Thank you for offering group classes for practice purpose. It's really helpful and inspiring to experience yoga classes taught by different masters as each of them have their own style and believe in yoga which provides a great chance for widening understanding of yoga and shaping my beliefs about yoga. Highly recommend this course and the studio.

It was a wonderful experience. Though it was an online course I did not feel like I lacked anything. The instructors were very knowledgeable, experienced and dedicated.

Philosophy & Lifestyle: I thoroughly enjoyed the philosophy modules; they provided profound inspiration for how I approach my daily life. Anatomy & Asana Methodology: Regarding the anatomy and movement portions, I found the individual asana breakdown a bit difficult to retain. I suggest categorizing the curriculum by functional groups (e.g., back-bends vs. forward-folds) rather than isolated poses. Identifying the "key features" and universal alignment principles for a category like back-bends would make the knowledge much more accessible and memorable. New Perspectives: Finally, the sessions andiappanyoga, Gong baths, kundalini and Inversions truly broadened my horizons. They evoked sensations I had never experienced before, helping me deeper understand my "why" on this yoga journey and "why" those effect happened on my body. I even comparared the the effect of yoga and swimming which make me further understand why yoga is good.

To the Faculty and Management of Anahata Yoga Centre, I am writing to offer my heartfelt feedback on the 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training Certification course I recently completed. This journey has been transformative in ways I could not have anticipated when I first stepped onto the mat as a trainee. A Journey of Transformation When I enrolled in this course, I expected to learn how to teach yoga. What I did not expect was how profoundly the experience would reshape my understanding of yoga itself—and of myself. The 200-hour journey at Anahata Yoga Centre has been far more than a certification program; it has been an initiation into a deeper way of living, moving, and being. From the very first session, I felt welcomed into a community of sincere practitioners and compassionate teachers. The atmosphere at the centre balances professionalism with warmth, creating a container safe enough for vulnerability and growth. This balance is difficult to achieve, yet Anahata maintains it effortlessly. Curriculum and Instruction The curriculum was comprehensive and thoughtfully sequenced. We moved through: · Asana practice and alignment: Each posture was broken down with careful attention to anatomical principles, allowing me to understand not just how to perform poses but why they work. The hands-on adjustments and verbal cues provided by the instructors refined my personal practice while preparing me to guide others. · Pranayama and subtle body: The breathing practices introduced me to dimensions of yoga I had only read about. Learning to work with prana has deepened my practice immensely and given me tools I now share with my own students. · Philosophy and ethics: The sessions on yogic philosophy, particularly the Yoga Sutras and the Bhagavad Gita, grounded our physical practice in the larger tradition. I especially appreciated how the instructors made ancient texts relevant to contemporary life. · Teaching methodology: From sequencing principles to hands-on adjustments to the art of verbal cueing, every aspect of teaching was addressed with care. The opportunity to practice-teach and receive constructive feedback was invaluable. · Anatomy and physiology: The anatomy modules were accessible yet thorough, providing essential knowledge for safe teaching. The faculty members brought not only expertise but genuine presence to every session. They taught not only through their words but through their example—showing us what it means to live yoga both on and off the mat. Highlights of the Experience Several aspects of the training stand out as particularly meaningful: The community of fellow trainees: Sharing this journey with a group of sincere, supportive individuals created bonds I will carry forward. We laughed together, struggled together, and grew together. The friendships formed during this training are among its greatest gifts. The silent morning practices: Beginning each day in silence, with pranayama and meditation, established a foundation of presence that carried through the entire training. These quiet mornings taught me more about the nature of mind than any lecture could. The gradual progression: The course was designed so that each week built upon the last. By the final days, I realized how much I had integrated—not just intellectually but somatically. The learning had moved from head to heart to body. The feedback culture: Instructors offered feedback generously and skillfully, always in ways that supported growth without diminishing confidence. Peer feedback sessions were equally valuable, teaching me to receive input with openness and to offer it with kindness. Areas for Growth While my experience was overwhelmingly positive, I offer a few observations that may support future trainings: The philosophy sessions, while excellent, felt occasionally rushed. Given the richness of the material, additional time for discussion and integration would deepen understanding. Similarly, a slightly longer practicum component would allow trainees even more opportunity to develop teaching confidence before graduation. These are minor suggestions for an already exceptional program. Personal Transformation Before this training, I considered myself a dedicated practitioner. I now understand that I was only scratching the surface. The 200-hour course has given me: · Deeper self-awareness: I have come to know my patterns—physical, mental, emotional—with greater clarity. This awareness is the beginning of freedom. · Teaching confidence: I now feel prepared to step onto the teacher's mat with integrity, knowledge, and humility. I understand that teaching is not about performing but about serving. · Lifelong tools: The practices I have learned will sustain me for the rest of my life, both personally and professionally. · Authentic connection: I have found a community and a tradition to which I belong. Gratitude and Recommendation To the directors, faculty, and staff of Anahata Yoga Centre: thank you. Thank you for creating this training, for holding space for our growth, for sharing your wisdom with generosity and patience. Thank you for maintaining the integrity of the tradition while making it accessible to contemporary seekers. Thank for you for the countless small kindnesses—the encouraging words, the thoughtful adjustments, the patient answers to endless questions. I recommend this training without reservation to anyone considering the path of yoga teaching. Whether one intends to teach professionally or simply to deepen personal practice, the 200-hour course at Anahata Yoga Centre offers an experience of genuine transformation. I leave this training not with a certificate but with a calling. I am grateful, humbled, and ready to serve. With deepest gratitude and folded hands,

