I learnt about the history of yoga, the meaning of yoga. Also, I learnt a lot of asana which were taught step by step with very clear instructions.

I am so glad that I took this intensive full-time YTT 200 course. Within the three weeks of training, we have learnt so much, from yoga philosophy to practising asanas. All the masters were knowledgeable and inspirational, and the coursemates were supportive too.

I am grateful that I have completed my 200 Hours Yoga Teacher Training at Anahata Yoga. All the masters here are super knowledgeable, always willing to share their experience with us and be supportive whenever we need assistance. Apart from learning different asanas, I also learnt about the yoga history, eight limbs of yoga, meditation, pranayama, kriya, mudras and yogic anatomy. I truly love all the perspectives shared by each master, which enlighten me in different aspects and I consider this as the most valuable thing I have learnt in this course. A big Thank You to all masters for showing me what yoga is and bringing this to my life.

I would say the YTT 200 hours course is great! Time passed so fast! At first, I thought 200 hours would be a very long way, but then, I just couldn't believe it has come to an end so soon. The atmosphere of the class is great, interactions with the masters and classmates made both learning and teaching fun! I also got sufficient chance to practise in front of the whole class before the final assessment, I like the group class as there are a variety of yoga classes I can choose from which are very flexible, and I can focus on the part that I am more interested. If andiappan classes can also offer more time slots, then that would be perfect!

I have searched a lot of yoga teacher training courses from different yoga centres, Anahatayoga got me moving to join, not only there are many courses to choose from, the course is taught by multiple experienced teachers who represent various yoga lineages from India and most of them are highly qualified with Post Graduate, Masters and PhD qualifications in Yogic science. In fact, I made a good decision. I had a really fantastic experience in my yoga journey when I joined this course. Although I'm not good at English and not a young person, all experienced masters have their professionalism and patience to explain really well. Each master also has his characteristics and advantages, they made me open my mind and become more interested in Yoga, and also let me understand more about my own body. Meanwhile, I really enjoyed taking group classes and andiappan classes. Practising with different masters made me learn more and made my body more flexible and capable in just 3 months. Master Mahesh, Raja, Master Yogananth and Dilip, Thank you so much. Namaste.

My heartfelt gratitude and salute to the Anahata Yoga Academy and all the teaching professionals specifically to Master yogananth, Master Raja, Master Mahesh, Master Dilip and Master Vishnu. The teaching techniques from start to end were wonderful and it took me to a different dimension of yoga. Very enthusiastic teaching methods and sequences. Every master has a unique talent, their own energy level, true passion towards teaching and directing students with nice flow starting from warmups, preparation of poses and approaching the pose. Master Raja’s explanation on the alignments of the posture always inspiring and his positive approach in dealing with the alignment is incredible. Master Mahesh is so calm, his flow of approaching a pose is so smooth and helps students to achieve the pose effortlessly. Master Dilip’s anatomy teaching helped a lot to know the importance of understanding the muscles and body parts involved while doing the posture. Overall attending the teacher training course was an excellent experience. Thank you all.

I am obliged to all the teachers at Anahata for being the guide in my Yoga journey: • Master Vishnu for inspiring me to enroll for AYTT and sharing his multi-dimensional knowledge, wisdom and positive energy throughout the course • Master Keshav for being an exemplary yoga teacher whose teachings I found addictive so much so that just listening to his voice was therapeutic, an experience that many other fellow students shared as well • Master Mahesh, Master Raja and Master Kammy for their friendly and well-structured instruction and focus on form and technique • Master Keith, Master Dhiraj and Master Anurag for focusing on the essence of yoga and instilling discipline • Master Anuja, Master Prataya, Master Federica, Master Dilip and Master Carol for their teaching • Master Yogananth for sharing his profound knowledge, wisdom and yogic experience to bring Anahata Yoga Teacher Training to bear and make it a substantial transformation experience within and beyond the studio - I also express my heartfelt thanks to the studio staff at Anahata for running such a smooth operation and taking care of student needs.

After these 3 months of yoga theory learning, l would say that I have found the right yoga class to learn all over again from the basic knowledge in the right way which helped me to deeply self-analysis my own contraindication while reaching the pose, and the YTT class has also provided me with a chance to explore the yoga history theory and human anatomy that all beyond my expectation. I do really enjoy all the group practice classes with all the instructors they always encourage the student to reach the final pose and build up the further pose and modify the pose based on the body limitation. I was suffering the lower back pain for a long period, and I have an unbalanced ear fluid issue which always make me feel I could never do any inversion headstand and side crow post, but still, all the steps from warm-up to final pose that I have learned in the group class was not a stressful process, I feel the progressing every week little by little while practicing at home with the correct movement, now I confident enough to do the shoulder stand, crow pose, flying frog pose all can stand for 5 breathing. Thanks to all the masters they have shown me the different ways to achieve the pose by knowing my body limitation.

