Your feedback and learning experience about the course I enjoy the class in Anahata. During the YTT 200hrs, I have spent 3-4 days yoga practice per week. Yoga has become my daily routine. The course is not only equip me some basic knowledge about Yoga, but also train up my patient and body. In this course, I met lots of amazing master. They always give us a clean and cheerful ideas to achieve the goal. We will know how to do the pose in safe way to avoid injury. In this 3 months, I have tried lots of new yoga pose with lots of modifications and verifications. It’s a good ideas for us to practice yoga in different way at different level. I will strongly recommend to my friend to Anahata for this course. Also, I will keep practice here to enhance my yoga knowledge.

I spent lots of time researching where to take my yoga teacher training and I find that I make my right choice here. It was a great experience of my first YTT in Anahata, the training let me know more about yoga that it isn’t not only about asana but many things as well. All Masters that teach the training are knowledgeable, well-experienced and supportive. For the prenatal training, we’re not only learn doing asana, we also know about mediation and some contradictions during pregnancy. It’s really help me a lot to deepen my yoga knowledge especially for pregnant women. The best part was that we touched on various meditation skills, modification of prenatal series, reason for doing these poses and more. The Masters are always welcome for questions and extra help. Besides training course, the group classes and Andiappan classes improve my yoga skills immensely and my knowledge of the asanas grow dramatically. During Andiappan classes, it’s more chance for me to interact with other classmates and let me assisting each other for doing certain poses. This is a really good way to learn that I have more experience to assist student when I teach in the future. In general, the studio is warm and welcoming, no matter my yoga skill level is experienced or not. I definitely recommend this YTT course to my yogi friends

The course was a great experience. Lessons I will take with me throughout my life.

As I have been taking this course, I am more satisfied than I expected I would be. First of all, all masters are very passionate about teaching and have considerable expertise in every aspect of yoga. They actively interact with students and kindly help them to do self-practice in Andiappan class. That’s why I could improve a lot very fast on the knowledge as well as asana. I also could gain a lot of knowledge about the muscles involved in some of the specific asana through anatomy class, and could enhance spiritual awareness through meditation class. Especially, the final demonstration was very helpful in wrapping up all the knowledge that I acquired from this course and understanding making a sequence for a yoga class with benefits, contraindications, warm-up, modifications, neutralizing and variations etc. Yoga has been a means to balance and harmonize my body, mind and emotions. I will continue on with my own yoga journey, keeping this amazing experience at Anahata as a momentum. Namaste!

I really enjoyed learning more in depth about pregnancy options and how people can safely practice yoga while gaining all the benefits. All the masters were very knowledgable.

Wonderful course having so much about the pranayama and meditation techniques leading to healthy and peaceful living.

I joined this course, as I am pregnant myself and I wanted to deepen my yoga practice during pregnancy, and to immerse myself in an overall yogic- experience in this phase. I was a little worried initially about completing 100 hours in such a short span of time, but it is amazing how much flexibility the course offered in terms of different classes and timings that I could choose from depending on my energy levels week on week ranging from Pranayama, Yin Yoga or more challenging Hatha practices. I loved how the course was structured and gave a lot of emphasis to pranayama, chakras, Tratak meditation and aspects of yoga that are little appreciated or taught. I felt that all the masters have this great field of energy around them making the class interactions a deeply uplifting experience. All masters are extremely down-to-earth and friendly and were happy to answer any questions we had in great detail. They also all have a different unique style of teaching, different backgrounds and come with their own set of experiences with pregnant women, which make the course very holistic as the students are exposed to a range of teaching methods, alternate ways to sequence a class and perspectives. I also loved the discussions on food and life-style choices for pregnant women that are rooted in Ayurveda, Garbha Shastra (old Vedic texts pertaining to the womb) and old Indian practices. Occasionally I found some aspects of these teachings quite controversial, but I still personally loved it as it expanded my thought process even though I did not necessarily agree with the masters on some topics. This course overall, was an excellent pregnancy management tool for my own pregnancy, other than being an excellent teacher training course. I can earnestly say it helped me manage several of my pregnancy related issues like body stiffness, aches and pains, insomnia, mood swings, gas and reflux that I had dealt with last pregnancy. It helped me relax deeply, and connect with my body and my baby with a confidence and intuition that I did not know I possessed. Understanding the necessary modifications for a pregnant anatomy, enabled me to attend any yoga class and modify it to work for me. I will recommend this course especially to all pregnant women (not just aspiring teachers) if you want to have a strong, healthy, profoundly fulfilling pregnancy in a yogic way. I feel so blessed to have found this course in my current phase, as it will always make this pregnancy a very special one for me.

This 200-hr YTT provided a solid foundation in helping me understand the basics of yoga and how yoga has evolved over time. I was particularly drawn to the anatomy module and it helped me better understand my practice specifically in body alignment.

I've enjoyed the course and really appreciate that it was available mostly outside of working hours that I was able to take it even though I work full time. Thank you Anahata Studio! I've enjoyed learning about yoga history, our body anatomy and muscles, pranayama and trying some mediation techniques. Of course Master Yogananth Asana module is the most exciting as it provides deep insights into different poses modifications and variations as well as positive impacts. Although I wish we had more sessions talking about various class flows and targeted classes (like for backcare, hips, etc). The last exam experience was very useful and appreciate feedback given to us at the end of the exam. Now I'd love to try teaching part time and of course want to learn more by taking other more advanced or specialty courses, perhaps at the Anahata studio as well.

Overall the course is good. We have learnt a lot of different approaches for various pose, which is god for our self practice. The masters spend their best effort in helping us.

In Level 3, I could learn the teaching method and it was so valuable. I started teaching after finishing level3 and now I feel I understand what I have to do in a class when I teach. Thank you

I have learned Yoga for three years, in order to improve my knowledge and skill I would like to take an official training course at Anahata Yoga. I learned many new skill and knowledge about Yoga in Anahata Yoga. For example, Anatomy, Asana, Pranayama, Mudra, Bandha, Kriya, Teaching Technique which are very useful for me. I also learn not to compare myself to other people in yoga as we are all unique individuals. Each one of us has her gifts and her challenges. Each has her story. It’s impossible to compare. There is no use, and it doesn’t help. Practicing Yoga regularly is important, muscles and joints become tough and I cannot make the asana that I easily made just a couple of weeks before. Therefore, I have to keep practicing Yoga daily to keep improving.

After finish the 200 training course, I think I have learned a lot. It was not just the physical exercises but more beyond it. The history and anatomy parts of yoga let me know more about the yoga itself and know my body better. I like the masters in anahata who always give me useful suggestion and advice. I like the environment in anahata where feels so peaceful. It was a good start for my yoga journey and I will keep doing yoga as my lifestyle.

I would conclude that the YTT is the most meaningful and rewarding experience I had during the summer break. Prior to the teaching training, I have no formal training experience in Yoga. Throughout the two months of learning, I have gained profound changes in the understanding and awareness of the body and mind as well as the philosophy of yoga. The course is a very comprehensive introduction to the teaching of yoga as it consists of various modules that the key elements of yoga. After the 200 YTT, I hope to further enhance my practice and knowledge in Yoga. I realized that “The more you know, the more you don’t know”. In the coming days, I would continue with my self-practice and read more books about yoga. I also hope to join the Anahata Community Group to try teaching yoga and serve the community. I would also consider taking the more advanced course.

Great experience in learning yoga in depth. Practical classes and basic poses were explained in detail.
