It has been the best learning experience of yoga for me. Thanks to Yogananth, Raja and Vishnu for their enthusiasm and professional teaching. Although I practiced yoga for a number of years, it has always been in a group environment. There are lot of fine tuning in my asanas and pranayamas which I am glad I learnt and corrected them now instead of later. Quite a few of the postures I found difficult before now becomes much easier after the instructor gave us very detail description of how to do them, and giving me specific personal instructions. It is enjoyable studying the body anatomy section. The main reason I started yoga was because of a neck/spine problems. The anatomy portion makes me more fully understand different parts of the body and how yoga can help in each area more specifically. Besides, I also benefitted from better sleep and my digestive system work better after practising yoga. Yoga is truly a body-mind experience Overall I enjoyed the course very much and was very happy to have learnt yoga in such a relaxed yet professional environment with other fellow students who share similar believes and goals. I look forward to improve further my yoga practice and possibly pass on the knowledge to others in the future.

Before the Yoga Teacher Training Course, I had always treated yoga as a form of exercise. However through the course, I have gained a much better understanding of yoga. Thanks to Master Vishnu, I learned a lot about the history, origins and philosophy of yoga. Master Yogananth has taught us cleansing and breathing techniques as well as mudras, which were all new concepts to me. I, in particular, found the practical lesson of kriya useful. I am also glad to have learned different breathing techniques, which have great health benefits. This has reinforced my belief in yoga therapy. Through the Asana module, I have had the chance to learn different postures. Master Yogananths instructions and demonstrations were very detailed and clear. I have learned a lot and have greatly improved my techniques and skills. I feel very grateful for the help and the sharing of experience offered by all the Anahata yoga teachers throughout the course. I could definitely see their passions and dedications. It was truly an amazing experience. I will for sure continue my journey as a yoga practitioner and would love to be a member of the Andiappan Yoga Community.

All the masters at this studio are incredibly helpful and caring towards students. The energy here is fantastic, and the supportive community of both students and teachers creates an inspiring atmosphere. I especially appreciate Master Phoebe’s teaching style during the Prenatal YTT. Her classes were well-structured, and she provided detailed explanations for each asana, showcasing her extensive knowledge and experience. Master Phoebe encouraged interaction, which was a great way for students to test their understanding, build confidence, and prepare for the practical assessment. Overall, it was an enriching experience!

This course has been a truly transformative experience for me. It fostered a deep sense of growth both physically and mentally, encouraging me to explore my potential and deepen my understanding of yoga philosophy and practice. The curriculum was thoughtfully designed, covering a wide range of topics including asanas, anatomy, breathing exercises, and teaching methodologies, all of which contributed to a comprehensive knowledge base. The teachers were exceptionally skillful and knowledgeable, demonstrating a genuine passion for yoga and teaching. And what made this experience particularly special was the supportive and nurturing atmosphere created by both teachers and classmates. Our group fostered a sense of community, encouragement, and shared purpose, which made the learning process enjoyable and inspiring. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to deepen their yoga practice and embark on a meaningful teaching and/or personal growth path.

I learnt a lot in 100 hrs Pranayama and Meditation course. From the basic knowledge of pranayama history to types of Pranayama, its benefits and contraindications. I understood the technical aspect of Meditation and breathing exercises. All the teachers had utmost clarity of their relevant subject. The best part is even the online students are given equal importance like the in person students in Hongkong. Thanks to all the teachers at Andiappan and International Yoga academy Hongkong for the support I received during the course.

First of all, I would like to express my sincere thanks to every experienced Masters in this course including Master Vishu, Master Raja, Master Hazel, and of course our Principal Master Yogananth. The course is short but very practical and interesting, so I have not missed any one class. The part of the human body is difficult to understand but it let me know more about our body structure. Yoga Therapy for different common pain symptoms are practical and it really benefit to my family and friends in need. I hope to complete the course after being able to participate in AYC and let more people enjoy the benefits of Yoga.

My experience in the 100-hour yoga inversion course has been both structured and transformative, especially through its focus on step-by-step alignment, progressive improvement, and peer support. Initially, inversions appeared intimidating, but the course emphasized breaking each posture into clear, manageable stages. Learning precise alignment—such as shoulder stacking, core engagement, and spinal positioning—helped me practice safely and with greater awareness. The step-by-step approach allowed me to build a strong foundation before advancing into more complex inversions. For example, preparatory drills and wall-supported practices gradually improved my strength, balance, and confidence. This progressive method not only reduced the risk of injury but also reinforced the importance of patience and consistency in skill development. Over time, I observed measurable improvements in my stability, endurance, and body control. Equally important was the role of peer support throughout the course. Practicing alongside fellow students created a collaborative learning environment where feedback, encouragement, and shared challenges enhanced motivation. Observing others’ techniques and progress provided new insights, while group discussions deepened my understanding of alignment principles and teaching strategies. I also became more mindful of how alignment cues and gradual progression influence both performance and safety. Overall, this experience has refined my technical skills, strengthened my confidence, and reinforced the value of supportive learning in mastering complex yoga practices.

