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.

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.

I thoroughly enjoyed the Yoga Teacher Training Course offered by Anahata Yoga. The course was well-structured, in that it allowed me to learn a variety of topics and provided me with an enhanced and deeper understanding of yoga and the practice itself. I enjoyed the theory and practical aspects of the course, and found that the range of skills and information that we were taught gave me a better understanding of my very own practice, and how I can help others move through their practice in the future. I thank Master Yogananth, Vishnu, Yogesh and Anurag in their teachings, patience and time.

The course curriculum is good and teachers' s demonstration and sharing experience are very detailed and useful for own practice and for preparation to be a teacher. Master Yogananth and Master Dhiraj let each of us teach in class is a very good experience and sharing. I really appreciate their enthusiasm and enjoy the whole course very m

I thoroughly enjoyed the yoga therapy and Ayurveda teacher training course and now feel that I have a clear understanding of how Ayurveda and yoga therapy can naturally help to prevent and to heal the body from sickness and disease. It was excellent having different teachers for each module, since each teacher brought new insight, personal stories based off of their own experience, as well as new perspectives and styles of teaching. It was an honor to have Master HS Arun teach yoga therapy using props and to have the Ayurveda doctor visit from India. What a unique experience to learn how to give yoga massages, understand how to mix oils according to the Doshas, and how to use something as simple as a chair to go deeper into the pose and be able to stay for much longer! I also really enjoyed the morning we all gathered at 7am with Master Yogananth to perform the Kriyas. Although the theory and personal stories are useful to learn, it was most helpful for me when we had hands-on experiences, such as practicing the poses (or teaching it in groups with other students), performing the Kriyas, having the taste test and applying it to the Doshas, giving and receiving the oil massage, Shiro Dhara, or pulse reading. It is these moments in our training that I will remember the most. I would recommend more practicals and hands-on experiences so students can feel confident to try the techniques on future students of theirs when they begin teaching. Overall, the training met and exceeded my expectations and I appreciate the effort the Master teachers put forth for the training. I have gained so much knowledge and experience from it all. Many thanks!
