Student Feedback

Hear what our past and present students have to say about our Teacher Training Programmes.

I love the course. I have learnt so much about yoga from this course. It first cleared all the wrong ideas I had about yoga, and it also instilled in me what yoga really is. Teachers are great with many years of experience. They are very passionate about all aspects of yoga, such as Mudra, Bandha, Asana, Meditation and Pranayama. They always tried their best to help or give you options when you cant approach an asana. Besides, all the teachers know their subject thoroughly so they will provide you with answers to all your questions. Instructions are given clearly, so that even beginners like me feel confident that I can to do a more advanced asana or become good at yoga eventually. Also, all the admin staff is very friendly and easy-going and always ready to help when you need them. After the course, students are also given chances to work with different charity groups to put what we have learnt into practice.

I  enjoyed the learning of 200YTT. The course content was very comprehensive and well-rounded. It gives me understanding of all the foundational information of teaching yoga. Instructors were all knowledgeable and experienced. I can feel their enthusiastic to yoga. Yoga Theory was very informative and useful.

In the first session, I was enlightened by Master Yogananth when he was explaining what yoga is. At that moment, I suddenly realized that I was only practicing asanas in the past without knowing the real meaning of yoga. I felt so insufficient and ignorant. However, instead of bewildered, I was inquisitive in further understanding yoga. After attending Master Anurags module on Introduction on Yoga Theory, I then have much clearer concept on philosophy of yoga, which provided me the foundation in understanding the profound orthodox of yoga. The meaning and concepts of “The eight limbs of yoga”, the ways to clear my soul with Yama and Niyama, the ways to achieve harmony of yin and yang inside the body through practicing asanas, kriyas and pranayamas, and the means to achieve Dharana, Dhyana and Samadhi all these were brand new horizon for me to explore. I now feel like having something beautiful to pursue throughout my life time, which can lead me to the highest spiritual status. And I hope I can somehow influence the people next to me, simmer down the restless souls and savour the joy of life with them.

The format of the training is very nice since you can find the best way of incorporating yoga into your daily life. You can also choose when to practice, in the mornings, during the days or in the evening. The teachings are varied and covering many topics which gives you a good insight into different perspectives to yoga. It is delivered in a very easy and structured approach which made it easy to understand and it is workable for all levels.

I know I am supposed to talk only about what this Course has meant to me, but to fully explain the impact it had left in me I decided to take you on a little journey into my past which made me choose Yoga as a way of life today. Since 2010 I have been going for the odd Yoga class here and then and I literally mean "here and there" as I travelled and worked in many different cities and interesting places. In 2010, I stayed for a month in the Maldives and meditated with an inspiring individual. He follows and taught me about meditation to Maharishis chants and mantras. It calmed me a lot, but I was still very distracted and restless and mostly sad. 2011 & 2012 is a blurry chaotic period. I should have done more Yoga…and less of everything else. In L.A 2013 I did 2 weeks of daily Kundulini which really woke up something inside of me, I faced a lot of my own "deamons", but I was not necessarily ready for it; I dont think I was ready to let go of the past and become myself, like the child I remember. I used to meditate from a young age and read about the chakras and I remember being in bliss during the state which I called "escape", but at 27 in LA i really wasnt ready to be myself again although Kundulini set me out on the path to recovery. Knowing that I want to follow Yoga more often, I had an introduction to Vinyasa Yoga in London (2013) and felt that it made me very energetic, fresh and creative. I went to class every morning early and then spent the rest of my days in the recording studio. It was a really good combination and kept me out of trouble, as I wanted to feel the freshness Vinyasa brought to me. And I felt focussed. 2014 came with a big bang of brokeness, but this time i didnt lay down. I got up to a road of reconstruction and with it rehabilitation. I let go of everything I had in mind and just became still. I carried with Vinyasa self practise and meditation. I still travelled a lot, almost every month in a different country, but then I suddenly started to grow a longing for stability and familiarity. In 2015 we moved to Hong Kong. I wasnt particularly happy about the move, but I was here. So, instead of staring climbing into that cozy hole of depression I went out and found the one two things that makes me feel better every day. Horse riding and Yoga. Its in this year and regular practise that I realised and learnt a lesson about myself. I have been trying to help everybody else, but forgot about my own happiness. I started healing myself, I started learning about my body, my mind and my soul during my yoga practises. And I decided that I found what I want to do. I found so many answers when I stopped asking questions. I found reason when I stopped acting reckless. And I found myself when I lost everything I had. But mainly I found myself "happy". This is why I did the YTT course because I wanted to understand the basics of the movement that made me feel again. And I wanted to understand how to move others into such peace of mind and a deeper understanding. I have learnt that all these kept secrets and dwelling on the past blocks our energies and causes injuries and illness and I am coming to learn more about self healing and would like to share that with anyone who is willing to experience this journey with me, because it makes me happy to give back. During this program I have learnt the principles and origins of Yoga. I felt the alignments of the postures and experienced what a difference it makes to me, good or bad. And learnt how to turn into only good. I now know that through the vast knowledge of Yoga and self experience I can help others with depression, stress & anxiety, heart conditions, asthma, diabetes, sports injury, hormonal imbalances etc. If not cure, I can help others to manage their conditions and instabilities and make a real difference, if only for a few. Moreover, I have come to know that I want to study further, that I am hungry for the knowledge and experience that I have been offered during this course and practise. Thank you.

