I keep things simple, whether it's on the mat or in the kitchen. My approach is all about *aharviharacharvichar* - basically, what you eat, how you live, and what you think, all matter. If you’re looking for a space where yoga and food come together without any fuss, you’re in the right place. ### How I Blend Yoga & Cooking - I run half-day events in Mumbai, where we start with a strong Ashtanga Vinyasa or Mysore-style flow, focusing on breath and movement. - After yoga, we sit down together for a full Kerala *Sadhya* - think a plant-based Indian feast, served on banana leaves. It’s satvik, meaning it’s pure and balancing, not heavy or too spicy. - Sometimes, especially during Onam or Vishu, I host small, home-style meals at my place. No restaurant vibes, just real festival food, good company, and a Kerala feel. ### What You Can Expect - Mindful eating workshops that help you tune in to your body. - Traditional yoga and food event in a relaxed, friendly setting. - Loads of South Indian classics - dosa, *unniyappam*, high-protein salads, and simple soups. I keep it healthy, vegetarian, and close to what I grew up with. If you want to experience yoga and food the way we do in Kerala, join me. Sometimes it’s messy, sometimes it’s magic, but it’s always real. ## Highlights Browse through Anil Chandran's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/yogabyanil/yoga-culinary-experiences/featured) - ![This is a traditional Kerala Sadhya, a feast for the senses served on a fresh banana leaf.

You’ll find me on the mat or in the kitchen, both places I call home. Born and raised in Kerala, I grew up watching my mom whip up Unniyappam and the whole Onam sadhya—now I do the same, even when it’s just me. Cooking is meditation for me, just like yoga. That’s why I started 'Yoga Prasadam'—we move, we eat, we connect. Soul and body, both happy. Come join sometime! ### My work - **Yoga Classes - Online & Offline**: I teach Ashtanga yoga for beginners and Hatha yoga, both online and in Santacruz, Mumbai. Personal sessions too. - **Yoga Prasadam Workshop**: We do Vinyasa flow together, then share an authentic Kerala Sadhya feast. It’s all about mind-body balance. - **Yoga Retreats**: Sometimes I host retreats in the Himalayas, mixing yoga practice with food and community. - **My Teaching Approach**: You don’t have to be great to start. I listen, guide, and help you find your own rhythm. ## More services from Anil Chandran - [Authentic Kerala Dining Experiences](https://mytribe.in/yogabyanil/authentic-kerala-dining-experiences) · ₹500-1,200 per person (estimate) - [Yoga Instruction](https://mytribe.in/yogabyanil/yoga-instruction) · ₹300-700 per group class (offline, 1 hour) (estimate) ## Experts similar to Anil Chandran on mytribe - [Yoga Retreats & Workshops by Yoga with Anindita](https://mytribe.in/yogawithanindita/yoga-retreats-workshops) · ₹500-1,500 per workshop session (estimate) · Yoga with Anindita - [Yoga Workshops & Corporate Wellness by Rohit Flow Yoga](https://mytribe.in/rohitflowyoga/yoga-workshops-corporate-wellness) · ₹5-25K per session (estimate) · Mumbai Metropolitan Area - [Corporate & Private Group Yoga by The Yoga Tribe Studio](https://mytribe.in/theyogatribestudio/corporate-private-group-yoga) · ₹1,800-4,500 per group session (60 min) (estimate) · The Yoga Tribe Studio, Mumbai - [Yoga and Movement Classes by Anokhi Garden](https://mytribe.in/anokhigardenbombay/yoga-and-movement-classes) · ₹500-1,200 per class (estimate) · Mumbai - [Specialized Workshops & Events by Svādhyāya by Devyani](https://mytribe.in/svadhyaya_bydevyani/specialized-workshops-events) · ₹2-12K per participant per event (estimate) · Svadhyaya - By Devyani - [Yoga Instruction by Samarth Jani](https://mytribe.in/yogabysamarthjani/yoga-instruction) · ₹1,200-3,500 per session (estimate) · Zenergy - [Studio & Community Offerings by Yogam](https://mytribe.in/yogam.life/studio-community-offerings) · ₹3,000-5,500 per participant per workshop (estimate) · Yogam Isha Hatha Yoga - Navi Mumbai - [Pizza Making Workshops by Akasha Pizza Heaven](https://mytribe.in/akashapizzaheaven/pizza-making-workshops) · ₹1,500-6,000 per person (estimate) · Akasha Pizza Heaven (Neapolitan Pizza's and Pizza catering) - [Specialized Yoga Workshops by Thorat Yogashala](https://mytribe.in/shrithorat_yoga/specialized-yoga-workshops) · ₹500-1,500 per participant per session (estimate) · Shri Thorat Yoga - [Yoga Instruction by Sangeeta Kalyan](https://mytribe.in/sangeetakalyan/yoga-instruction) · ₹3,500-7,000 per month (group class) (estimate) · Mumbai Metropolitan Area - [Yoga Instruction by Sejal Gupta](https://mytribe.in/sejalyoga/yoga-instruction) · ₹400-1,200 per session (estimate) · SejalYoga Mumbai Office - Authorised Ashtanga Yoga Teacher ## Book To book Anil Chandran, message mytribe on WhatsApp: [Chat on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/916360004054?text=Hi%2C%20I'm%20looking%20for%20Yoga%20%26%20Culinary%20Experiences%20by%20Anil%20Chandran.)
