Contents of the course are very in depth and authentic. The course was elaborative and very satisfying. I really enjoyed my yicc course under vyasa singapore. I thank manoj sir and shivani mam for making us feel like a yoga family.teacher’s delivery of the programme was fantastically done. Very clear and detailed instructions of each topic. Teachers supported us very much in all aspects of learning and helped us to clear our concepts beit practical or theory. Adminstration of vyasa yoga is very well managed. Overall a good and supportive experience in terms of management.

My overall experience in vyasa singapore was eye opening. It wouldn’t be an exaggerate to say that no instuition in singapore delivers such a wide and authentic syllabus in yicc. Unlike other commercial organisations that only focus on asanas, vyasa teaches us real meaning of yoga that everyone can implement in life and get mesmerising results. At vyasa, we came to know that yoga is not just twisting and bending but in real terms it has more to do with internal peace and happiness and find our ultimate goal. Looking forward to pass on this precious knowledge to the needy people and expand my horizons in yoga journey.

FARIDHA CHYNTIYA DEWI, BATCH-278 (2019)

Content delivery was systematic. What i enjoyed the most were the ancedontal examples and life advice given by Guru Manoj. Overall administration has been commendable. Lectures by Guru Manoj ji on yoga philosiphy has been especially enlightening. Madam Shivani’s practical yoga lessons were fundamental yet crucial for our growth as yoga practionerers. YICC has given me a paradigm shift and this serves as a solid foundation.Thanks to Vyasa Singapore Team.

Content is excellent and the coverage is good enough to take yoga to another level. Manoj ji’s class was enjoyable and the philosophies are helpful for life.

I wish to join every such event in future. Individual attention was paid to every student which is really remarkable. I wish to be a part of Vyasa for my entire life.

Please make SVYASA visit as compulsory for all YICC students so that they will understand what is happening in the HQ and how effective yoga therapy is.

CATHERINE BONG-BATCH 271D (2019)

Good mix of practical and theory allows students to have a good foundation in the asanas as well as gain a holistic understanding of the discipline. Manoj Sir is a charismatic teacher and makes the densely packed theory part of the programme more easy to absorb. Shivani Mam has high standards and this ensures that everybody tries their best.

I found the YICC experience to be quite enriching and that confidence and mastery of the asanas is a necessary outcome of this course. I am very happy doing this YICC program.

LIOW YUNMIN, BATCH 278 (2019)

The overall experience has been very meaningful. It met my goal of understanding more about yoga and how to do asanas properly. I enjoyed every session although theory was sometimes long, The class was intimate and comfortable. I feel still that there is so much to learn. The content was good and very holistic as expected.

RUTH MIRASOL, BATCH 281 (2019)

The content is vast enough for beginners like me. Postures were comfortable to do. Teacher’s instructions are full of knowledge, able to clarify the doubt. They are helpful and encouraging. The overall administrations is well organized and helpful. Some topics were quickly teached –Backpain. Can add Knee pain too which is quite common. Would be helpful if anatomy is also added.

SMITA SHARMA-BATCH 271D(2019)

It is a good balance of theory and memory to engage both our body and mind to get connected with yoga. Teachers are very knowledgable and passionate. I joined YICC not to become a yoga teacher but to have a deep insight of the Yoga. I feel very happy and positive after each class. The course has changed me as a person .

ZHU SIJING , BATCH-268 (2019)

YICC is covering many aspects of the topic from concept, history to all of the yoga knowledge. Manoj ji is full of knowledge sharing on yoga. Madam Shivani is very practical. I have gained a lot of knowledge and deepen my understanding of yoga. My confidence level has raised up after attending YICC.

LIM YOKE LENG,BATCH- 280 (2019)

YICC content is fine but its better to have more practice. Theory is very much more than i expected this course. But theory was also nice part of the programme so i could learn about it well. Theory is new world to me . ^v^
The teacher delivery of the programme is very nice and learned a lot! New thought i didn’t realize. The administrative is good overall. I want have more practice programme during the course but i know there are 30 hours after the course but i expected more practice for the course. Overall experience, I could know about detailed information and posture. Vanaja was always good help and let us know about the posture very well. She corrected the minor mistake of our posture. Thank to her and Roxsanne teachers, Manoj and Shivani. Wonders teaching and kind so much. Thanks a lot.

