Taking part in the Andianppan Yoga Education program was a truly outstanding experience for me. My body is now flexible and fit, and I learned how to teach yoga to others. I am highly thankful.

This was an enjoyable course for me. It had developed my yoga postures as well as my strength, and I was impressed by the results. I would definitely take another course in the future.

I am very grateful for being able to join an onsite training in Chennai intermediate -advanced intensive 200 hour yoga teacher training. I live in the UK and I have been teaching yoga for several years. The onsite training was recommended to me in the past by an andiappan yoga teacher. The price of the training, time and syllabus seemed all reasonable therefore I chosed this onsite training. For four weeks here in Chennai I took mainly practical classes, that suited me well; they were performed by different teachers. It was great as every teacher would shared sincerely their knowledge with students. They all are very skilled and I felt each day I learned something new - I was expanding my yoga knowledge to new heights. It has been an amazing experience in my yoga journey. I learned different teaching techniques that improved not just my personal progress of physical asanas but also expanded my knowledge how to teach yoga others at different levels; including various adjustments and modifications. Both Master Maharajan and Aruna vere very helpful and look after me and my yoga friend who came all the way from Ecuador to do the beginners yoga teacher training. They were making sure from the beginning to the end of our stay in Chennai that we are comfortable, helped us with settling down and with many other day to day basic practical needs and things. Also it was an wonderful atmosphere in the studio, our classmates were really lovely, we were helping each other during the practice as well we had lots of fun. I’m very happy with the whole training, it met all my expectations. In addition to it, I made new friends, both teachers and students, enlarged my yoga family to different dimensions.

Amazing yoga teachers! I wish I had completed my beginner's 200-hour course with these instructors as well! I feel that I have learned about yoga's history, philosophy, how to analyze a pose, and how to plan the warm-up or preparatory poses we need to do according to our limitations. I focused on the process, even when I could not achieve the final pose. Every single teacher was kind and thorough in what they taught us. I highly recommend this school to anyone who wishes to learn in a yoga teacher training course. Thank you!

The learning experience was excellent. The teachers were well-equipped to modify postures and explained them in a simple way for newcomers to yoga. Even if you couldn't achieve a picture-perfect pose, they encouraged you to do what was possible within your own capacity. This approach is a significant strength of online teaching at Andiappan Yoga School.

I recently completed the 200-hour intensive Hatha Yoga teacher training course, and I’m excited to share my positive experience! The course was exceptionally well-structured, allowing me to progress at a comfortable pace. The teachers were incredibly patient and supportive, which made mastering even the more challenging postures much more achievable. One of the standout aspects of the course was the engaging interactions with both the instructors and my peers. This sense of community truly enriched the online format, making the learning experience enjoyable and fulfilling. I’m looking forward to continuing my journey by participating in more classes to deepen my knowledge and enhance my understanding of yoga. I’m also considering one-on-one sessions with one of the masters to better understand my personal limitations and improve my practice. While the time difference between the EU and Asia during winter presents a unique challenge, I see it as an opportunity for growth and adaptability. A heartfelt thank you to everyone involved in creating such a rewarding learning experience! I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to deepen their yoga practice and knowledge.

If you're seeking to practice and train in yoga, look no further than Andiappan Yoga Centre. I am forever grateful to my teachers, particularly Raja Master and Sabari Aruna madam, for their unwavering patience and support throughout my yoga journey. Each teacher has their own unique specialty, which I have observed and noted: Master Raja: a wealth of knowledge on both theoretical and practical ways of attaining posture Master Shyam: simple yet effective methods for attaining poses, including therapeutic approaches Master Jaya Bharathi: focuses on happy hip opening, hamstring, and breathing techniques with ease Balaji Master: emphasizes strengthening, including arm balancing and core strengthening Master Vaishnav: innovates yoga with various flows to increase body strength and flexibility Master Rupesh: combines traditional and modern methods with props to strengthen the body Master Kumaran: specializes in twisting poses to tone the body Master Prakash: provides theory and practical approaches to Surya namaskar and vinyasa classes for enhanced learning and teaching Master Nivedha: focuses on moon salutation and provides theoretical knowledge on anatomy, Mudhras, Bandhas, Kriyas Master Nivedita: teaches yoga series of backbending and hamstring Madam Gowrikalyanasundaram: teaches theoretical anatomy classes to enhance understanding Last but not least, I want to give a shoutout to my inspiring peers Sudhakiran, Priya, Ramzan, and Gunasundari. Thanks to Andiappan Yoga Centre, I've made tremendous progress in my yoga practice and continue to grow with each passing day.

