Though studying this 200-hours Yoga Teacher Training Certificate Course which helped me to learn more philosophy and knowledge of yoga. I’m really enjoyed to take 30 hours of group class sessions to improve my yoga techniques from all professional instructors. Yoga is not only practice posture, but also soul training. I’m really enjoy to listen myself body now. Many thanks for Master Yogananth and Master Vishnu, I enjoyed their practice style. My training don’t stop at the end of the program, I will continue to practice advance training in the future at Anahata Yoga. Thanks all of your teaching and sharing.

I practiced yoga for some times, and finally I decided to learn more and structure the way I was practicing. The course gave me a solid basic knowledge, both for the theory and practice. I know where I need to look for and where I need to research more, and how much I don’t know now, more then ever! Very well done. Nice experience and kept in a very warm and happy atmosphere, with good time for laugh.

This is a great lesson for learning how to become a yoga teacher, even I’m just a beginner of yoga, and I’m the one who not good at Eng, but I still can understand at the class, all the yoga master have very good body language, let me can understand the pose even maybe I can’t hear very understand.

It is my pleasure to practice yoga in Anahata Yoga. All yoga masters are very professional and teach us with their hearts. I learned many techniques to perform the poses better and avoid injury. My strength and flexibility have been improved a lot and I can be more stable holding the poses now. I also learned to control my breathing during the yoga practice. I would like to thank all the masters for teaching me and sharing their yoga experience and all the staff of Anahata Yoga for helping me to finish the course. I will keep learning from the masters and practicing yoga in Anahata Yoga. I hope I can be a good yoga teacher in the future.

It was an amazing experience on Anahata. I am very happy that I chose my 1st teacher training here. I use to think yoga is just warriors, triangles, half moon, standing, splits & so on, but in Anahata I learned some great stretches which transformed my body, into more flexibility. Wish I could continue my practice here but I am carrying along all the sweet memories with me. Thank you to Master Yogananth, Vishnu, Mahesh, Yogesh & Anurag. Last but not the least I genuinely enjoyed & learned something new in Andiappan class.

I had been thinking to take an advance yoga teacher training for ages. I decided to take this training in Anahata Yoga because I know the origin of Yoga is from India, and their masters almost come from India. I could learn, explore its philosophy, theory, significant technique, and also their actual yoga knowledge in this training. Of course, it was every bit as good as I expected. I have improved in basic skills in asana, and also the sense of practicing, I will initially practice it any time once I am available. By this training, I understand about what is pranayama, how to control and practice the breathing and invented their benefit in our daily life. I have learned from this all rounded teacher training and it is not just from this all rounded teacher training and it is not just from the evening tutorial classes, and also group classes and morning Andiappan. Moreover, we have all needed to finish two assignments, which I have further known about yoga history and history of Hatha Yoga. I understand my learning is just new started. This 200 hours teacher training is only for my stepping stone. On the next stage, I have to practice the actual teaching technique through further teaching opportunity, to share my minimal knowledge with other people those are interested.

In the course, I have gained a lot of knowledge on the history, philosophy and different stream of yoga. Our teachers tried their best to help us understand more about the theory and philosophy by telling us some interesting old Indian stories. By applying the theory into the stories, I can understand more about the eight limbs of yoga and some theories which are quite new and difficult to me. Apart from that, I also learned a lot about my body and how it works in different postures in yoga practice by learning different part of the body through understanding the anatomy and physiology of the body. What I love most about the course is the asana part and I think most of my classmates feel the same too. We learned how to do the posture properly and also help to adjust the posture of my partner. By practicing with my partner, I learn more about the strength and weakness by sharing experience with each other and doing the yoga practice together. I also learned how to use props like straps and yoga blocks in our practice. This kind of variations and modifications are useful in making the class more interesting.

I have really enjoyed participating in the course and have learned a great deal about my own and others practice. I particularly enjoyed the practical part of the course, and learned much about the benefits, contradictions, variations and modifications of the asanas. I also enjoyed Yogananth s and Yogeshs light-­hearted approach, which is something that I would like to carry through into my own practice as a teacher. I also enjoyed the fact that Yogananth Is very appreciative about peoples different views and needs of yoga and is realistic about how one could integrate this into their daily life, without it becoming overwhelming for a complete beginner. Vishnu was also clearly very knowledgeable and has given me a great understanding of the anatomy of the body and how I can now use this to aid my practice. Overall, I am happy with my learning and my understanding of the teachings of the course. I look forward to putting my newfound knowledge into practice and developing this further.

