It was a wonderful experience learning from different masters of Andiappan yoga centre. The practical classes were very helpful , along with the theory classes that was fun and engaging. I just wished there was more time given to attend all the 30 practicals , as I have been travelling the entire July and wasn't able to focus . Apart from that the online classes were very effective and I am very proud to do my Prenatal TTC at Andiappan yoga .

Thank you for providing this amazing opportunity to delve into the world of prenatal yoga. A heartfelt appreciation to all the Masters who imparted knowledge starting from the fundamentals. Exploring the variances between prenatal classes in India and other nations online has been enlightening, offering insights into global perspectives. Gratitude once again to all the MASTERS for their guidance and expertise.

The cumulative knowledge, experience and wisdom of Masters Vishnu Kumar, Dheeraj Jhangra, Anuja Chouwdry and Hazel was like a guiding beacon of light through the topic of prenatal yoga. They covered the changes in the body caused by pregnancy according to a woman's age, physical predisposition and various hormonal conditions. The theoretical part was very informative and offered a scientific insight into the process of adolescence, conception, hormonal changes and factors that can affect fertility and pregnancy. Master Vishnu Kumar also explained doshas and the Ayurvedic principles behind pregnancy. It was fascinating to learn about the chakras and doshas, the balance and harmonious functions that help the body and mind be free from disease, imbalance and discomfort. I enjoyed the Yoga Nidra week by Master Dheeraj Jhangra. Master Anuja and Master Hazel gave detailed demonstrations and anatomy explanations for all the asanas listed for prenatal yoga with in-depth analysis of every asana, modifications and contraindications for every asana. I also learnt what not to teach and what to avoid for certain trimesters and the anatomical reasoning behind this. I will carry all the teachings I have read from my lectures, as well as group 1-hour classes and Andiappan yoga 2-hour classes, into all my classes as a teacher.

It was an outstanding experience... the faculty really do their best to bring out the best in us, so I really appreciate their efforts to help us to accomplish our goals. The learning experience was not only informative, but trained us to become more confident in teaching.

I have done both 200 hrs of Intensive Hatha yoga teacher training program and 100 Hrs Kids yoga Teacher training courses with Asana Andiappan school due to which I was confident enough to take up the Prenatal yoga teacher training course here. As always, the course is very well planned and structured. Many topics like – Basics of pregnancy, prenatal and postpartum complications, yoga Nidra and meditation, we also had interaction with a doctor who explained and provided explanation for different case studies. On the final day of practical assessment, the master provided us genuine feedback on how to modify the practice so that it would be easy for the pregnant women to follow. In a couple of classes, there were some audio related issues. Master Dhiraj’s class – audio quality was very nice. The overall experience was so good. Looking forward to take up more classes in future. Thanks to all the masters for all wonderful sessions!

Thank you Anahata Yoga teacher team, all Masters that teach the training are knowledgeable, well-experienced and professional. This course makes me deepen my knowledge about pregnancy. Let me realize the importance of yoga practice for women during pregnancy, to ensure the safety and stability between mother and baby. Give mothers the ability to happily embrace physical and mental changes during pregnancy. Thank you to all the masters of Anahata Yoga for sharing their knowledge and wisdom.

The course has a good mix between theory and practical elements. I do wish there were more practical elements in practice than theory. Some classes were spent hours explaining medical terms which could be beneficial to those who wish to provide prenatal courses to women with predisposed medical condition. For regular practice, I believe standard knowledge in overall muscular structure would suffice. All the Instructors were helpful and very attentive! I really enjoyed in-person interaction with the instructors in the studio.

I had a very positive learning experience in this course. I learned a different style and found it to be extremely useful, especially the practical sessions and the Yoga Nidra sessions. It was very good to attend extra sessions of compulsory group classes and Andiappan classes. In the group classes, I experienced a variety of subjects. Namaste

After joined prenatal YTT in IYA, my yoga journey is completely changed and gave different perspective in my own practice. Learned under the highly knowledgeable and experienced yoga masters gave wonderful learning experience. Even though the entire course is online, classes were so lively and all our doubts were clearly explained in class itself. Posture classes explained by Master Vishnu and Meditation classes explained by Master Dhiraj were highly informative and enjoyed their session. Two hour andiappan yoga sessions were really helpful. My kind suggestion is that consider EST time zone while planning future YTT courses and yoga sessions too.

It was a positive experience overall. The teachers are knowledgeable and well rounded in their topics. However, I prefer that the course is only for online students or onsite students. I would love to extend my regards to Miss Priyanka -One of the teachers She was quite interactive and gave the information in a very open and nice way - She answered all our questions promptly and even provided a space to ask questions

One of the good insights on how to make adaptations when we teach yoga for pregnant women, the stages of pregnancy, complications and how to deal with them the yogic way. Recommended course for yoga teachers who have a basic foundation in yoga and also experienced professionals in the field. Great learning experience, Great teachers! Thank you! Best Regards - Mrs Sowmya Gopal.

I really enjoyed learning yoga at this Institute. Gathered lots and lots of information both in theory as well as in practical. I think if the course includes more case studies like women with pregnancy complications and undergone pregnancy yoga then it will be added advantage to students. Thank you

I am so grateful to all the teachers of this Prenatal Yoga teacher training program for providing me with good knowledge and understanding about Prenatal Yoga. I have learned new techniques and methods to carefully teach pregnant women. Now I feel confident enough to handle a prenatal class. Thank you very much.

The learning experience was great. Overall the course has given me great experience and knowledge in prenatal Yoga. Thank you for everything.