I’ve learnt a lot of new training techniques and teaching techniques and partner adjusting techniques yoga during this course. It also improved my flexibility and training techniques.

It has been a great learning experience to date. All the instructors assigned to me have immense of knowledge and experience and I am really lucky and fortunate to be learning from them. Highly recommend this course to anyone interested to learn yoga.

I have completed my 200 hours intensive hatha yoga teacher course, in IYA. The experience was awesome.. Every teacher was very dedicated in teaching each one of the students, correcting our postures and helping us understand the purpose of the asanas as a whole, with detailed explanation . yoga was taught holistically with the various limbs of ashtanga yoga, which is an asset from our ancient yogis. To name a few , masters Maharajan, Rajadurai, Keshav, Dhiraj, Mahesh, Priyanka and Dr.Yogananth have helped me in achieving tremendous improvement in my poses and gain knowledge in my course durations Especially, Master maharajan was extremely patient and awesome teaching capacity in explaining the concepts , in deep to the core with simple models. Maharajan master was very dedicated in teaching students with Lots of support and encouragement . Since I had a chance of attending one to one class with master maharajan, who has provided me lots of knowledge on asanas and way we look into poses are changed , which enhances our teaching capacity. From teaching point of view, I have learnt so much on how to approach and teach every pose based on the need of students. Also learnt how to apply yoga in various aspects of life. Totally, the course was taught in dedicated manner. Thanks to all.

Very much satisfied with the course. Happy to be associated with exceptionally qualified and skillful teachers.

I have gained more theoretical and practical knowledge, very excellent knowledgeable masters 1. Raja master and 2.prakash master. All classes too good and very knowledgeable. special thanks for raja master and prakash master, i have enjoyed the learning process and very much satisfied with the content of this course.

Level 3 was slightly less fruitful compared to level 1 & 2 but it was great in general. I think we can learn more different modifications / variations of asanas and use of props instead of partner yoga

This is the most amazing course I have gotten. The experience of teaching and demo is so special. Especially I could feel changing my inner body while preparing the demo.

In this level 3 we explored alot about partner yoga and teaching methods and sequencing. Very useful for my yoga teaching. Thank you for teaching from the heart.

One of the motives for me to join this program is deepening my knowledge to have better self-practice and enhance body awareness. It is no doubt that the program offered more than that. This program is not only providing a wide range of yoga and anatomical knowledge of each asana but also transforming myself to keep practicing yoga into my daily in physical and mental ways. Therefore, I would like to especially thank you Master Yogananth Andiappan who is offering an inspirational and educational yoga teacher training to us. He motivates us to keep practicing and also let us understand what challenges most students may face during the yoga practice. At the same time, I realized that teaching yoga can be one of the ways to deliver what we know to others as a giving so it does not matter what level of yoga I am practicing as long as it may help someone in the community. Meanwhile, the valuable taking away is knowing a group of yogi who is also obsessed with yoga and keen on practicing it regularly as a life-long friendship.

During the course of Level 3, I can have much more time to review what we learn and practice from Level 1 and Level 2 with Masters so that I can even understand more and deeper. Moreover, Masters taught some partner yoga and practiced with us. It's very interesting and I can teach my own yoga class by using some of these partner yoga postures. The feedback is very positive and good from my students. The most memorable times are the group teaching and self- demonstration. I learnt and enhanced much more for my yoga journey and teaching journey from both of Masters and classmates. Thanks for the support, love,and dedication you have all shown in my yoga journey.

The entire journey has been exceptional and inspirational. At Level 3, I have met new students and each has impressed by their dedication and commitment to yoga. The partners yoga has opened new perspectives for me, while the teaching project has been extremely useful in putting into practice principles I have learned since Level 1. Observing the teaching of my classmates and their final performances has been particularly insightful, too. I am deeply thankful of Master Yogananth and Master Mahesh for their excellent teaching and demos, as well as for guiding me deeper into yoga in every class.

