Online Class Participation Option: 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 the temporary closure of yoga studios due to COVID social distancing measures, we will conduct the teacher training theory topics such as the yoga intro module, yoga anatomy module through interactive online learning mode.
For students who wish not to attend the practical part of the teacher training online during the mandatory closure of yoga studios, we give the following options.

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.

Who we are
Anahata Yoga is a premier yoga center based in the heart of the Central district. It is best known for offering the most authentic yoga experience available in Hong Kong, with classes led by Indian instructors hailing from different lineages devoted to the practice and study of yoga.
As a center, Anahata Yoga is fully committed to fostering a community of yoga practitioners who are not only equipped with the skills to perform yoga as a daily activity, but as well as the knowledge to live out yoga as a lifestyle.
Why us?
We recognize that yoga is a popular pursuit in Hong Kong. People seek it out for its health benefits and often incorporate it into their active lifestyles. However, yoga instruction is not equal among the various yoga centers in Hong Kong. This is where our accredited Teacher Training Courses make all the difference.
Our courses are accredited by, and offered in conjunction with, Asana Andiappan College of Yoga and Research Centre in India. This is the first time outside of India that such a programme is being offered.
Our classes are designed and taught in the same way as our instructors are taught. 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.

The course is a good starting point for those interested in learning more about these two subjects.

About Yoga Therapy
Yoga has always traditionally been taught on an individual level, with tailor-made sessions designed to address unique and specific physical and mental conditions – a practice that cannot be implemented in classes with a large group of students. A therapeutic approach to yoga, thus, is the best way to start with the practice.
The following points fall within the concept of yoga therapy:
- 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
This course is best suited for
- Yoga Instructors
- Holistic Therapists
- Massage Therapists
- Healers
- Kinesiologist
- Sports Trainers
- Meditation Teachers
- Chiropractors
- Physio Therapists
- Medical Practitioners
- People with common medical conditions and are interested to learn how to yoga and Ayurveda practices can be applied to various conditions.
- Regular yoga students who would like to learn the two great sister sciences of yoga and Ayurveda.
