Both level 1 and 2 were very good and informative courses. Learnt a lot through interaction with the teacher . Really liked the asanas variations and new approaches. We had Small group of 10-12 is good.

IT WAS AN AMAZING JOURNEY TO FIND OUT THE LIMITATIONS OF OUR BODY AND HAVING THE PATIENCE, TO BUILD THE FLEXIBILITY AND STRENGTH. I LIKED THE INSTRUCTION FOR WARMUP OF ALL DIFFERENT MUSCLE GROUPS WITH ANATOMICAL EXPLANATION. ALSO THE ANATOMICAL REQUIREMENTS IN TERMS OF READINESS FOR APARTICULAR POSE AND WARM UPS DIRECTED TO THAT.

It was a special experience for me to join the Level 1 course as a woman in midlife with stiff muscles. All of the final postures in the handout looked like mission impossible for me at the beginning. However, all the masters of Anahata are very professional, patient and helpful. We never got any chances to injure ourselves during the practice of those challenging poses. After the intensive three-week training, I can perform most of the variation and modification poses and feel great and blissful about it. Namaste

After I completed YTT 200 hours and Yoga Therapy 300hours, I was looking for something challenging to do. Hatha Advance Level 1-2 was the perfect training to do since I was looking for something to deepen and develop my practice. I started my 30 hours self-practice earlier because I knew that my body needed to be ready for a minimum of 3 hours of intensive practice a day during this training. The poses are challenging, but we did an intensive warm-up and preparation every time and they showed us steps to follow to the final pose. Sometimes the final pose was too difficult for me, but we had variations and modifications of every asana. I felt very safe during the training, as Master Yogananth, Master Mahesh, and Master Kamal were very clear about how to prepare our body, performing safely avoiding injury. I learnt a lot of poses also in Sanscrit name, anatomy, benefits, and chakra awareness and technics regarding how to use props. I m very happy with the result, and I feel confident to do my home practice working on these beautiful poses. Thank you very much to the Masters that guided me and helped me to do my best. Namaste

I truly enjoyed the Advanced Hatha Yoga Teacher Training Course in Anahata. Master analyzed every pose in anatomy view and explained very detail of how to get into each pose and variations. Although poses are hard and intense but I truly learned a lot. I would highly recommend for anyone who is interested in exploring more in Yoga. Yoga poses are widely performed but not widely well understood. In this course you can learn lots of knowledge of Yoga. It was a unique and unforgettable piece in my yoga journey. Appreciate all Masters put their effort in teachings, patience and time. I have gained so much knowledge and experience from this teacher training.

Thank you. Master Yogananth, Master Mahesh and Master Vishnu. They are very experienced and devoted themselves in the teaching. We are inspired and aroused to learn more and reassure the benefits of yoga. The training was fun and interesting.

Thank you Master Yogananth, Master Mahesh, and Master Kamal. It is a gift to be able to experience the practice with you. I have proved to myself the true strength I have, become more aware and living a better life. Namaste

The 200 YTT course has been a fantastic experience. The Masters are very knowledgeable, patient, and provide ongoing support. It was great to experience variety of teaching/guiding styles. Every one of the masters brought to the course incredible amount of positive energy and it was a pleasure to learn from them. I would highly recommend this course to my friends. I am also looking forward to continue my personal yoga journey and continue to practice at Anahata after the summer. Thank you for to all for all.

