This course provided knowledgeable teachers, I gain more than what the textbook has given and what I have expected. The anatomy part is really great and detailed. I love it very much. Through the course, I think myself has improved in experiencing the differences on body and mindset. My flexibility and inner strength is improving, as I can do some of the advanced poses that I couldn't do before. I learn how to relief stress and calm myself better especially for the past few months with the work stress. Before the course, I know stretching is essential to our body only. After this course, my concept is more well-rounded with the development of mind, body and spirit.

Months of yoga training hasn't been quiet an easy journey for me. I had fears to overcome as I had doubts and questions to myself before applying the course; Is it ok to apply if I can’t even touch my toes in forward bend? How am I going to manage my time between classes, work and personal obligations? After all, I am glad that I applied the yoga teacher training course because I’ve learned a lot of things from it about myself, yoga and life. The teacher training course was a major eye opener, I’ve learned many lessons, I’ve met some amazing yoga lovers; I’ve overcome countless obstacles. Throughout my yoga teacher training, I learned so much about my body, I have a better understanding of what my body can do and what adjustment I should make for myself in my yoga practice. I am thankful for my practice with the masters and the others that yoga helps being a better self. Yoga taught me self-love. Also, I am grateful that I’ve learned how to be a good yoga instructor, A good instructor can read their class, and adjust as required even the tone of the voice is needed to be considered. Masters from Anahata have given me many gifts. Yoga is an ongoing practice, I will continue my practice to be a better me and to get better at living. Namaste!

It's great experience for me to know the real meaning of Yoga according to this course. All the masters are enthusiastic about the yoga and showed genuine concern for me.

I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to participate in this yoga teacher training course. The delivery of the course was exceptional, exceeding my expectations in every aspect. The teachers demonstrated profound knowledge, provided engaging and interactive sessions, and created a supportive learning environment. The course administration was well-organized, and the materials provided were comprehensive. Overall, this transformative experience has equipped me with the skills and knowledge to embark on my teaching journey. Thank you for this remarkable opportunity.

My 300-hour therapy training is informative and practical. All instructors are experienced and generous in sharing their knowledges. I am very satisfied with my classes. thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience.

This is an awesome therapy course where we learned about human anatomy, doshas, chakras, diets, body conditions and therapy techniques (including asanas, meditation, diets and natural therapy) for various ailments in details. I came to realise how little I knew about human mind and body but how powerful yoga can be applied in daily life to help myself live a healthier lifestyle but also as importantly, how to help my yoga students and friends and family relieve pain and improve health by really focusing on their unique anatomy and designing the right sequence very much based on what they need. Thank you so much Master Yogananth, Master Vishnu, Master Anurag, Master Dilip and Master Mahesh for sharing their invaluable knowledge and experience with us!

The content of this course is very practice, I can apply what I learnt to my clients. Their feedback also positive. I am satisfy with the course. I will join AYC to see how to apply these learning in various community projects.

I love this course very much The master is very professional I would recommend to my friends of this course and school

What an eye-opening and meaningful experience! Personally I think that this is a course for everyone who loves yoga as it really helps widen and deepen my vision of what Yoga and Yoga Therapy is. I feel lucky and amazing that I had the chance to attend this course in Hong Kong. I learnt a lot of knowledge about the authentic Yoga Therapy from this comprehensive, scientific, theory-based yet pragmatic course. Masters are all very professional, incredibly knowledgeable, enthusiastic, passionate yet humorous and approachable. They created a very joyful learning atmosphere in the classes which made me forget the tiredness after work and be able to enjoy the 3-hour class every time.

The first part of the course (Nov-Dec) was really good and informative. The second part (Jan) could have been more structured, informative and condensed. The last part of the course involving the practical Yoga Therapy was very useful and effective.

I HAVE REALLY ENJOYED THIS COURSE. IT HAS OPENED ME TO SO MANY AREA OF KNOWLEDGE LIKE TRIDOSHA,MARMA POINTS,YOGA NIDRA ,CHAKRAS, DIET ASPECTS, AYURVAEDIC TREATMENTS,PHYSICAL STUDY OF BODY ANATOMY THEN LEARNING IN DEATAILS VARIOUS BODY AILMENTS, THERE CAUSES AND RELATING THEM TO ABOVE CONCEPTS TO TRY TO FIND A COMPREHENSIVE REHABILITATION YOGA THERAPY PROGRAM. MAY BE WE CAN HAVE SOME PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE OF DESIGNING AND APPLYING THE YOGA THERAPY TO A REAL LIFE SITUATION.

This course provides me a more broader understand about yoga and its principles. In addition to asana practice, the combination of meditation, pranayama, diet management and kriyas are essential to maintain a healthy live and can reach therapeutic goals. After this course, I can benefit from the knowledge learned myself and hopefully can share my experience with others to bring healthy live to those who has the will to pursue.

Overall I had a fantastic experience. I found the content appropriate and the teachers knowledgable and helpful. The front desk is very helpful and were always available to help with queries. Maybe a little more physical asana practise and less theory so that I can apply some of the modified asanas would be helpful but overall I am more than satisfied and would recommend this course to others.

It is amazing, enjoyable and rewarding during my yoga journey and teaching journey. Thanks for the support and kindness.

It's been a great learning experience. After I took my first 200-hr YTT in 2014 and started to teach part time, people started to ask me what they should do if they have different kind of conditions. At that time, I had no idea what to advise. This course has helped me in understanding my own anatomy and what and how to observe others. Although it is an introductory for common diseases and injuries, it helps me to understand more about how yoga therapy could help and what I could advise client and design a class specific for different types of condition.

