Enrolling into Yogavatar 200 hour TTC was definitely the best choice that I’ve ever made. I’ve gained so much from the 10 weekends course, having better understanding of what is yoga and feeling inspired and confident after completion. They also offer flexible learning via physical class, online in real time and recorded video, which is also a plus point for me. I could see the effort, love and unconditional sharing of both teachers put into their teachings laying out foundations and necessary knowledge for our yoga practice and ready for future teaching journey. I am so grateful to them and most definitely recommend this course to whoever wanting to pursue teaching in yoga or simply deepening their yoga practice. ~By: Anne Wong

I truly recommend YOGAVATAR® 200-hour yoga teacher training programme to anyone who wish to kick-start their journey of becoming a yoga teacher. Thanks to the dedicated teaching and support from my instructors iRyne and R2, the programme has been a transformative one. I was a person with much self-doubt and did not intend to teach yoga initially. Nevertheless, I have gradually gained my confidence through the training programme by discovering that I am able to do some yoga poses that were challenging at first with correct techniques and consistent practices as well as learn more about yoga where the scope is beyond asana practices. Now, I am becoming a more resilient and courageous person to go out and share yoga practices in a correct and safe way with others. The things that I am really appreciate for are the video recordings, detailed manual and resources provided by YOGAVATAR® that serve as a life-long guidance for my yoga practice improvement and also yoga teaching after the training programme ended. In short, I am very satisfied with the service provided by YOGAVATAR® in which the value is worth way more than its cost. ~By: Rhea Teoh Zing Yeat

When I decided to take this course, it wasn’t about going to teach but to understand myself more. But both lead teachers Iryne & R2 has inspired me so much throughout the 200hrs TTC, and all I wanna do now is to explore & inspire. No words can describe how thankful I am to both of them.

iRyne and R2 are amazing instructors and a dynamic pair. I loved that the course offered a deep understanding of 3 styles of yoga: classical hatha, vinyasa flow, and restorative yin. After talking to other yogis about their teacher training, I think this is a very thorough course that has made me confident in all 8 limbs of yoga – not just asana. ~Vanessa Jane Weber (USA)

An unforgotten training experience! I came all the way from Egypt to Malaysia, especially for this beautiful school. My friends told me I am crazy, everyone goes to India to their YTT. But I did like the idea of following everyone. I kept coming back to this school every time I browse schools in the directory, I loved the idea of two beautiful women, founded Yoga school and run it by themselves. it’s not common, most yoga schools -like all businesses- are dominated and managed by men. Part of me wanted to support these women, and contribute to their success. They are an inspiration to me and other women. I wanted three simple things: a school that is not crowded with students so that I can get the best learning, one that I can afford, and one that feels right in my heart. YOGAVATAR was everything I wanted and much more. YOGAVATAR goes beyond it ways to provide the perfect learning experience to its students. We covered thoroughly all the aspects of Yoga, from Asana, Pranayama, through anatomy, and to philosophy and teaching techniques. Our teachers were there for us with every Asana we learn or struggle with. Every breathing exercise or teaching technique we practiced was carefully observed and we got instant feedback on everything we did. The patch was in perfect size. We were able to communicate all the time, be assisted whenever help is needed, and receive the training in a perfect environment. Our teachers provided the best care possible in the class and beyond. They looked after our aches, our emotional distress, and provided us with unseen kindness and guidance all the way every day. This beautiful school is about learning and making a difference in other people’s life, it’s not about making huge profits. They offered us free help in marketing ourselves as teachers, providing the space for us whenever we need to practice or give a class, and invited us to come again for learning whenever we want. A truly open place, with wide open hearts. ~Sha Hafez  (Egypt)

I would highly recommend people to choose Yogavatar, in fact, I have already shared Yogavatar’s contact with two of my friends who are interested in undertaking the yoga TTC. I truly believe they have prepared me well for Yoga teacher jobs out there. The teachers are amazing, dedicated and friendly… The energy there, in Yoga teacher training school, is just so uplifting and inspiring. 11/10 stars to Yogavatar and I am forever grateful for the knowledge I have received and will honor that by learning more and continuing my yogic endeavors to deepen my understanding of yoga in the future. ~Cosette Hoe  (Malaysia)

The TTC I attended was simply amazing, thanks to the two primary instructors, Iryne and R2 who were extremely nurturing, supportive and inspiring throughout the entire duration. Getting up in mornings was definitely a challenge but in return, I felt enhanced strength, renewed confidence and flatter abs after the training! The curriculum and text book were meticulously designed, spanning traditional yoga right through to new age yoga, which involved a skill in creative sequencing. It catered to new yoginis like me and allowed me to deepen my practice and enabled the magic of yoga to continue after the course, not forgetting the encouragement from my fellow yogini classmates! ~Love, Erin Lim (Malaysia)

Dearest R2 & iRyne, thank you so much for everything in this past 4 weeks. Amazing journey! I am grateful and thankful to both of you, initiated this move with courage & dreams. Both of you did so well & informative, this is my best training ever. In this course, I learnt so much from all the trainers, especially both of you. In knowledge wise, philosophy wise & technical wise, all covered. Beside that, inwardly in my character changed and personal growth, I benefited a lot too. I think because of how 4 of you, the trainers constantly encourage and inspired us to try our best, the encouragements and assurances mean a lot to me as a newbie in yoga. You also traveled the extra miles, beside the teachers and students relationship, we felt sincere love from all 4 of you. This important element had helped us to love the rest of the people in the class despite the differences. In this period of time, I don’t only learn to teach I also learnt to love myself and other people better. I will never forget this in the module, “where there is existence of iSpirit there is love”. I think this is much more meaningful than many things else in the world. Personally, yoga and I was never a friend, first encounter was in 2006 and that’s all. Until 2014 first class with R2, is un-intentionally and blindly enter her class, this is only yoga and I begin our journey. Finally yoga and I are united, thanks a lot to both of you for this beautiful journey. Continue make the world of 2 of you a better place. Keep up the good work, look forward to see more from both of your facebook. Will always pray for both of you cheer! ~ Love, JOANNE LIM (Malaysia)
