
'Opportune, timely, adapted &/or suited to the time.'
For Anukala Yoga Community looks to revive those forgotten truths of Yoga for today's age. Albeit, nowadays, Yoga’s inherent benefits & underpinning tenets are often misapprehended or ignored.
AYC promotes an integral approach towards Yoga & its varied practices. Focussing on more than just the well-known postures & breathwork. This allows practitioners to learn, develop & move towards spirituality in accordance with their day-to-day responsibilities.

Michael has always had held an interest in Yoga, Eastern philosophy & the occult. Leaving a 19-year career in high-end hospitality to study & practice yogasanas, pranayam & meditation techniques under the instruction of Swami Govindanand Saraswati of Sivananda Yoga Peetham & becoming certified to teach.
Moreover, it was during the 18-months residing at the ashram of his Guru, Swami Premananda Saraswati Maharaj, in the Indian Himalayas, that Michael received the knowledge & stamp required to share the teachings of Yoga & Vedanta.
Practices & spiritual precepts, derived through the ancient tradition of Guru Parampara, that combined with his own personal experience, Michael imparts into Anukala Yoga Community. Providing practitioners the tools & knowledge needed to improve their health, well-being & develop lasting serenity throughout all of life’s circumstances.
We provide training, support & guidance to all Yoga practitioners or anyone interested in the inner-workings of this body, mind & phenomenal existence to progress along the spiritual path, discern the precepts of Eastern philosophy with greater effect & improve their physical functioning & mental health.