I recently completed the 100-hour kids' yoga teacher training course at Anahata Yoga, and I can't express how enlightening and inspiring it was! Master Yogananth and Master Dyana shared so much knowledge and wisdom throughout the course. I learned a great deal about teaching yoga to children and how to create a positive and nurturing environment. This training has truly transformed my approach to yoga and teaching. I highly recommend this course to anyone interested in kids' yoga. Namaste!

It was a rewarding journey to learn the basics of yoga ranging from the history to anatomy and details of the asanas practiced in group classes. It was not just a course of learning how to teach others, but to understand myself and be mindful.

A 200-hour teacher training course can only scratch the surface of what Yoga has to offer. It brought like-minded people together to share a collective learning experience, which with no doubt developed appreciation for Yoga. For many of us, it was invaluable stimulation and inspiration for further learning and self-discovery.

In this 3-month teacher training course, I have gained a deeper understanding in Yoga from philosophy and theory to pranayama and asanas The most impressive thing about the course, I think, is learning the asanas from preparation to final pose very clear, detailed and useful explanation. In my opinion, asanas the kriyas class was also a good and unforgettable experience. Glad to have experienced and knowledgeable Master Yogananth and Master Vishnu as my teachers.

This yoga teacher training program has given me a holistic view of yoga and brought me to a whole new stage of yoga practice by introducing the less commonly known element within yoga such as, different yoga school of thoughts, mudra, bandha, pranayama and kriyas. After attending the course I realized that my previous focus of practice of yoga only limited to yogasana and hence it was only a mere exercise but not yoga, With the knowledge of yoga l am now able to design my own asana sequence and also brought the asana practice to the next level by incorporating other elements such as mantra and pranayama. Thanks Anahata for providing a teacher training course in such a professional manner, with all the teachers being very experienced and have been dedicating their whole life into voga. It was very beneficial having the chance to receive training from these masters, who were extremely knowledgeable, dedicated and patient.

Over this past two months, I've gained a lot from this course not only about yoga knowledges but also friendships and my appetites. Joking aside , it is a wonderful course for those who want to improve your health not only physical health but also mental well-being as well. I've noticed that my mind is more connected with my body than before and also I see my little progress during this course . Because of this course doing yoga becomes my daily routin now hopefully I have the perseverance. Last but not the least all the teachers here are very nice and knowledgable. I'm truly grateful for everything I experienced in this course. Namaste

As someone relatively new to yoga, I found this course incredibly insightful for deepening my understanding of yogic practice. The instructors demonstrated exceptional professionalism and expertise, making complex concepts accessible even to beginners. The Andiappan Yoga Community NGO observation classes were particularly valuable—observing diverse teaching styles and student interactions added immense value to my personal practice. However, scheduling these sessions outside regular studio hours proved challenging. Extending the observation period by one month (to align with assignment deadlines) would be highly beneficial. Despite this minor logistical hurdle, I highly recommend this studio and its master teachers. Their authentic approach to yoga education is truly commendable.

It has been an enriching experience fueled by the knowledge and passion of each Master. This is truly a yoga school, not simply a yoga studio. I felt seen and heard and looked after by the masters. I feel I am learning from the source of yogic culture. A very unique and genuine experience, thank you

I had an amazing experience in the Yoga Teacher Training program at Anahata. The course was incredibly well-structured, and the instructors are all highly professional and dedicated yoga teachers. Their passion for the practice is evident, and their extensive knowledge made the learning journey both enriching and enjoyable. The support from the admin and reception staff was exceptional. They were always available to assist with any inquiries and ensured that everything ran smoothly throughout the course. I truly appreciate their efforts in creating a welcoming and supportive environment. Overall, I highly recommend the Yoga Teacher Training at Anahata for anyone looking to deepen their practice and become a certified yoga instructor.

I thoroughly enjoyed the course, which featured a comprehensive curriculum covering a wide range of topics essential for a deep understanding of yoga. It provided a balanced exploration of both practical and theoretical aspects. The instructors were not only warm and approachable but also brought a wealth of experience and professionalism to the program. Their guidance and mentorship were invaluable, equipping me with the knowledge and encouragement needed to deepen my yoga practice. Additionally, the strong sense of community among participants, where we supported one another by sharing insights, challenges, and personal growth stories, made the experience even more memorable.