I have been taking the yoga teacher trainings here for one year, all along from 200 hrs to 500hrs. Masters are knowledgeable, excellent and the lessons are full of fun. I indeed learnt a lot through the joyful classes and sharing experiences. I would like to thank Master Yogananth and Master Mahesh for your relentless efforts and valuable advices in guiding me throughout this challenging yet enjoyable journey. I love taking the classes of Master Raja, Master Pratyay and Master Keshav and thank for your comprehensive, conscientious teaching of challenging poses. Masters, thanks a lot!

Deepen my knowledge of the advance poses. Helps me to build up more confidence and strengthen my teaching technics. Inspired me a lot while creating my vinyasa flow practice and giving me a great opportunities to take a full revision of my yoga practice so far.

Time flies! I know that I still have a lot to learn even though the 300 Hours training is over. I always feel myself is a beginner in yoga because there are so much to learn physically, mentally and theoretically in yoga world. Although the training last only few months, it will take my life time to go for it and become a better me :)

I am very happy that I had done the Advanced Level 3 course. I had enjoyed it so much that it felt like it came and went in no time. As expected, Master Yogananth gave us master class after master class, sharing his invaluable teaching experience, and providing insightful pointers in teaching yoga under different situations and to different types of students. In teaching the intensive advanced poses, he gave clear instructions and was very attentive to how each of us was doing. I personally was able to receive his attention and help in each class. Master Mahesh was also masterful in his classes and always came to our assistance when we had difficulties with our practices. The partner yoga practices were both fun and challenging. It required not just skill but also trust between the partners. I am sure everyone enjoyed it as much as, if not more than, I did. The teaching exercise was useful in making us apply what we learnt to actual teaching. Master Yogananth’s review afterwards gave us invaluable takeaways that will benefit us all in our future teaching endeavours. The sequence demo made us recap all the asanas we have learnt and determine which ones we are confident of performing, and construct a good sequence to demonstrate skill and composure. It appeared at first the most daunting part of the course but as it turned out, it is the part that I enjoyed and cherish most.

My 300-hours intensive hatha yoga training was fantastic. Unfortunately, it was cut short due to circumstances beyond the school's control (the global outbreak of Covid-19, which required me to return home earlier than anticipated). In spite of this, my time in India was an unforgettable experience. I felt that I spent my days learning about yoga's origins and applications, visiting firsthand heritage sites important to both Yogic and Indian culture, and have departed with a fuller understanding of both yoga and my Andiappan instructors' culture and heritage. The teachers at the school were fantastic, especially Master Raja, who was patient, knowledgeable and focused, while still maintaining interesting and fun classes. Hailing from Hong Kong, I am very fortunate to get to study with Master Yogananth Andiappan regularly; but I really appreciated this opportunity to learn from Master Yogananth (and the other masters) in their homeland and the original environment from which yoga was born. Getting to experience living in India, eating the food, interacting with its friendly people - all have left an irreplaceable impact upon me. I definitely plan to return for further training at the Andiappan School in India (where they made me feel welcome, safe, and looked after). In the meantime, I will continue to digest all that I have learned on this training. I am humbled by the knowledge imparted upon me and I truly feel I have only just begun my personal yoga journey. Thank you and namaste!

The Level 3 Advanced Hatha Yoga Teacher Training was a very challenging yet enjoyable experience for me, in which I furthered my practice in yoga and gained insight into the future paths that I could take as a yoga enthusiast.

I am very satisfied. Centre is the most traditional and professional to learn yoga. All teachers are very talented and friendly.

It was great experience to learn and improve my skills in yoga. It will always be a big yes if anyone asks me before joining this institute.

Authentic Yoga with dedicated teachers. I learnt alot in this course. Vanakkam

Very good yoga teachers and I am happy to finish the course under Guruji Andiappan's Tradition

Thanks for masters here. They are all nice and friendly. They use to teach lots of techniques to approach the pose without hiding any secrets. Namaste!

