For the TT course, I found it very fruitful in deepening the inner depth knowledge of yoga. It is not only the asana I had learnt for not hurting myself by doing postures right, but the spirit and philosophy behind and being explained clearly into details of anatomy, mind and soul. Thanks sincerely here for all Masters who had been teaching patiently and intellectually. Bravo!

I signed up this course to deepen my own practice and to develop my body and mind prior to leaving Hong Kong. Now I am so pleased that I decided to take my YTT with Anahata Yoga in this time. Thank you so much for one of the best experiences ever. I know “life changing” can be used often, but I really feel it has been for me now. I can honestly say I learned a lot there, and enjoyed the time I spent during the training, group lessons and “Andiappan Yoga” practices. I would highly recommend this course to friends and I am even considering returning in a few years for the advanced teacher training. Towards the second week and into the third week, I really started feeling wonderful, joyful and being positive on practicing in any teachers group lessons and “Andiappan Yoga” classes. Learning yoga philosophy was also a great experience for me. It brought me a change with a deeper understanding of yoga and life itself. All teachers will be part of me forever. Master Yogananth with his great guidance on asana practice, Master Vishnu with his amazing knowledge and enthusiasm on teaching and healing people, Master Anurag, incredible yoga teacher with an incredible voice, soul and energy. Beside above three main teachers, all instructors in Anahata Yoga are so kind and skillful on teaching. I cannot express in writing how grateful I am to have had the opportunity to learn from those teachers on this course. And hopefully, Andiappan workshops or any training courses will be held in Osaka region, Japan in not so far future. With heartfelt thanks to all who were part of this journey.

I really enjoyed my teachers as well as classmates during my Yoga studies. The teachers were very good at planning, and taking it step by step for me to understand everything about Yoga with 6 sense of humor and seriousness. I felt we had a great group on our practices to move forward in our knowledge. I created a keen interest for me to continue my studies in November and January to I am more advanced Yoga together with, some of my classmates. Looking seeing you all in November.

The Anahata 200-hours Yoga Teacher Training Certificate Course has deepened my understanding of yoga. The yoga masters who teach the course are impressive with their commitment to a yogic lifestyle and their vast knowledge. Throughout the teaching, the yoga masters shared how yoga can help with different physical ailments and disease. I had already learnt about the ‘energy’ flow of Chakras and the importance of diet in yoga but this was my first introduction into learning Yoga through Yoga anatomy and developing an understanding of how asanas and pranayama work with the muscles, bones and joints. I began to understand poses in terms of strengthening and stretching muscles, working with the body and understanding the differences in lateral stretches, lengthening, twisting and rotations, for example. I learnt the importance of sequencing asanas to work with the body and with the movement of air. I have always preferred the active meditation and flow of breathe, I find in the sequence of asanas. Yet, during this course I have understood the fundamental role of pranayama, mudra, bandha and kriya in ones practice. I also have a renewed sense for mediation. I found the assignments not only a great opportunity to reflect on what I had indeed learnt from the course but also to continue to deepen my understanding.

The course has taught me a lot. Not only on the theory but how to apply the principles of yoga in daily life. I have also learned the reasons behind the poses and the sequences, how to think and analysis for each pose based on the anatomy and the type of the pose, how can it combined with the warm-up exercise and the neutralizing pose. Last but not least, how it gave me the opportunity to understand more deeply into yoga.

I love the course. I have learnt so much about yoga from this course. It first cleared all the wrong ideas I had about yoga, and it also instilled in me what yoga really is. Teachers are great with many years of experience. They are very passionate about all aspects of yoga, such as Mudra, Bandha, Asana, Meditation and Pranayama. They always tried their best to help or give you options when you cant approach an asana. Besides, all the teachers know their subject thoroughly so they will provide you with answers to all your questions. Instructions are given clearly, so that even beginners like me feel confident that I can to do a more advanced asana or become good at yoga eventually. Also, all the admin staff is very friendly and easy-going and always ready to help when you need them. After the course, students are also given chances to work with different charity groups to put what we have learnt into practice.