The course is beautifully designed with well-experienced and knowledgeable teachers/ trainers. The theory and practical classes are conducted in a step-wise process and are clear to understanding even for a beginner. Along with that, Andiappan Yoga Online Classes and Group Classes give us good insight on practicing various types of yoga. Completed satisfied with the entire course. Thank you!

Overall experience was great!!! This course has given me a better understanding of the female body and answered all the questions I had in my mind, really enjoyed the training and the teachers are excellent in what they are doing. I take this time to thank Gowri mam, Priyanka mam, Dhiraj sir, and Andiappan yoga school for the amazing knowledge in this pre and postnatal training. Also, I should mention the techniques which they are using in online practice were excellent, very easy to understand, powerful, and highly safe. Happy that I did this course through Andiappan yoga and the international yoga academy. Thank you

I am very grateful to all the faculty members of Andiappan Yoga Institute for the quality education provided to us in the Prenatal Yoga Teachers Course. The course documents, the videos, the classes, the anatomical part of the understanding of postures along with the correct breathing pattern and warm-ups were really enlightening. I'm sure that I have the confidence and knowledge to help pregnant women stay fit and healthy, mentally, physically, and spiritually during the most important and auspicious time of their lives through yoga. Thank you so much !! Harpreet Kaur Chandhok

I am happy that I chose to do 100 hrs pre & post-natal yoga with International Yoga Academy, Hong Kong. It was a very enriching experience. The faculties are very knowledgeable and the classes are conducted with lots of enthusiasm to share their knowledge. The Andiappan yoga classes and the group classes made me fitter and healthier. Those classes made me understand teaching techniques. I want to thank Master Vishnu and Master Dheeraj for being such wonderful teachers.

The learning experience was wonderful and eye-opening.

The prenatal yoga teacher class has deepened my knowledge about pregnancy, including the hormones change and pregnancy in different stages. More importantly, I gain more insight of what yoga poses should be emphasized and avoided to ease the common symptoms during pregnancy. I feel more confident to teach students especially for pregnant students now. Namaste!

I love this course and I enjoyed learning from each and every teacher. I love how Master Vishnu relate the previous knowledge (including anatomy and vayus) to the conditions of pregnancy at the beginning of the course. I am also inspired by the meditation practice guided by Master Dhiraj as the practice was super mind-healing. And of course, it is very rewarding to join this program as I learnt so much for modifying the poses to suit pregnant women's need with the clear explanation and demonstration by Master Yogananth. As for the course design, due to the closure of the studio, our teaching assessment was moved to one week before the scheduled date. The time for preparation is sufficient but it would be better if there's better synchronization between the examiner's expectations and the requirements stated in the email. Also, I understand there might be fewer pregnant women coming to the studio for prenatal classes possibly due to Covid-19. But this seems to be a bit irrelevant to use 30 hours out of our 100-hour training to do regular group classes. Of course the group classes in the studio are all very nice and I enjoyed them very much. However, it will be even better if the studio still opens the prenatal yoga classes for we the RPYT students to register and experience how a 60-hour prenatal class would actually carry out (as at least 4 of them are pregnant and we can observe how the master would manage their conditions).

I am an Osteopath, specialising in Women's Health and Paediatrics - incorporating new skills to help expectant mothers in their pregnancy journey is initially my goal. I remember when I arrived to HK, 2 years ago, going to a yoga class and meeting a few people who had been practicing yoga for years and how it is implemented in their every day life routine - I was quite surprised of how many yoga studios was available in HK and how the general population praise it. I practiced yoga in the past and always enjoyed, not the class itself, but how it made me feel mentally and physically immediately after the class. I always use to drag myself to yoga classes at first, I didn't really enjoy it, I use to find it pretty boring - until I actually develop a sense of wholesomeness and strength during the practice. From there on learning about yoga and how to practice yoga was an objective. My learning experience of this course - I would describe it as efficient and productive. I am very satisfied with the teaching and amazing skills in yoga of the masters that provided the course. I would have liked to spend more time practicing sequences for prenatal yoga during the evening sessions and experience feedback. I highly enjoyed going through and learning about Yoga Nidra - practicing and understanding. I personally think that practice makes the difference in becoming a good yoga teacher. Additionally, the course gave me a good recapitulative picture of what happens and the challenges expectant mother faces during their pregnancy - as I am a healthcare practitioner I have studied pregnancy for some time now, but I enjoyed going through things again. The content of the workbook is very thorough and complete. Overall, I am very satisfied to have done this course and I can't wait to improve my skills in yoga and translate it to women to help and support them through, hopefully, a healthy and happy pregnancy.

The online prenatal yoga teacher training course has far exceeded my expectations. It covers all the topics I was willing to learn and the fact of different teachers teaching their field of expertise gives us an in depth understanding of the pre, during and post pregnancy phases. I feel confident that once I finish this course I will be able to guide my students in prenatal yoga and apply the yoga techniques learnt from the course in my classes. I am grateful to this course for having widened my horizon in the field of yoga and for the personal growth and development that has taken place within me

In Prenatal YTT various prenatal yoga asanas where explained and taught clearly with sufficient modifications to suit each trimester. Andiappan yoga sessions were extremely helpful,the masters clearly taught the concept, sequence and preparatory warmups. Also sufficient modification and use of props for each pose was explained very well.This teacher training has boosted my confidence as a yoga instructor. Overall the course was good and well structured.

Loved the course. Gained great knowledge in meditating techniques, how to sequence a class and so much confidence. Thank you so much!