It was a great experience to take this TTC program as the course content is well prepared and the instructors are very passionate in teaching sharing their yoga experience in self practice and in teaching aspect which can help me to prepare the future teaching path on yoga i have learnt the techniques on doing yoga postures which I didn’t know before and the most important is that course can let me know the important of each persons anatomy so that we can use a proper way to adust or modify ones postures. Thank you so much for all the master.

I loved the course. It fitted in well with my busy lifestyle and working full time. I feel like I learnt a lot and will continue learning. It has been a great starting point.

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.

Im immensely grateful for having the chance to join Anahatas Advanced Hatha Yoga Teacher Training Level 1 and 2. Under the professional and inspiring guidance of Master Yogananth, whose in depth knowledge, clear explanations and perfect adjustments had not only enabled me to try many intense poses for the first time, but also empowered me to overcome my fear, unleashed my potentials and experienced tangible improvements. During the course, 1.  I learnt a lot about my body anatomy, my strengths and limits and most importantly, on how to work on them. 2.  I gained valuable knowledge on how to approach each challenging pose with specific warm up techniques and attempt different variations, the course manual will always help me in my future self- practices. 3.  I was motivated to “try”, to work hard in order to see progress - I was in fact intrigued to see how my body opened up and strengthened during the “trys”, and rewarded with the joyous satisfaction of a few breakthroughs! I shall always remember Master Yogananths profound advice - that advanced practitioners are not only manifested in their yoga postures, but expressed in their mental quality and mindfulness life style. In fact, the training doesnt stop here, its only the beginning!

Advanced Hatha Yoga TTC with Anahata was a great learning experience for me. I always wanted to do Advance TTC, but was little skeptical with the term Advance, as I was never sure whether I would be able to cope up with the practice. But,  Guru Yogananth made the task simple. He made our body go beyond our perceived limits effortlessly, which made me realise that it is quite possible. The TTC was very friendly, humorous and encouraging. There was a positive energy prevailing throughout the training program. Everyday some kind of miracle was happening with the members. We were able to do things which we thought were beyond  our capabilities. It gave me a lot of confidence, and I also got to know about my own body strengths. By the end of the program ,I was feeling very light, flexible, strong and energetic. The program is very well designed to impart the learning methodically and step wise. Students could actually feel that how our daily practice is preparing us for the advance postures. For me, it brought a wonderful transformation I was always looking for. To me, It is a treasure for lifetime. Thank you Anahata team. I would like to continue my learning with Anahata in future.

The teacher training is truly inspirational to me, not only to my own practice, as well as my personal growth and the way I further express my teaching to the students. With the help of Master Yogananth, I understand my strength, my weakness, my limitations and focus. Highly recommend this teacher training course to all levels of yoga practitioners.

The Advanced Hatha Yoga Teacher Training (AHYTT) was a thorough course about advanced Hatha yoga postures, injury prevention and proper adjustment techniques – knowledge which is essential to a good yoga teacher. It well complemented the 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training also offered by Anahata Yoga. The faculty, Master Yogananth and Master Vijay, were both very thorough during the course, making sure that students give high regard to safety and proper execution of each asana. It was also a great experience to be able to teach advanced postures as it is there where each student would understand the human bodys strength, flexibility and physical limitations.

I thoroughly enjoyed the 200 hour teacher training. The course was comprehensive and well-paced; nothing was hurried or took too long. I particularly liked learning about the philosophy of yoga and pranayama, which I knew very little about. The asana and teaching module was extremely useful in that it has laid down the foundation for further self-improvement and practice. The group work was helpful, although taking turns to teach the class was terrifying at first, once this was overcome I began to enjoy it. Overall this was a wonderful and fulfilling learning experience and I feel that I have a more wholesome picture of what yoga is, beyond the asanas. I am very grateful to have been able to complete this course and learn from teachers who have so much wisdom to share.

