Yoga Teacher Training Participants

I had taken and taught yoga-based classes for a few years before enrolling in Yoga Mala’s 200 hour teacher training program. Before the training, I always felt that I was lacking in my understanding of yogic philosophy, postures and human physiology. I wanted to improve my own technique and ability to instruct and at the beginning of the course, I felt that this was only possible through a lot of physical practice. However, as we progressed through the four weeks, I found the course to be a great blend of theory and practice.

Our trainer Rajesh emphasized the importance of developing body awareness as the key to becoming a good teacher and yogi and this has been my biggest take-away from the course. The training also taught me how to develop effective class sequences, deliver clear instructions and modify poses as per the needs of class participants.

In addition, Yoga Mala also offers practical teaching experience to trainees which have played an instrumental role in enabling me to develop my teaching skills.

Sobia Nusrat

The course is mentally, physically and emotionally challenging. It’s an information packed course and answers most of the questions that I used to have when I attended yoga classes and wondered about the flow of asanas.

The instructors are well informed and explanations are clear. When there’s doubt, we had discussions to clarify the questions. We’re encouraged to go away and pondered about our questions if we’re unsatisfied with given answers and discussed them again the next day.

Personally, I learnt yoga is more than just asana. It’s a way of life and asana is just a small part of yoga. I learnt about the different types of pranayama which allows me to be better in charge of my health.  The course gives me the confidence to conduct my own practice without the fear of hurting myself.

So, thank you, Rajesh, for your kind instructions.
