Student Feedback

Its a awesome course and i love it , i like all the teachers and all practise in yoga with them, learnt many technique where no other studio can teach me.

this course is amazing and it was exactly what i was looking to learn in the teacher training. All the masters are well-knowledge, friendly and caring. Now that i finished the course i have more understanding about the history and fundamentals of yoga, alignment principals in each asanas, and how to help students go deeper in each asanas safely. i am glad that i have learnt so much during the theory and piratical class. i would recommend anyone to come and take the course.

The course really help to improve my alignment, and helps to kwon more about yoga.

Your feedback and learning experience about the course I enjoy the class in Anahata. During the YTT 200hrs, I have spent 3-4 days yoga practice per week. Yoga has become my daily routine. The course is not only equip me some basic knowledge about Yoga, but also train up my patient and body. In this course, I met lots of amazing master. They always give us a clean and cheerful ideas to achieve the goal. We will know how to do the pose in safe way to avoid injury. In this 3 months, I have tried lots of new yoga pose with lots of modifications and verifications. It’s a good ideas for us to practice yoga in different way at different level. I will strongly recommend to my friend to Anahata for this course. Also, I will keep practice here to enhance my yoga knowledge.

The course was a great experience. Lessons I will take with me throughout my life.

Wonderful course having so much about the pranayama and meditation techniques leading to healthy and peaceful living.

This 200-hr YTT provided a solid foundation in helping me understand the basics of yoga and how yoga has evolved over time. I was particularly drawn to the anatomy module and it helped me better understand my practice specifically in body alignment.

Overall the course is good. We have learnt a lot of different approaches for various pose, which is god for our self practice. The masters spend their best effort in helping us.

I have learned Yoga for three years, in order to improve my knowledge and skill I would like to take an official training course at Anahata Yoga. I learned many new skill and knowledge about Yoga in Anahata Yoga. For example, Anatomy, Asana, Pranayama, Mudra, Bandha, Kriya, Teaching Technique which are very useful for me. I also learn not to compare myself to other people in yoga as we are all unique individuals. Each one of us has her gifts and her challenges. Each has her story. It’s impossible to compare. There is no use, and it doesn’t help. Practicing Yoga regularly is important, muscles and joints become tough and I cannot make the asana that I easily made just a couple of weeks before. Therefore, I have to keep practicing Yoga daily to keep improving.

I would conclude that the YTT is the most meaningful and rewarding experience I had during the summer break. Prior to the teaching training, I have no formal training experience in Yoga. Throughout the two months of learning, I have gained profound changes in the understanding and awareness of the body and mind as well as the philosophy of yoga. The course is a very comprehensive introduction to the teaching of yoga as it consists of various modules that the key elements of yoga. After the 200 YTT, I hope to further enhance my practice and knowledge in Yoga. I realized that “The more you know, the more you don’t know”. In the coming days, I would continue with my self-practice and read more books about yoga. I also hope to join the Anahata Community Group to try teaching yoga and serve the community. I would also consider taking the more advanced course.

Great experience in learning yoga in depth. Practical classes and basic poses were explained in detail.

Thank you for a wonderful learning experience.

This course has been fantastic and I learned so much from the entire experience - it was a pleasure to be part of such a wonderful class and I cannot wait to take the knowledge I learned from this class and apply it to my own practice and to my teaching.

The course is comprehensive and well-designed, covering various aspects of yoga, from anatomy, asanas, lineages, mantra, pranayama, kriyas to bandhas. It is just a right-mix of theory and practice, teaching me what yoga teachers should know and all the important points to pay special attention to. All Masters are very enthusiastic to teach and share their knowledge. Besides just teaching, they are so warm that they really care about students’ well-being and health, both physical and mental. I appreciate their care and vehemence deeply. I feel so profoundly indebted to their teaching and concern. I am truly enlightened and get to know what yoga really is. Yoga, now I understand, is the attitude towards life, and balance. How ignorant I once was, only knowing that yoga was just posture and asana. This understanding is really shallow, and if a yoga teacher really just focuses on asanas, and just keeps pursuing postures, it is somewhat misunderstanding the essence of yoga. I am very much inspired by the Masters. They taught me that yoga is in life, not in the studio. It is how you live as an integral person, with cultivation, love and peace in the heart that counts. Thank you, Masters. I will try to bring yoga to my everyday life. Besides, I get to know my limitations. I once tended to compare myself with the others, envious of what others could do. Now I try not to compare but respect myself. I come to know everyone has limitations, but we just get to accept them. We are what we are. Everyone is unique and got different structures. Just accept them and do what we can. Thank you, Masters, once again for enlightening me. Thank you.

I am so grateful to have joined the 200-hour yoga teacher training at Anahata. It has been a great and wonderful experience for me. The masters here are all very experienced and provide invaluable advice and guidance on our alignments and which postures would best suit our bodies and skills. In these few months, I have found myself progressing gradually from one who does not manage to do a headstand to one who can now do it for some time with some simple variations. I have gained more strength and also flexibility on my back throughout the training after attending the group and Andiappan classes by Masters Yogannath, Mahesh, Vishnu, Guruprit and Aarya. Not only do the practical classes benefit me, I am also very much inspired by the theory classes which lead us to the history and origins of the yoga, the various sutras, mudras, pranayama, etc, enriching us with the life philosophy of yoga. Master Yogannath’s sharing of thoughts that there is no perfect posture but only one which suits an individual’s needs the most and that yogis should try to learn and experience the different modes and styles of teaching by different masters are indeed very impressive. Thanks to the generosity of masters, some of us have the opportunity to do a demonstration of a sequence at the big yoga event IRIS. That was again a very memorable and wonderful experience and I sincerely hope that the Andiappan Yoga Community will grow bigger and more and more people will benefit from understanding and doing yoga in future.
