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.

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.

I now understand asana practice is just a tip of the iceberg. The 200HRS Yoga Teacher Training Course provided me a full picture of yoga, from yoga history, anatomy and pranayama to kriyas, meditation and asana practice. I enjoyed every part of the course. The theory part is inspiring. It enriches my yoga knowledge and makes me become more serious about my yoga practice. As we all know, Yoga is far more than physical exercise; it is lifestyle, a mind and body practice. Thanks master Vishnu for all the teaching and sharing, he is such a passionate teacher. The asana part taught by master Yogananth was amazing. Each asana was clearly explained, from the warm up, steps, alignment, variations to counter poses. He has sharp eyes that he can tell your strength and limitation which you dont know. He is very knowledgeable. He can answer all my doubts I have come across in my practice. Last but not least, Thanks master Mahesh for all the encouragement and adjustments during my practice. You always surprised me by letting me know my ability is beyond my imagination. Learning will continue, although the course has come to the end. I am looking forward to seeing my personal growth on and out of the mat.

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.

My experience of yoga was always good but never enough. While being introduced to the “Anahata way” something happened and my practice has never been the same again. I attended the teacher training in Anahata to increase my knowledge and to go deeper into my practice. I always been convinced that yoga is a way have to help in my case, with chronic back pains and But thats not the only reason why stayed and Im now “in”. Yoga is more yoga is essential. Now, I can say with certainty that want Yoga to be part of my life in a wider way and to help others by bringing them healing opportunities, as a volunteer in the community then later, as a teacher around because nothing is worth a smile of true well being and “whether young, old or too old sick or lean, one who discards laziness, gets success if he practices Yoga.”Hatha Yoga Pradipika-166 I want to thank all the masters, teachers and co-workers for the great times spent together. Your knowledge expanded mine and I am highly grateful for it all

The course deepened my understanding and practice of yoga, including principles of yoga, pranayama (breathing skills), and also the framework of learning and teaching asanas. It enhanced my ability to follow class flows, and have greater confidence in practice, feel connecting with my body and staying present. Andiappan classes are unique and exploratory. I knew more warm-up techniques that prepare for final poses, as well as teaching methods for different body parts. The classes also highlight the proper use of props, and practice that can help and train the muscles needed. Hands-on adjustments provided by masters are also very helpful. Practicing with the passionate masters and my classmates was enjoyable on different themes and styles. Master also energetic and also bring so much energy to us. I feel it really helps to deepen my self practice and encourages me to keep explore on yoga.

My learning experience in this course has been transformative. Practicing yoga under the guidance of such devoted Masters has been a true blessing! I deeply value the way this studio upholds a balance of discipline and practicality, as well as the harmony between encouraging me to explore my limits and giving me the space to grow at my own pace. Admittedly, I wasn’t comfortable with all the different teaching styles at the beginning. However, as I got to know the Masters better, I learned to appreciate each of their unique strengths. This process made me notice my own preferences and aversions—which isn’t how I want my practice to be. I would like to be able to practice yoga in any condition and with any Master. As a result, I am now more open-minded and non-judgmental; I have learned to set aside my personal likes and dislikes, and to be agile and receptive in connecting with each Master. I came here with the intention of truly incorporating yoga into my life—not just as an exercise, but as a practice rooted in its authentic foundations. I am grateful to be on this path. Yoga has reflected and helped me discover more about myself—my strengths, my limiting beliefs, and the blockages that have held me back. It is truly a delight to experience this shift in mindset and to overcome these hindrances.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
