A Yoga practitioner since early childhood, Shivachittam formally learned the rigorous practices of Yoga in his youth from the well-known Bihar School of Yoga in Bihar under the guidance of his Guru Swami NiranjananandaSaraswati. After flirting with ascetism in his early youth, he decided to dedicate his life to healing others. While at the ashram, he commenced his ongoing personal journey on how to live and think like a yogi while being an energetic part of making this world a better place.
A voracious seeker of knowledge, he subsequently gained professional degrees in psychotherapy and counselling, business administration, journalism and mass communication, and the Sciences. He is also a naturopath and certified yoga professional by the Quality Council of India as well as the Ministry of AYUSH, Government of India. A long-established user of homeopathy, Shivachittam often applies this healing to common ailments.
Shivachittam founded Anandbodh (loosely translated, Attaining Bliss) in 2002 to enable people take firm charge of their mental and emotional health, and hence their happiness, all of which are under severe strain in these post-industrial times of rapid change driven by all-pervasive commerce. Stressed or broken relationships at home and work, and ill-health due to poor diet and eating out are key symptoms of the pace of this modern world in our large cities and increasingly in our towns and villages.
Shivachittam has proven that his unique brand of slow, meditative and conscious Yoga practices, combined with personal guidance for specific health problems no matter how chronic, enable individuals regain their health and reach levels of contentment that they never previously enjoyed.

I have been learning and practising yoga, specifically the therapeutic, gentle, Bihar School of Yoga, under Master Shivachittam since my early 30s. Now 54, a mother of 5, I can truly say it is his gentle guidance, his wisdom, and his deep understanding of the body, mind and the psyche that has set me free. Now a poet, writer and activist and always a part time yoga teacher ( I undertook the Yoga teacher training under him), I teach Menopause Yoga, and other forms of therapeutic yoga in one on one or group settings. I can thoroughly vouch for his knowledge and style of teaching; I embraced yoga and yoga embraced me back, and has set me free to create, live in joy and bliss, and I would urge you to experience his classes and teacher trainings too!
I count myself blessed that I did my Meditation Teacher Training Course from Anandabodh Yoga School. Shivachittam Sir is truly the fountain of knowledge and bliss and every class with him was fascinating and full of value. We learnt the practice and theory of Meditation in the style of prestigious Bihar Yoga/Satyananda Yoga tradition. Personally, I feel more connected to my inner self and to everything around me. Before enrolling in this course, I used to practice meditation as a way to relax myself, to calm myself and feel happy in general. This course made me aware of the truly transforming abilities that Meditation has, how it helps us to connect to our higher power and access the wisdom and strength of this higher power to guide us through life. Yoga and Meditation are indeed a way of life and I had read about this before countless times, this course gave me tools and insights to fully embrace this lifestyle. Right from the moment I wake up to the moment I sleep, and beyond that as well. As a teacher, I feel more confident because of the vast knowledge imparted to me in a very structured and organised way. The course covered the very basic aspect of Meditation to the very advance one. As Meditation Teachers, it is our responsibility to give students what they come seeking - be it Mental peace, improving their focus, overcoming social anxiety, and so on. This course will help you deliver on that. Thank you.
Shivachittam ji, is an excellent teacher in all respects. His words speak of his depth of knowledge and his commitment to the field of Yoga. I did not had to doubt or double check any of his words as inside me I felt he cannot be wrong. It appears to me he lives and breathes yoga which is very evident in his way of teaching and sharing his knowledge. It is very rare that good teachers in the field of yoga are also willing to share their knowledge and experience. Meditation TTC was a very good experience for me to get an in-depth idea of the meditation techniques and their purposes. In the course we not only touched upon meditation but also pranayama and Bandhas as it contributes significantly to meditation. The course covers practical as well theory lessons. Candidates also conduct meditation sessions without any written script in front of them, which is very helpful and I gained a lot of confidence in my speech and delivery of meditation classes. All in all it was a deep learning experience for me as we touched upon many topics, did in-depth study of chakras. Class session also involve sharing our experiences in meditation which was important to understand the journey forward. A big ThankYou for Shivachittam ji for time and commitment in sharing his knowledge and experience with his students.
