Anahata Yoga is a premiere yoga centre 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 centre, 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. We recognise 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 centres 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 gives students more in-depth learning than they may be able to find elsewhere in Hong Kong.

    The course provides me with deep insight into Yoga history, anatomy, asana, and pranayama techniques. It also enhances my awareness of the body alignment of fundamental yoga poses, and the correct approach of entering a pose. The masters are all professional and knowledgeable. I enjoy the lectures and also group practices a lot.

    Overall the study materials and the tutors are good, it would be perfect if the course could learn more hand adjustment.

    Having my second YYT training at the International Yoga Academy, they have once again provided more insights and depth towards my yoga practice and addition perspective towards yoga through yoga therapy. Teachers were always welcoming and explained in detailed about the different branches of yoga and how Ayurveda can enrich the positive effects of yoga.

    I had a truly comprehensive and challenging experience during the yoga therapy course. The masters were highly professional and extremely knowledgeable, providing excellent guidance. The course struck a great balance between practical and theoretical aspects, allowing me to delve deeper into the subject matter. While the anatomy section proved to be the most difficult, I took the initiative to create my own notes and even purchased a textbook to enhance my understanding. Master Dilip shared valuable insights into yoga therapy poses, drawing from his own experiences with injuries and treatments. There were occasional clarifications on therapy poses towards the end of class, which was helpful. Master Vishnu patiently addressed our questions and provided repeated explanations, ensuring a thorough understanding of concepts, including the stimulation of the vagus nerve for activating the parasympathetic system. The practical sessions, such as oil massage and other treatments, were enjoyable and offered practical skills. I am committed to reviewing and studying the materials again over the next 6-12 months, as the knowledge gained will greatly benefit my personal yoga journey and potentially my teaching as well. I eagerly look forward to Anahata offering an Advanced Yoga course in the future.