I am currently in the final stages of the 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training at Anahata Yoga Hong Kong, and the entire experience has been outstanding and deeply rewarding. The course content is exceptionally well-structured and comprehensive—covering asana, anatomy, philosophy, pranayama, meditation, and teaching methodology in a balanced, systematic way that builds depth. What I love most, however, is the warm and harmonious community: the supportive interactions with classmates, inspiring graduates who continue attending classes, and the patient, knowledgeable teachers have created such an encouraging and easy-to-learn environment. The front desk staff are always friendly and welcoming, making every visit feel pleasant and home-like. I also feel very grateful for the opportunity to engage in volunteer activities through the Andiappan Yoga Community—it has added a meaningful sense of giving back and purpose to the training. Even though the course is not yet fully complete, I already know I want to continue coming here for classes. Thank you so much to the entire team—this has been transformative!

I am really loving this training. partner yoga and teaching super fun, and LOVE when Master Yogananth teaches and assists in partner yoga!! I am so grateful for Anahata. Most importantly it is the teachings of the Masters regarding Yama Niyama that I am trying to instill within myself on the toughest days!!

I would like to express my sincere gratitude for the excellent YTT training program. I truly enjoyed the course and greatly appreciate the guidance provided by the talented and experienced teachers. The program gave me a clear understanding of how to learn and practice yoga effectively. It also provided valuable insights into teaching yoga to different age groups, including elderly individuals and those with health conditions. The anatomy sessions were particularly informative and helped me understand how yoga can support the management of various health issues. Thank you once again for this enriching learning experience.

I recently completed the Yoga Therapy Teacher Training Program, and it was a truly transformative experience. The instructors were incredibly knowledgeable and supportive, providing personalized feedback that helped me grow as both a yogi and a teacher. The curriculum was well-structured, covering essential topics from anatomy to teaching methodologies, and the community was wonderfully supportive. I particularly appreciated the emphasis on practical experience, which gave me the confidence to start teaching my own classes. Overall, I highly recommend this program to anyone looking to deepen their practice and pursue a career as a yoga teacher. Thank you to all the instructors, and a special thanks to Master Vishnu.

YTT300 has been very informative and the yoga masters at Anahata have a wealth of knowledge to share with their students. Yoga Therapy & Ayurveda has given me a newfound interest in anatomy and I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to develop a better understanding of one’s health as well as take their yoga journey to another level.

This yoga teacher training programme is a transformative journey in every way. The teachers are incredibly knowledgeable, supportive and passionate about sharing their expertise. The course helped me to deepen practice, build confidence and strong foundation to teach yoga. Grateful for this incredible knowledge sharing.

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.

I now understand asana practice is just a tip of the iceberg. 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.

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.

It has been the best learning experience of yoga for me. Thanks to Yogananth, Raja 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.

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.