Overall, the Advanced Practice teacher training was a tremendous growth experience for me, both physically (increased strength & flexibility) and mentally (improved confidence, courage & knowledge). I had reached a point in my personal practice where I was no longer progressing by going to group classes and wanted to learn how to take my practice to the next level. Additionally, I was interested in teaching professionally and wanted to get some experience to see if I would enjoy it and to see if I had the aptitude for it. I was pleased with the variety of postures we focused on throughout the course and the three hour class duration provided the opportunity to really open my body and try more challenging poses. This, coupled with the personal assistance given by the instructors and the knowledge I gained of the muscular anatomy helped me to learn not just which muscles to engage/relax when doing challenging postures, but also how to properly warm up the body and which neutralizing movements and counter-poses to do in order to prevent injury. I found the manuals to be extremely informative. They were instrumental during the course and will serve as an ongoing reference for my personal practice. The photographic sequence for the Warm Up and Steps provided a great visual guide to achieving certain postures and the related text helped to increase my knowledge of the anatomy involved with each pose, as well as the health benefits. As for the supplemental sections, Rope yoga was particularly useful in order to learn how to safely use the props to open the body and practicing the Kriyas was a great experience that seems important for anyone who wants to teach. Partner yoga was fun and probably good for future teachers to be aware of the practice, but I did not find it to be critical and would prefer to work on more individual poses, if I were to do the course over again. Minor suggestions for improvement include: highlighting which of the warm up poses is the eligibility pose, in the text you could suggest a counter pose, highlight risk of injury and add what the main challenge of the pose is, lastly page numbers would be great to save time in class. During the training my greatest challenge, as well as my greatest area of growth, came during the teaching exercises. I appreciated learning more about the anatomy for specific postures, which translated into a better understanding of how to get into the poses myself, as well as how to articulate to someone else how to do so. I was grateful for all the opportunities given throughout the course to practice assisting one another. Personally, I was nervous to lead the class and appreciated that we were eased into the experience over the three modules, starting with leading the chanting, teaching warm up, teaching two poses and ending by running 1/3 of a class. As someone interested in teaching, the more opportunities to practice, the better, if not to get over my nerves on the mat, then to figure out how to put together a comprehensive sequence for a full class. I know time is limited during the actual course, so Ive welcomed the opportunity to work with the Andiappan community. It has provided invaluable exposure to students and has allowed me to find my own voice and become more comfortable with my teaching style. The Teaching Methodology handout has been a helpful resource, providing general instructions on how to conduct oneself as a teacher and a detailed framework for how to structure a class. If you were able to expand on it and offer some sample sequences for classes that focused on back bending, forward bending, shoulders and upper back, hip and hamstring opening or inversions, Im sure future students would appreciate. Lastly, the single greatest value of the course came from Master Yogananth Andiappan. His personal practice is an inspiration and his guidance, wisdom and humility made him, as well as the advanced yoga postures, wholly accessible. I had complete confidence in his knowledge and ability to adjust me in such a way as to get into poses that seemed beyond my reach. Thank you for providing such an amazing experience.

First of all I really want to thanks Master Yogananth for sharing his passion and professionalism with us. My experience during the course could be paragonate as the beginning of a wonderful journey that will never end. Each step I done bring me lightness, path, space, simplicity, brightness, flexibility, warmness, close friend, positivism, strength and much more… I can feel as all my world is changing around me and I feel very grateful. I personally still have a long way to go before I assimilate all that has been teach but seeing all this small progress motivate me to go a head. Level 1 & 2 was physically demanding but incredibly amazing how Master Yogananth bring us in such amazing position and give us so much confidence. I really wont mind repeat this experience one day, who knows.Level 3 was more spiritual and help us connect all the input we received from YTTC 200hrs up to the end I really enjoyed it. Thanks Anahata for offering us this level of teaching in the heart of HK. Thanks for everything.

Dear Masters and Coordinators, I had an amazing experience learning aspects of yoga from well-trained and committed teachers in a warm yet serious setting. The Hong Kong Anahata staff, were accommodating and personable all the while holding a great amount of professionalism. I hope to continue with the 2nd teacher training in the near future. Master Vishnu gave our group a great deal of attention and I would especially like to thank him for sharing his therapy knowledge with us. I believe the traditional aspects of this training surpass many other teacher-trainings I know of. I am able to now continue teaching with a more holistic approach, thanks to Anahata.

The teacher training is truly inspirational to me, not only to my own practice, as well as my personal growth and the way I further express my teaching to the students. With the help of Master Yogananth, I understand my strength, my weakness, my limitations and focus. Highly recommend this teacher training course to all levels of yoga practitioners.

I thoroughly enjoyed the Advanced Hatha Yoga Teacher Training Course in Anahata. The classes were very intensive and tough to both our body and mind, yet, was an unique and unforgettable piece in my yoga journey. I learnt a lot about helping each others in yoga, as a partner and also as a support to other, especially when we were pushing ourselves way beyond our limit. We all found ourselves has grown and exceed our perceived limit during this breakthrough pathway. I have learnt new and even more advance postures, how to teach and support the others, but I must not forget the essence of synchronising our body and mind during the journey. What I have learnt and experienced are gift and blessing from the natural, passing to and sharing with the others would be another milestones of our yoga life. Specially I appreciate all the Master teachers put their effort in their teachings, patience and time. I have gained so much knowledge and experience from this teaching training.

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.