I would highly recommended the advance training as a path for all yoga practitioners. I first joined the training hoping to deepen my practice. The training was much more then I expected. Master Yogananths thoughtful guidance pushed every trainee to seek their limits. We tried many advance posture that we all thought we could never achieved. He also shared a lot of his teaching techniques and allowed us to experience yoga through other practitioner by aiding them and working in partner postures. The whole training was fun, rich and inspirational. I was so happy that I feel more connected with myself, my practice and my teaching. The whole training helped me to open a new path in yoga, spiritually and in practice. Truly thanks to Master Yogananth and Master Mahesh for their kind and heartful guidance.

The 300 hours Yoga Therapy Teacher Training course gives me wonderful opportunities to learn theoretical therapy knowledge. Apart from applications of yoga therapy, Im excited to learn the Ayurvedic massages, which I cant learn anywhere else in Hong Kong. Although I, as a beginner yogi, need some efforts to digest all information gained during lectures, Im still fascinated by the knowledgeable teachers Master Vishnu, Yogananth, Anurag and Dr. Lakshmi. Thank you very much for giving a fruitful start on my yoga journey!

I thoroughly enjoyed the Advanced Hatha Yoga Teacher Training Course in Anahata. The classes were very intensive and tough to both our body and mind, yet, was an unique and unforgettable piece in my yoga journey. I learnt a lot about helping each others in yoga, as a partner and also as a support to other, especially when we were pushing ourselves way beyond our limit. We all found ourselves has grown and exceed our perceived limit during this breakthrough pathway. I have learnt new and even more advance postures, how to teach and support the others, but I must not forget the essence of synchronising our body and mind during the journey. What I have learnt and experienced are gift and blessing from the natural, passing to and sharing with the others would be another milestones of our yoga life. Specially I appreciate all the Master teachers put their effort in their teachings, patience and time. I have gained so much knowledge and experience from this teaching training.

I am more than delighted to have chance to attend this advance Level I, II, III. This totally changes my life style & let me know yoga is not just posture. It is more to do with your mind, body & soul altogether. I am happy to say that yoga is part of my daily life now. The Advance Level 1, esp level 2 are real challenging to me. Thank you to the patience of Master Yogananth, he has excellent skill & knowledge to teach us how to overcome our own constraints, to do the asana which I never think that I can manage it, not even dream about it. This advance levels also help us to build up our confidence to pursue further. I am very proud & happy to complete these courses with good guidance from all the masters of Anahata Yoga, they are very professional & super!

I truly treasured the Advanced Hatha Yoga Teacher Training Course. During the course I could feel my body getting stronger and could feel the real reward of practicing and learning with master Yogananth. The way he teaches, his presence and focus makes you want to give your very best even when the asanas are quite challenging. A true teacher! Now moving forward I have a broader idea of my weakness and strengths and feel confident and supported to continue on this journey. Thank you very much Master Yogananth!

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.

Completed 200-hours Yoga Teacher Training Certificate Course In this program, the Asana Module helped me better understand postures as Master Yogananth will go through all the different poses and breaking them down in detail. Apart from learning different postures, I had deeper understanding about anatomy. Anatomy and physiology are important components to learn as a yoga teacher. An understanding of the human body is crucial in proper alignment and in structuring a safe practice. I was also reminded by Master of how completely diverse every single body is and understand my body nature more. I can also learn more techniques to adjust another person in a yoga pose. To me, adjusting others is a challenging responsibility. I am happy that I had chance to practice teaching at the end of the program. I can put what I have learnt into practice by devising my own sequences. I also acknowledged that I had to consider various aspects both before and during teaching. I fully realized that I had a lot to learn and practice to be a good yoga teacher. Moreover, I had gained valuable knowledge in history and origin of yoga as these are important historical or philosophical information not to be confused or misinterpreted by mistake. I am delighted to know that I may have the opportunity to teach those who may not have access to yoga by registering as a volunteer at the Andiappan Yoga Community. Joining this Teacher Training program is one of the best decisions I ever made. I am thankful for Master Yogananth and Master Vishnu for their guidance throughout the program.

I think the training course is quite good to learn yoga from traditional Indian. I can learn tradition in addition to yoga asanas. But still, many thanks to all masters in the teaching course and it brings a good start on yoga teaching to me. Many thanks.

I had practiced yoga for 3 years, I want to have an improvement in my poses and would like to know more yoga theories and history, so I just get in this course. For the whole course, I like the practical part more as Yogananth is really experienced and patient, he really uses his heart to teach. He had adjusted my poses (in detail) that I never aware I am doing wrong. He is good and I may attend the Advanced Teacher Training next year. Also, because of this training course, I start to join the private classes here and learn from other master: Yoko, Mahesh and Melissa, all of them are kind and give good yoga advices for me. I will keep on learning here.