I  enjoyed the learning of 200YTT. The course content was very comprehensive and well-rounded. It gives me understanding of all the foundational information of teaching yoga. Instructors were all knowledgeable and experienced. I can feel their enthusiastic to yoga. Yoga Theory was very informative and useful.

In the first session, I was enlightened by Master Yogananth when he was explaining what yoga is. At that moment, I suddenly realized that I was only practicing asanas in the past without knowing the real meaning of yoga. I felt so insufficient and ignorant. However, instead of bewildered, I was inquisitive in further understanding yoga. After attending Master Anurags module on Introduction on Yoga Theory, I then have much clearer concept on philosophy of yoga, which provided me the foundation in understanding the profound orthodox of yoga. The meaning and concepts of “The eight limbs of yoga”, the ways to clear my soul with Yama and Niyama, the ways to achieve harmony of yin and yang inside the body through practicing asanas, kriyas and pranayamas, and the means to achieve Dharana, Dhyana and Samadhi all these were brand new horizon for me to explore. I now feel like having something beautiful to pursue throughout my life time, which can lead me to the highest spiritual status. And I hope I can somehow influence the people next to me, simmer down the restless souls and savour the joy of life with them.

The format of the training is very nice since you can find the best way of incorporating yoga into your daily life. You can also choose when to practice, in the mornings, during the days or in the evening. The teachings are varied and covering many topics which gives you a good insight into different perspectives to yoga. It is delivered in a very easy and structured approach which made it easy to understand and it is workable for all levels.

It is amazing, enjoyable and rewarding during my yoga journey and teaching journey. Thanks for the support and kindness.

I am very happy to have participated in your teacher training course. It is a good course that covers so many different aspects of yoga. The teachers are knowledgeable and willing to share. For my part I have learnt a lot both about yoga and myself and whats more this course has brought awareness into what Im doing and how much more theres to cover and discover. With the foundation knowledge that the training has given me I can continue on my path with the instruction given in group classes. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience with us. All the best.

I know I am supposed to talk only about what this Course has meant to me, but to fully explain the impact it had left in me I decided to take you on a little journey into my past which made me choose Yoga as a way of life today. Since 2010 I have been going for the odd Yoga class here and then and I literally mean "here and there" as I travelled and worked in many different cities and interesting places. In 2010, I stayed for a month in the Maldives and meditated with an inspiring individual. He follows and taught me about meditation to Maharishis chants and mantras. It calmed me a lot, but I was still very distracted and restless and mostly sad. 2011 & 2012 is a blurry chaotic period. I should have done more Yoga…and less of everything else. In L.A 2013 I did 2 weeks of daily Kundulini which really woke up something inside of me, I faced a lot of my own "deamons", but I was not necessarily ready for it; I dont think I was ready to let go of the past and become myself, like the child I remember. I used to meditate from a young age and read about the chakras and I remember being in bliss during the state which I called "escape", but at 27 in LA i really wasnt ready to be myself again although Kundulini set me out on the path to recovery. Knowing that I want to follow Yoga more often, I had an introduction to Vinyasa Yoga in London (2013) and felt that it made me very energetic, fresh and creative. I went to class every morning early and then spent the rest of my days in the recording studio. It was a really good combination and kept me out of trouble, as I wanted to feel the freshness Vinyasa brought to me. And I felt focussed. 2014 came with a big bang of brokeness, but this time i didnt lay down. I got up to a road of reconstruction and with it rehabilitation. I let go of everything I had in mind and just became still. I carried with Vinyasa self practise and meditation. I still travelled a lot, almost every month in a different country, but then I suddenly started to grow a longing for stability and familiarity. In 2015 we moved to Hong Kong. I wasnt particularly happy about the move, but I was here. So, instead of staring climbing into that cozy hole of depression I went out and found the one two things that makes me feel better every day. Horse riding and Yoga. Its in this year and regular practise that I realised and learnt a lesson about myself. I have been trying to help everybody else, but forgot about my own happiness. I started healing myself, I started learning about my body, my mind and my soul during my yoga practises. And I decided that I found what I want to do. I found so many answers when I stopped asking questions. I found reason when I stopped acting reckless. And I found myself when I lost everything I had. But mainly I found myself "happy". This is why I did the YTT course because I wanted to understand the basics of the movement that made me feel again. And I wanted to understand how to move others into such peace of mind and a deeper understanding. I have learnt that all these kept secrets and dwelling on the past blocks our energies and causes injuries and illness and I am coming to learn more about self healing and would like to share that with anyone who is willing to experience this journey with me, because it makes me happy to give back. During this program I have learnt the principles and origins of Yoga. I felt the alignments of the postures and experienced what a difference it makes to me, good or bad. And learnt how to turn into only good. I now know that through the vast knowledge of Yoga and self experience I can help others with depression, stress & anxiety, heart conditions, asthma, diabetes, sports injury, hormonal imbalances etc. If not cure, I can help others to manage their conditions and instabilities and make a real difference, if only for a few. Moreover, I have come to know that I want to study further, that I am hungry for the knowledge and experience that I have been offered during this course and practise. Thank you.