Gratitude to Anahata I feel so lucky that I have joined Anahata and I am so grateful to all the masters at Anahata Master Yogananth for your profound knowledge that has deepened my cognition for yoga and applying it in my daily life. His expertise in various topics on yoga including asanas opened my eyes even more to yoga as a lifestyle as well. Although his classes are difficult to book I learned a lot from each of his classes and felt so happy and content. And also very grateful for your useful advice on my teaching assignment Master Raja’s classes are so interesting and he is so humorous that making me no feeling of tiredness after class, and he is always focused on opening each part of our body rather than the final asanas. I learned a lot of warm ups from him, and he lead me into a deeper yoga level while the YTT theory. Before his YTT I only focused on asanas practice too much that I hurt myself, now I slowed it down and find the balance between asanas and my mind . I feel happier than before. Master Pratyay’s classes are always so energetic and powerful, and He stated my curiosity in inversion yoga and from a beginner to an intermediate level I think, also he has made me conquer my fear of falling down when practising. I enjoyed every class of his. Master Kammy is always so sweet and patient to all the students in each class and she even spoke mandarin to help me in her class (because my spoken English is poor ) Thanks to Master Dilip, Keshav, Vishnu, Mahesh and so on … for your helpful and well-structured instruction and technique, you all have helped me a lot in my yoga journey. I am also grateful to the studio staff at Anahata, you all made me so welcome in Anahata. Finally, what I have gained from Anahata is not all about yoga, but also I learned to be more patient and confident which leads me to be a better person in life. Also thanks to Anahata I made some friends here which make my life enriched

Anahata Yoga is the go-to studio when it comes to teacher training and for serious yoga practitioners in Hong Kong. Having completed two teaching training courses at Anahata, I decided to continue the journey and completed the 200 hours of foundation training. Within a short period of time, we learnt about yoga history and philosophy, the eight limbs of yoga and how we can incorporate them in our daily life, pranayama and meditation, kriyas, anatomy, as well as a wide range of asanas, how we can further deepen our practice, both for our own selves and for our students. The flexible programme schedule enables working professionals to participate in and benefit from the course fully.

It was a wonderful way to realise my dreams - taking my first steps in becoming a yogi. Joining this YTT course taught me a lot in both anatomy and practical classes. It deepened my level of understanding of Yoga and the depth it entails, bringing good spirits, mindfulness and positivity. Everyone was so encouraging and I had the most fantastic time. I loved every moment and felt very thankful for this opportunity. This course has prepped me well to continue following my dreams. All the masters are so enthusiastic in teaching and were so helpful in providing a welcoming atmosphere. I will definitely come back for my next level of training. Thank you so much to all my beloved Masters, you have been an inspiration.

I absolutely enjoyed the course and imbibed each and every part of the modules. I wanted to take this opportunity to thank Master Yoganathan for sharing his teachings and experience, I felt a state of bliss with your sessions. . He taught me the right technique to do many poses including headstands and helped me build confidence. Thanks to Master Keshav for the pranayama and meditation module, Master Raja- Thanks for giving us a great start & introduction to the basics of Yoga, loved your energy and vibes. You led us by the right examples of Yama and Niyama :). Master Vishnu and Master Dilip - I'm glad I got an opportunity to learn anatomy from you. Master Mahesh - thanks for teaching us the asana module and going deeper into each asana. Areas of improvement: The learning book could have been a little more organized. TAlso, it would have been nice if a general sequence to practice asana's at home was shared or documented in the coursebook.

I want to take the time to say “thank you” and express just how enjoyable the YTT course was with Master Raja, Master Vishnu, Master Keshav, Master Yogananth and Master Mahesh. I felt I connected with each one and learned so, so much from them. They are all true masters of their craft and I am grateful for the energy and time they all gave to coach me during my practice. I sat through each class with eagerness and excitement and have honestly not felt so invigorated in a long time since starting the course. Through attending class and engaging with each master my yoga practice has improved significantly as has my confidence. I am proud to begin my teaching journey here and hope it will not stop there. Highly recommend this course to anyone who wishes to learn properly from the foundation and if you have a goal to teach to one day.

I am truly grateful to have completed the teacher training course this year. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all the Anahata yoga masters who have generously shared with us their knowledge and experience during this wonderful journey. Thank you for unveiling the power and principles of yoga, and for showing me a new dimension with endless opportunities and possibilities. Although the course has officially come to an end, I am going to keep practising patiently, calmly and happily each day to seek consistent improvement. Namaste.

This course has well equipped me with the important basic knowledge on the practice of yoga through the main modules: yoga history, human anatomy, types of pranayama, mudra, bandha practice, and asana practice with each module intertwined with each other. It was a great experience having different masters in each module for diverse learning and approach and particularly enjoyed the final assessment where we could actually experience leading a class!

When the class started on the first of August, I thought that I could not complete the course; because I was working on shift duty. Fortunately, my superiors and colleagues gave me convenience and allowed me to have holidays on Mondays and Wednesdays. Therefore, I was able to attend the class. I Thank you Master for allowing us to video for recording. Every Master is good at teaching. The last three months I enjoyed the class and learned so much related to Yoga. Once again thanks to all Masters!