I first tried yoga four yeas ago and I fell in love with it. The benefits I reaped from yoga were undeniable and I t complimented the benefits I get from dancing, even from running and cardio. Im professional dancer and a performer, and movement is something I can never imagine my life without. Although I admit that it will be difficult to maintain my flexibility or skills required for dancing, I can see myself doing yoga in the long run… and not just pragmatically Signing up for this Yoga Teacher Training has been a very important and memorable experience for me. The lessons that I have learned from the past three and a half months surpassed my expectations. All the teachers were very knowledgeable in their respective fields. I would especially like to commend Master Anurag for going beyond the basic outline of his module as he was able to deliver points in a very personal approach which struck and inspired me. We are forever students yoga in a life-long experiential journey. I do intend to teach, or rather share, what I have learned from the course as well as from my own realizations and learnings to other people. I realize now that by teaching it, and by passing on the fire to others, it will help fuel my own. Yoga is something I will keep for the rest of my life.

The training course, on the whole, was incredibly informative for the short eleven weeks in which we devoted ourselves to the teachers given to us. The layout of the course was professional , and our time in the classroom was respected. I felt the instructors were properly prepared for each class. I also found the support staff in the office to be incredibly helpful with any questions we had concerning the course, which is more important than many might realize. One of the most important aspects for me was the most of teachers seemed to respect the fact that the students came from a variety of backgrounds, with a vast array of purposed for taking the course. I never felt the instructors were trying to change our belief systems on the whole. While we were asked, on the spot, to reveal why we chose to take the teacher training course, I believe the answers given were probably too simplistic, and that most people in the room has more complex reasons than could be verbalized in a short ten second answer. With the being said, I believe most of the instructors respected us as distinctly different humer beings. In a specific exchange of words, a student mentioned her “journey” in yoga. She mentioned the physical practice, but said her spiritual understanding was the key to making it “work”. The instructor quickly said to her, even if she didnt get to the spiritual understanding , yoga still works! I loved this answer because I know many people who will not try yoga because they feel yoga is a spiritual discipline that conflicts with their own spiritual discipline. I hurt for those people because I have seen yoga heal me in so many ways, yet I remain faithful to my spiritual discipline. The answer given the student in our class, showed great respect for yoga and for the spiritual differences in the room. The answer given revealed the respect of the human being, understanding that yoga has benefits of amazing proportion-both mentally and physically-that should not be guarded or kept for those only wanting ti gravel a particular spiritual journey. My only suggestion would be to increase the amount of practice of asanas in the Asana Module. The first few sessions of this module were a bit slow considering the amount of time we devoted to understanding of theory and anatomy in the first two modules. This is not to suggest adding time to the module, but to use that module for strictly practicing. I think that module could be easily devoted to the ten or twelve main asanas, but treating each session as intense yoga classes. The most practical aspect of my learning experience is the understanding of clearly articulating any posture of breathing exercise (although I feel I should have more training before I endeavor to teach a class). I found this communication difficult to do once given the chance in front of the class, but I realized the importance of communicating every aspect of muscle or breath or movement. I now understand that too many words can be used, and too few words can be used. I learned that power of the communicative word to change a students position without speaking the students name. I believe I should be able to teach yoga to blind person just as easily as to a sighted person, as long as I am using clear communication. I also fell I have a greater understanding of Hatha Yoga as distinct from other types of yoga practice. The kriya session was one that I thought would be least helpful, but I find that I now practice almost all of them several times per week. This was a pleasant surprise. I greatly appreciated learning the health benefits of each an devery asana, mudra, kriya, prananyama, and bandhas. I would liked to have a bit more asana practice during the anatomy module because I feel the practice would have solidified the understanding. Vishnu is such a lovely teacher, and I think this would have been easy for him, as well as enjoyable for the class.

Completing the 200 hours Yoga teaching training was a passion and I have finally made my first move towards to a whole new world. It is not just a 3 months part time study, it is something I will take with me for my entire life. All the teacher were extremely helpful. Impressed by the details, and their amazing background. After this course, I will not only do yoga, but knows 1) physically, what exactly how to do each asana and why doing them for, 2) mentally, it calms me down, helps with the stress of life, and eventually I connected my mind and my body through yoga. Thanks you so much for being in this part of my life, Anahata yoga.