I'll like to say that I'm really happy to have chosen your school for my training because I learned so much, mostly about asanas. My body has started to change, I developed a better motor control and I have to say that YOU have been the best yoga teacher I've ever met till now. So thank you really much for your classes and to share your knowledge. Another very good profesional is Mr.Prakash, he has deep knowledge, knows how to teach and I learned so much with him. He always was willing to give tips about different topics, share books, documents, and all his classes were really interesting. Apart from that, I have to say that my feedback is only for a constructive purpose and improving. Mr. Ezhili's classes were very interesting, all topic related to yoga, or yoga techniques, Mr. Annadurai is a very nice person, full of energy,

I loved the teacher training program. My teacher is a student of yours so I was familiar with the Andiappan approach and the Hatha classes were exactly as expected but better. I was surprised that there was a different level of student (beginners and advanced) but it was actually a good thing to be able to learn how to explain and adjust student that are not as used to asana practice than me. So it's interesting. Master Raja’s knowledge and creativity are endless but I’m sure you knew it. Ms.Ezhili was very good for the history/koshas/etc. I really liked her approach. Mr.Prakash was very interesting his point of view and method different from Andiappan and its very interesting, I really enjoyed the sutras and vinyasa karma yoga course. Mr.Andiappan is one of the kind, I loved his classes even though sometimes it's not easy to distinguish from the English/Sanskrit/Tamil/chanting but that’s actually the beauty of it. The children yoga class was super I highly recommend to include it in the program. Ms.Priyanka was also very good and knowledge but I only had one class with her. The naturopathy food was also very interesting I’d keep it too. I enjoyed living near them. So it has been a super experience, I wish I could stay for 500 hours. Maybe in the new campus who knows. All the best wishes! LIDIA IYATT-3903

Classes are really good,teaching is really nice. Making us understand everything which is needed. T

Here I come for the second time...I never get bored with the classes. I’m learning new techniques and a new approach in the second visit. Newly added classes such as yoga alignment and pavanamuktasana series are fascinating and thrilling...as everyone knows the teaching spirit of Maharajan sir, Rajadurai sir, Prakash sir always elevated to the sky level. Each of them has their own style of teaching which delivers a different approach. Definitely, a thumb up teaching session which makes students attentive focused and enjoyed. Practical session by Dr Gowri , Dr Subashini and Ms Ezhili is equally delivered in a professional manner. I’m going back with a new spirit and hopefully, I will come back again to learn more. My learning journey will never stop here. Dr. Anussa Krishnan Malaysia

DEAR ALL, I WOULD LIKE TO THANK ALL THE MASTERS AND THE TEACHERS IN THIS GURUJI ASANA ANDIAPPAN CENTRE FPR THEIR DEDICATION, TOWARDS THEIR PROFESSIONS. I HAVE LEARNED SO MUCH ABOUT THE OVERALL OF YOGA. MASTER RAJA WAS AN EXCELLENT MASTER WHO HAVE DRIVE ME TOWARDS MY LEARINGS. I WAS VERY IMPRESSED WITH MASTER RAJADURAI’S KNOWLEDGE AND THE WAY OF TEACHING. I AM VERY SATISFIED WITH THE TEACHINGS AND LOOKING FORWARD A WONDERFUL JOURNEY IN MY YOGA . THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING . NEELALOSHINI

I have never met the teachers like Master Raja, Rajadurai and Prakash. I enjoy every moments of the lessons that they taught! They are extremely good at teaching practicals and also theory. I am surprised that how the masters approach for one asana, and how they explained the alignments of asana. The knowledge is very useful for either self practice or teaching. Moreover, I like the pranayama's part too. I learnt a lot and will definitely practice it every day. The school that I went before never focus on pranayama(though they did teach some of pranayama). Therefore, the experience is totally new for me. All in all, thanks everyone in the school. Thanks for your patience. Thanks for your instructions. All the teachers here are so experienced, skilful and knowledgable! I wish to meet you all again.

Extremely knowledgable teachers. Respectful environment. Great teaching. Highly recommended!

I was really excited to come back to Level 3 training and reconnect with classmates in Anahata community. The practices are so powerful and fun and transformative, but mostly I love being in lectures with Yogananth. He is hilarious and at the same time transmitting such profound and intelligent information. I appreciate all the details and patience Yogananth attends in order to create such a potent experience for everyone. Namaste

I started practicing yoga since 2010 for pursuing a healthy body. And eventually I realized yoga brings me not only the healthy body but also a simple life style, a peaceful mind and changed me into a better person. These 3 levels Advanced Hatha YTT were amazing. I learned much more than I expected. How lucky I am to have all those great masters to teach and help me in my yoga journey. Namaste

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

ENJOYED THE KRIYA PART OF THE COURSE. ALSO WAS A SMALL GROUP AND WITH INCREASED FLEXIBILITY OF BODY IT WAS MORE SATISFYING. PARTNER YOGA WAS A NEW DIMENSION OF THIS COURSE WHICH I ENJOYED.