I have been practicing yoga for 3 years. Before I applied for RYT-200, my expectation of a teacher training course was just merely about doing difficult asana and improving my alignment. Yet, RYT-200 is a totally different thing and it changed my perception of yoga entirely. Yoga is not just about asana, but its anatomy, philosophy, teaching skills, ethics, sequencing more and more. they are the roots, the foundation. Before TT, when I practised yoga, I just followed what the teacher do in the class without thinking why the flow is structured like that. But now when I’m practicing, I will think about what part of the muscles I’m using and why a particular pose must be followed as a counterpose or neutralizing pose. The course influences my thinking to judge what is good for the body and what is not. Another thing I got from the course is that teaching yoga is hard. Even the seemingly easy poses, mountain pose, child pose or simple breathing exercise… when I cue for the first time during class, I was just babbling and I knew cueing requires tons of practice, effort and observation to other yoga teachers. I also enjoy the variety of RYT-200 masters. Each master has a different style, eg. Master Mahesh is very slow and explain everything in detail. One time in his Andiappan class, he was taught to transition from headstand to baby crow. I’ve never properly done this pose before. And when he’s here in the class, with a very slow vibe, I magically did the transition. He let me realized the importance of a calm mind without ego. More and more. With different styles of masters, it opens my mind and I can know more about what suits me the most and better improve myself. Yoga is not about how good you are but the attitude you approach doing it. It is effort, consistency and a calm mind.

My gratitude to Anahata Yoga Let me begin by saying thank you to all the masters and staff for being patient with me throughout my learning process. Anahata Yoga is one of my favourite yoga studio with wonderful and experienced masters, beautiful space, as well as a variety of classes that are perfect for any level of experience. • Master Yogananth is a humble, authentic and generous teacher; he has energy and true passion for his teaching, wanting to educate and inspire others. He so eagers to share everything he has learnt so that others could also experience the same wonderful benefits. • Master Keshav knows how to teach and empower students. Rather than just teaching us certain poses, he helps us understand the learning processes involved, as well as the principles of practice, so that we learn to understand and listen to our own bodies. I left with one more knowledge of yoga every time after his classes. • Master Raja’s sense of humor always makes the classes full of joy. His enthusiasm for teaching and preparedness that brings to the teacher training courses are really appreciated. The class always feels very thoughtful and I really enjoy the way he weaves yoga philosophy into each classes. • Last but not the least, thank you to Master Dilip, Master Vishnu and Master Mahesh for guiding me to walk through the yoga journey with grace and passion. • I’m so thankful and happy that I joined the YTT training with Anahata. Thanks to all masters who knows how to take care of every students in the class. This course is a fantastic learning experience that incorporates education, fun, and a sense of community and equips you to enter the yoga world with tools, confidence and enthusiasm. I highly recommend this course to anyone who is looking for a certificate with authentic knowledge.

Thank you for all masters in the course and all of you help me to have better learning in yoga. I love to learn and grow here. Will continue my journey with Anahata Yoga.

An eye-opener course. Received a deep knowledge of yoga. Great Teachers, highly recommended

Is it possible for an aged body like mine to pass YTT200? Not quite, if the days at Anahata had not been nourished by our caring masters and loving peer. I had my first headstand with confidence built by Master Vishnu’s encouraging smiles; my first lift off to crow through the step-by-step modifications taught by Master Keshav; and never would I forget Master Mahesh’s persistence to see me accomplish a clumsy handstand on the wall after repeated failures, and his request to “smile” from the class’ tense faces holding up the pose, which made the room burst into laughter. Of course, the journey, like mentioned in our YTT handbook, should be more than asanas. Countless were there moments that inspired our minds and touched my hearts: Master Yogananth, who filled our Sunday mornings with teachings that made a note pad filled with scribbles that we longed for more; and Master Raja’s questioning which helped the dreamy heads stay focused and dig into the PowerPoint for revision on the MTR before stepping into the studio. And lucky enough, I met peer who were kind to show me a trick, to give a hands-on alignment and to go through all challenges by adding synergy and support. Not only were these loving hearts found in the YTT200 classroom, I met some inspiring seniors in the Andiappan sessions. There were days when the advanced students, apparently advanced enough to have inherited heartily, would offer helping tips to make me tumble less. It would not have been possible, for my clumsy aged body and ignorant mind to gain so much from the 200 hours spent, if I had not stepped into the studio for a trial out of my comfort zone. I am still inadequate, incompetent and green. Yet, thank you masters and everyone I met on the course, for taking me to the very first step to see the beauty of Yoga. And thank you Valery and Nicole, your warm greetings made us feel like home : )

The course helps me to understand "what is yoga" and guide us on the way to prepare as a teacher.

Very holistic and lots of key information. Not just a course for yogis, it also contained a lot of information on treating wellness and overall physical and mental health.

Thank you for bringing me a great journey to yoga.

The course is very informative and useful, each asana is dissected well. All masters are knowledgeable. very kind and patient. Suggest using props (eg skeleton model) when teaching anatomy for an easier understanding.