Here I want to give some feedbacks and share my experience about 200 hours Teacher Training Course. For the modules of “Yoga Anatomy Theory” and “Yoga History and Philosophy” are the most difficult for me. its because I have practiced yoga for several years in other yoga centres. My understanding of yoga, its just a kind of physical exercise only. I now know that my understanding is so superficial.      Yoga is a kind mental practicing / behavioral control rather than physical practice.  Be a good yogi or yoga teacher, I have to practice yoga for my mental / physical system, I have to know the function of the body parts, what they do and how they do, as well as the structure of body parts. After I joined the Teacher Training Course in Anahata, I have leant a lot of different knowledge for yoga, such as, its theory of history, physiology, anatomy, asana practices, pranayama, Mudra, Bandha etc….. Be a sitter on the Teacher Training Course, I’m transforming myself everyday! I do appreciate to Masters Yogananth, Vishnu, Anurag and Yogesh that they taught me a lot of knowledge about yoga, its useful for my whole life. Although 200 hours Teacher Training Course has to be finished within 3.5 months, it seems very short, I did spend much time in Anahata and studied everything so hard.  For instance, we sat still on the floor for few hours class so that my whole body was very tired, but masters were teaching us with a lively and funny minded, so I had a lot of great time in the classroom and made new friends in the class. When I finished the course, Anahata gives us voluntary training base of a yoga teacher trial model at the community campaigns, hospitals or charity centres. I appreciate these are good chances for me teaching yoga for what I have learnt, it benefits to everyone involved. Recently, be a volunteer of Anahata Andiappan Community, I’m so proud to join this community and feel peaceful with the charity events. Here, thanks a lot for our some great masters/teachers: Master Yogananth Andiappan Master Vishnu Master Anurag Master Yogesh

I found the Anahata Teacher Training very comprehensive and well-rounded. I liked the structure of the raining in that we were taught not only about asanas, but also about Kriyas, pranayama, chakras, anatomy and meditation. It was a very well-rounded course, which deepened my understanding of yoga, and gave me a very solid foundation to deepen my own practice and take on teaching students. I gained a huge amount of knowledge, and understood the appropriate modifications and variations, contraindications and therapeutic benefits of a number of asanas. The course was very practical, and I liked the fact that we were able to practice Kriyas, which we normally would not be able to do in other courses. The anatomy module was very useful and thorough and gave me a better understanding on how the asanas should be correctly practiced. All of the masters were extremely knowledgeable and approachable to answer any questions. I would highly recommend the course to any on wishing to deepen their own practice, or teach.

I joined the 200-hr Teacher Training course with only 4 months of yoga practice and a mind that is very will to learn. In the beginning, I really just wanted to learn how to do asanas properly; I did not join the course with a goal of becoming a teacher. The training was an in-depth study of the yoga anatomy, the traditional and modern types of yoga, the different yogic concepts, pranayama, and asanas. We experienced an amazing guided yoga nidra (yoga sleep), understood the different breathing techniques, practiced asanas in a very different light (compared with how it is done in other commercial studios), and practiced four different types of kriyas/cleansing techniques (yes, it will chock you to your core but it was a great experience nonetheless). And yes, we experienced creating a sequence of asanas and finally taught a class! Aside from the Yoga Masters being qualified, they are also very humble and encouraging. They would take the time to talk with us and respond to our questions and uncertainties (which for me is normal part of the yoga journey). Of course, it was a great honor to learn from the best yoga masters in town and call Master Yogananth my Guru. The moral support from our Yoga Masters and classmates really made a difference in the way I practiced and learned yoga during the course. Aside from what I learned from the course, I have formed great bonds with classmates who I now consider to be good friends. With this course, I can say that I have acquired two of the most important traits of a Hatha Yogi – humility and self-acceptance. Yoga is not just about bending and twisting your body into different postures – it is more about the way you experience and continue living life that is true to the yogic ideals. It was a unique experience for me and in the course of I training, I realized that I do want to teach yoga and share it with as many people as possible. Namaste.