Completed 200-hours Yoga Teacher Training Certificate Course 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.

  I had been practice yoga 5 year, I want to learn deeply about yoga, not only about Asana. After the YTT I did learn a lots of information of yoga anatomy, physiology, history, pranayama, Mudra and asana. Which really helpful for me, I had a big improvement during the training. The masters are patient to teach us everything, we able to ask question during class. Student ID : IYATT-2687 Student Name : IYATT-2687 Completed 200-hours Yoga Teacher Training Certificate Course 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. Namaste Student ID : IYATT-2693 Student Name : IYATT-2693 Completed 200-hours Yoga Teacher Training Certificate Course I really enjoyed this teacher training program. It help me to clarify what is exactly yoga and what difference it from normal exercised. This course has exceeded my expectations, every aspect of yoga has been learning and teachers are all professional and dedicated of their job. I have simply learnt that yoga is a philosophy and not only asanas. I am already applying in my one practice all this knowledge and can feel the entire benefits. I am looking forward to using this information and learn more to improve my own self-practice and way of living and to give classes to others.

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.

Student ID : IYATT-2691 Student Name : IYATT-2691 Completed 200-hours Yoga Teacher Training Certificate Course 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. Student ID : IYATT-2726 Student Name : IYATT-2726 Completed 200-hours Yoga Teacher Training Certificate Course 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. Student ID : IYATT-2792 Student Name : IYATT-2792 Completed 200-hours Yoga Teacher Training Certificate Course 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. Student ID : IYATT 2692 Student Name : IYATT 2692 Completed 200-hours Yoga Teacher Training Certificate Course 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. Student ID : IYATT 2720 Student Name : IYATT 2720 Completed 200-hours Yoga Teacher Training Certificate Course It has been the best learning experience of yoga for me. Thanks to Yogananth, Mahesh 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 think the training course is quite good to learn yoga from traditional Indian. I can learn tradition in addition to yoga asanas. But still, many thanks to all masters in the teaching course and it brings a good start on yoga teaching to me. Many thanks.

I had practiced yoga for 3 years, I want to have an improvement in my poses and would like to know more yoga theories and history, so I just get in this course. For the whole course, I like the practical part more as Yogananth is really experienced and patient, he really uses his heart to teach. He had adjusted my poses (in detail) that I never aware I am doing wrong. He is good and I may attend the Advanced Teacher Training next year. Also, because of this training course, I start to join the private classes here and learn from other master: Yoko, Mahesh and Melissa, all of them are kind and give good yoga advices for me. I will keep on learning here.

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.