This 200hrs YTT course was transformative. The comprehensive curriculum, practical experience, and supportive community enhanced my confidence and knowledge. There were some challenges: 1. The contents of the manual was extensive, some topics such as anatomy/chakras were new to me as a beginner, making it hard to follow. Some relevant YouTube/ videos could be recommended, so we can prep or enforce our learning. 2. For asanas, it would be great if the poses could be taught according to the Yoga Class Sequence. 3. I wish "teaching tactics" can be introduced earlie, including verbal cueing and tactile cueing. Despite these issues, i believes that the instructors were so knowledgeable and inspiring. Especially Master Yogananth, he is super nice, love to share his yoga teaching experiences and knowledges with us. His asana demostration is awesome, beyond human action! Master Mahesh is really helpful and encouraging, always being patient with us. Master Raja is super funny, I wouldn't feel sleepy during his class. I like Master Keshav's big smile, always being friendly and remember All of our names! Master Vishnu, i think he got a "magic hands"! He actually inspired me to enroll Yoga Therapy 300hrs. Last but not least, Master Shreya, I enjoyed her class with details and clear information. The Andiappan classes and group classes really kept me moving and allowed me to explore different aspects of yoga. I felt lucky that I had all the lovely classmates, so willing to share their knowledge with me. Our class was always full of laughs and energy! Lastly, I thank myself for finding Anahata Yoga. This course fostered personal growth, both physically and mentally, and deepened my connection to yoga. Thank you for this incredible experience! p.s. I would like to take this opportunity to show my gratitude to the beautiful people of Anahata Yoga Whatsapp team and admin team, they shown me caring when I was sick. Truly appreciated that! BEST WISHES TO YOU ALL.

This yoga teacher training course significantly enhanced my understanding of the anatomical aspects of each asana, allowing me to self-adjust for better alignment. The management and teachers truly understand the students' needs and goals, providing expert guidance. The yoga I learned in other studios felt robotic and fitness-focused, but here it offers a holistic approach to wellness. Additionally, the pranayama techniques I've learned have greatly benefited both my practice and daily life. Highly recommend!

I’m so grateful for the wonderful learning experience I've had in the teacher training course! The classes have been absolutely fantastic, and the instructors are incredibly helpful and supportive. Their guidance has truly made a difference in my understanding of yoga. As I progress, I’ve come to realize that I need more practice to prepare fully for my course. I’m excited to dive deeper and refine my skills. Overall, this journey has been inspiring, and I can’t wait to continue growing and learning at anahata yoga.

I really enjoyed the Kids Yoga Teacher Training. Master Yogananth and Master Dyana are both very professional, knowledgeable and friendly teachers. They created a positive and effective learning environment using practical and interactive teaching techniques. I loved having the students' children participate in the classes and having the opportunity to observe them practice. It was a pleasure learning from Master Mahesh who showed his creative and playful teaching style.

I am extremely happy about this course and grateful towards the teachers. It was well detailed and all the topics were explained with clarity. I really appreciate that we were lead to also practice on our team mates, it helped a lot understanding the asanas and adjustments. I also valued our class assessments as it gave us the opportunity to be in situation and we had the chance to receive Master Vishnu's and Master Raja's feedbacks. Everything was enjoyable, our teachers, the schedule, the topics, our class group, our working sessions, the studio. I am still doing the Andiappan classes and teaching AYC class on Saturdays Pier 10 and all of those are also a great opportunity for us to keep learning through incredible teachers and be in situation of teaching. I did my 200 hours training in Anahata in 2015 and I hope I will be able to come for future trainings as I really value Anahata in my yoga teacher journey.

Yoga Therapy and Ayurveda course at Anahata was very unique experience. This course gives in-depth information of every topic related to human anatomy & how Ayurveda & Yoga can work together to improve overall health & wellbeing. It was very interesting to learn the ways we can help different patients with different conditions by providing them with a 3 month plan. The course was insightful and I think there’s a lot more which can be learnt it being a vast subject. Our teachers Master Vishnu, Master Raja & Master Shreya have immense knowledge of the subject. Their way of teaching has made this course a valuable learning experience for me. Thank you so much Anahata Yoga for providing this opportunity to improve our knowledge.

It was a great learning experience for me. During the course, I learnt a lot about yoga therapeutic techniques like asanas, pranayama techniques, meditations, cleansing methods, and Ayurveda knowledges including Chakras, Marma points, herbs and nutritions etc. And I got to know great yoga masters and adorable classmates. In the time of online teaching and AI learning becoming more popular, the face-to-face (on site) lectures of this course were extremely valuable. The teachers were knowledgeable and responsible. I am very grateful to the teachers for sharing their knowledge and being nice and patient with us. I am also grateful to the stuffs for their help and kindness. The attendants were all friendly and inspiring to study with. The learning and practicing of yoga and Ayurveda will be continued for sure. Namaste!

I am so grateful for this course, as it has provided a solid foundation for deepening my personal yoga practice. I've always enjoyed yoga, and my journey has been beautifully influenced by my upbringing as a Baptist Christian, along with later explorations into Buddhist dharma, Guru teachings, and the Upanishads. My background in Zen and Shaolin Kung Fu has also shaped my approach. While I initially felt frustrated about how to blend commercial and traditional yoga teachings into a sustainable business, this course has offered a wealth of valuable material. Each instructor is incredibly experienced and brings unique insights, making the learning process enriching and inspiring. I now feel more equipped to navigate my yoga journey and turn my passion into a fulfilling career!
