COVID – 19 Safety Measures for our ongoing and upcoming Yoga Teacher Training Courses – Class Arrangements
The safety of our students and staff is our top priority. Currently (Effective from 18th Feb 2021) all the teacher training classes are conducted face to face in the studio. Regular group/ private classes are also conducted in the studio. Students may also choose to attend our Teacher Training courses and recommended group and Andiappan Yoga classes, and complete the practical assessment online and submit written assignments online. If the Hong Kong government announces closure of yoga studios due to COVID social distancing measures, we will conduct the teacher training theory topics such as yoga intro module, yoga anatomy module through interactive online learning mode. Students who wish not to attend the practical part of the teacher training online during the mandatory closure, we give the following options. Option 1) You can skip attending the online classes in the current batch and join the teacher training classes when the classes are moved back to the studio. We will arrange to assign you to another batch (subject to availability) and complete the missed classes. Please note you have six months to complete the remaining classes (online or studio classes) from the current batch commencement date. Due to mandatory Covid lockdown measures we will waive the class retake admin fee. or Option 2 ) You can apply for a one time free batch transfer before the start of the current course to another upcoming batch which starts within the next six months of the current course start date. You have to choose two batch options to request for this batch transfer. Please note once the batch transfer is approved (subject to availability), all the teacher training classes must be completed within the same batch. Any offers, promotions or special approvals given to original batch students will not be given to the batch transfer/ retake students who choose any one of the above arrangements. At Anahata, we strive to give the best learning experience possible and to help you stay inspired on your yoga journey.Who we are

Predominantly from India, our instructors are fully learned not only in the practice of their discipline, but also in the history and philosophy behind the practice. The resulting combination of grassroots knowledge both practical and theoretical in our programmes give students more in-depth learning than they may able to find elsewhere in Hong Kong.About the course

- Designing tailor-made yogic practices according to the individual's body type and lifestyle
- Effectively addressing and treating an individual's physical and mental ailments through such tailored practices
- Planning a nutritious yogic and Ayurvedic diet programme, recommending lifestyle changes and treating addictions through yogic mindful living and meditative practices
- Understanding and applying the practices and philosophy of yoga in our daily lives, as well as advocating their benefits to family and friends
- Being in connection with nature's five elements, adopting a healthy and environmentally-conscious lifestyle and truly understanding our responsibility as human beings on all levels and stages