JEONG SUNG HEE ( VERONICA)-BATCH 271D (2019)

It was a great experience. The course fully met my expectations. Traditional somewhat spiritual and non commercial. I also enjoyed the outing to Botanical Gardens. The simple and subtle teaching techniques are so useful in engaging all types of groups even kids. The content is comprehensive. Enjoyed thoroughly.

KRIS LEE, BATCH- 281 (2019)

I enjoyed the course very much. Overall, I thought we would have focused more on the asanas but just have one instructor teaching. I found there were too many instructions in the room at the beginning. I thought Manoj delivered a very interesting program. And Roxanne & Vanaja did a great job of guiding us through the four weeks of training. The administration is extremely efficient. For improvements, perhaps another class with Kuldeep. I have loved doing this course and feel my overall understanding of the yoga has improved dramatically! Thanking Manoj, Roxanne and Vanaja!!

LIZ MANCHEE-BATCH 271D (2019)

The YICC Content is Thorough, Systematic, informative, all I need to know. The Teachers Delivery is very lively, interesting. Can relate very well. The overall administration is straight forward, easy and clear cut. Administrators are very helpful and prompt. For the improvements, san update contents, especially the spiral notebook. Asana diagrams and written steps are often opposite and confusing. File notes can provide more explanation/description, currently too simple and few words.

Overall experience, great classroom environment. Good support from teachers and seniors(From earlier batch). Good teamwork from classmate. Good supply of teas, coffees and snacks. Felt well taken care of. Thank you.

LEE SIEN FEN-BATCH 270(2019)

I feel a different person after these 80 hours of YICC course. The content seems appropriate for 80 hours. I dont think anyone can explain better than Manoj ji. The administration is very organised and comfortably flexible at the same time. 3 sessions from Manoj Sir take you in a completely different space- so deep into the science yoga. Shivani madam is an expert in poses and asanas. All the others Shreyas, Kuldeep,Roxanne have added so much positivity to the entire experience.

RADHIKA MEHTA, BATCH- 280 (2019)

I find the content very knowledgeable and helpful as far as health concern. Have comprehensive knowledge about yoga posture. Teacher’s delivery of the programme is clear well narrated. Given ample of time to assimilate the concept and always get the chance to check out doubts. Overall administration, they are helpful and providing all support to overcome the problems regarding attending the class or any other problem. It is well organised. It is always good to update so i feel if the centre can incorporate the few more yoga and postures. Would be more appreciated if get more style and forms of postures by increasing few more days of course. I really appreciate the way centre in helping each student to be perfect in yoga. Looking forwarded to get updated in coming days about yoga postures in our 120 hours. I should joined bit early this awesome centre.

NEELAM SINGH-BATCH 271D(2019)

The content of YICC is nourishing, enriching, very educations, develops self-confidence, helps to discover personal hidden potential, brings peace of mind and develops all-over personality. The teacher’s delivery of the programme is excellent and highly professional. The overall administrative of Vyasa Yoga is very good.

TATYANA STEPANOVA-BATCH 267(2019)

The YICC content is very great and very details about Yoga. I learned a lot from this YICC class about postures, cleansing, theory etc. Teacher Manoj is a very good and excellent teacher. Vanaja is friendly and good teacher too. Roxsane is friendly, good and guide the class very well. Teacher Shivani is good teacher and friendly too. Teacher Kuldeep is very wonderful teacher too. The overall administration is good and excellent in handling question from student. They are very friendly and willing to help. Cleanliness have to be improve. Many ants on the floor and wall. I found this YICC class is very interesting and I can learn a lot about Yoga. I’ve zero knowledge about Yoga. After 1 month in YICC class i learn a lot about theory & yoga practical. I start to love Yoga. Theory part I love the most topic is the basic of Happiness. I like Sun Salutation for overall yoga because it’s included a dew postures in Sun salutation. I love and like all the teachers, admin staff and classmates. I’m grateful to have this good opportunity to join in YICC class. I’ll recommend to friend. Thank you.

LUM MOOI SUET (WINNY)-BATCH 271D (2019)

Found the YICC content from online. The teacher’s delivery and the overall administration is good. If it’s convenient, could Vyasa yoga arrange more activity to help students? Like outdoor yoga. Since three years ago, I went to gym to do yoga but after three years, i didn’t understand the main concept meaning about yoga, only doing posture. I think many people are the same thing as me “Yoga is exercise. Yoga can bring S-shape for you” but after i attended Vyasa yoga. I knew the concept of yoga and meditation. It is not exercise. It will increase your mental energy level. It will let your inner space more stronger. Yoga will be one part of my life.