This is my first TT program with Anahata and it's an eye opening experience for me. The course was well structured and had a good balance between theroy and practice. The part I enjoyed the most is the topic on marmas, and I will try and do more studies on it on my own. Sorry for the late submission of assignment, was occupied by work these days, many apoligies. Namaste!

I thought the course was useful by providing me with a better understanding of the body, it's muscular skeletal system and the ailments that a person can be diagnosed with and how to manage it with the practice of yoga therapy. It would have been even better if we could have spent more time on learning about Ayurvedic Medicine in more depth but I understand this a vast subject to cover in such a short amount of time.

The course is meaningful which teaches me a lot of knowledge about yoga therapy. I've found out that yoga therapy can help people with diseases. It also makes me know that practising yoga can change a people’s life and even their family member's.

Overall, the Advanced Practice teacher training was a tremendous growth experience for me, both physically (increased strength & flexibility) and mentally (improved confidence, courage & knowledge). I had reached a point in my personal practice where I was no longer progressing by going to group classes and wanted to learn how to take my practice to the next level. Additionally, I was interested in teaching professionally and wanted to get some experience to see if I would enjoy it and to see if I had the aptitude for it. I was pleased with the variety of postures we focused on throughout the course and the three hour class duration provided the opportunity to really open my body and try more challenging poses. This, coupled with the personal assistance given by the instructors and the knowledge I gained of the muscular anatomy helped me to learn not just which muscles to engage/relax when doing challenging postures, but also how to properly warm up the body and which neutralizing movements and counter-poses to do in order to prevent injury. I found the manuals to be extremely informative. They were instrumental during the course and will serve as an ongoing reference for my personal practice. The photographic sequence for the Warm Up and Steps provided a great visual guide to achieving certain postures and the related text helped to increase my knowledge of the anatomy involved with each pose, as well as the health benefits. As for the supplemental sections, Rope yoga was particularly useful in order to learn how to safely use the props to open the body and practicing the Kriyas was a great experience that seems important for anyone who wants to teach. Partner yoga was fun and probably good for future teachers to be aware of the practice, but I did not find it to be critical and would prefer to work on more individual poses, if I were to do the course over again. Minor suggestions for improvement include: highlighting which of the warm up poses is the eligibility pose, in the text you could suggest a counter pose, highlight risk of injury and add what the main challenge of the pose is, lastly page numbers would be great to save time in class. During the training my greatest challenge, as well as my greatest area of growth, came during the teaching exercises. I appreciated learning more about the anatomy for specific postures, which translated into a better understanding of how to get into the poses myself, as well as how to articulate to someone else how to do so. I was grateful for all the opportunities given throughout the course to practice assisting one another. Personally, I was nervous to lead the class and appreciated that we were eased into the experience over the three modules, starting with leading the chanting, teaching warm up, teaching two poses and ending by running 1/3 of a class. As someone interested in teaching, the more opportunities to practice, the better, if not to get over my nerves on the mat, then to figure out how to put together a comprehensive sequence for a full class. I know time is limited during the actual course, so Ive welcomed the opportunity to work with the Andiappan community. It has provided invaluable exposure to students and has allowed me to find my own voice and become more comfortable with my teaching style. The Teaching Methodology handout has been a helpful resource, providing general instructions on how to conduct oneself as a teacher and a detailed framework for how to structure a class. If you were able to expand on it and offer some sample sequences for classes that focused on back bending, forward bending, shoulders and upper back, hip and hamstring opening or inversions, Im sure future students would appreciate. Lastly, the single greatest value of the course came from Master Yogananth Andiappan. His personal practice is an inspiration and his guidance, wisdom and humility made him, as well as the advanced yoga postures, wholly accessible. I had complete confidence in his knowledge and ability to adjust me in such a way as to get into poses that seemed beyond my reach. Thank you for providing such an amazing experience.

IT WAS AN AMAZING JOURNEY TO FIND OUT THE LIMITATIONS OF OUR BODY AND HAVING THE PATIENCE, TO BUILD THE FLEXIBILITY AND STRENGTH. I LIKED THE INSTRUCTION FOR WARMUP OF ALL DIFFERENT MUSCLE GROUPS WITH ANATOMICAL EXPLANATION. ALSO THE ANATOMICAL REQUIREMENTS IN TERMS OF READINESS FOR APARTICULAR POSE AND WARM UPS DIRECTED TO THAT.

Comprehensive and authentic teacher training program. Namaste!

I could learn the yoga basics overall. Teachers are amazing and very satisfied about the class thank you!

IT WAS A NICE COMPREHENSIVE COURSE TO HAVE A BASIC KNOWLEDGE OF YOGA FROM ALL ANGLES LIKE ASANAS, ANATOMY AND SPIRITUAL CONNECTION,. LEARNING ABOUT VARIOUS YOGA SCHOOLS ,HISTORY OF YOGA, WAS A GOOD INTRODUCTION.

The more the course get into the details of yoga studying, the more there is to explore and learn. Master Yogananth was very patient and very clear in giving explanation which made learning easy and to understand. So is master Anurag. In summaries, I feel I have gained very good fundamental knowledge and authentic understanding of classical Indian yoga. Which I realise the Western approach of yoga is very different and some details are lost in translation. Thanks for the teaching. Namaste.

First of all, I enjoyed every classes thanks to all the qualified teachers. All the teachers were really committed to the class and teaching, and the class atmosphere was always quite professional and comfortable. Through this course, I found that not only my knowledge but also my interest have deepen through the course. Ive made a lot of highly motivational friends from the class also. That is also precious.