YUAN WENXIN-BATCH 271D(2019)

“The content of the program is very appropriate, and the delivery is also good. Manoj ji made sure we understood the topics fully. For better effect and understanding of the whole course, having Pranayama and Kriya early in the sequence of topics is what I would recommend. Some philosophies are complex and need more references for better understanding. The course has been helpful to know where I was and what changes in me. With this awareness my sleep is deeper, and breathing is longer than before. I have made friends with common interest. I wish I was able to observe more of my spiritual changes.

LINDA KAMAE-BATCH 260D (2018)

Found the YICC content through friends. The course content is well structured. The teacher’s delivery is clear with good example. Both Manoj and Prashant are v. knowledgeable. The overall administrative is very informative and prompt replies. Course have been really fruitful. I came here with an open mind and I’ve learned so much now course had ended. You know an experience is life-changing when you can still feel it in your bones after it has ended. The course is exactly it.

MAEVE-BATCH 271D(2019)

I like it very much. Extremely good background to philosophy, history and schools of yoga. Opened my mind to practices I would not have tried. I learnt a huge amount. The teachers are very knowledgeable, good delivery, warm, kind, funny, ensures students understand and usually taught form the heart. Also, a good level of discipline so that we feel relaxed but kept on track with good authority. Good pace.
Great team! Great we of whats app groups. Keep informed. Questions always answered promptly and efficiently. Only suggestion is made time for demonstration and feedback for each other.
For example, when we learnt the 8 steps techniques we are not talking and describing enough in time. So i would like the teachers to give more input into what we do well and what we could improve on, and encourage our peers to tell us the practical exam. I would like feedback on.
I began the course with a good understanding of many different Asanas but the some aspects were lacking that is what I wanted to learn it gave me that and much more. I wanted to incorporate yoga into my daily life and now i do. Even if it is just the same breathing exercises, I find the time. I am much more aware of my body and my mind and how to control more to benefit my general health. I have observed many changes and I am looking forward to continuing absorb these changes as i develop as a practice. My son told me yesterday that i have now became like into his football! That i only really want to do talk yoga and its true! I have to be mindful of this obsession! I will keep you informed of these changes.

SUSAN EASTON – BATCH 260D (2018)

“I feel YICC at Vyasa Yoga is structured and comprehensive. Manoj ji is very knowledgeable and clear in delivering the theories/concepts. Even the ones which are very difficult concepts, he gives good, interesting examples to ensure student understand the topic well. All the teachers are very patient and give clear, concise and precise instructions to the students; be it theory or practical. The course provides detailed step by step guide that help students in the learning. Vyasa Yoga allows flexibility in course timing to cater to the needs of the student. The environment of Vyasa Yoga Centre is beautiful and conducive for Yoga practice. The classes are relaxing and fun, which would not have been possible without the participation of the teachers, assistants, and classmates. The assignments, reports, presentation and written exam that are part of course, help students to deepen their understanding. I enjoyed this journey. So happy to have signed up for the YICC and being a part of Vyasa family. Thanks to Manoj, Shivani, Kuldeep, all the assistant teachers and batchmates for creating such a wonderful experience!

WONG LIH CHYUN-BATCH 258E (2018)

Find the YICC content on expat magazine. The teacher’s delivery is understandable, they make it easy for everyone to understand. Overall administration, it was a great journey. It can be more professional. It can be challenging

NIKKO ETEMADIAN-BATCH 271D(2019)

YICC at Vyasa Yoga is broad and more than what we expected. At first the pace of the programme was very slow starting with breathing & joints loosening. We took turn to master these practices. At first these seemed awkwardly slow, however, I think this is where I was transformed. The idea is, you need to do just one thing well, and that is brilliant. Admin is friendly and relaxing. Only thing I would like the staff to be more connected to students. Sitting on the ground was a bit uncomfortable but we can change positions and drink water, coffee. So, it was all fine. It is very kind to keep snacks and tea, coffee for us to consume?.

The entire experience was a process of transformation. It was challenge and it took time and patience. The transforming of an inner self is never a comfortable one, I fight myself every day. Now I have started to apply Yoga into my lifestyle and it also helps me with my teaching in dancing. At first you will want to show people that you can do Yoga pose and teach. In the end, I learn when I am good, I won’t be in rush to show what I can do. I’ll be calm and chilling instead. It you have the light, you shall shine naturally!

CHENG HSIA YUN, THERESA-BATCH269D(2019)

“At YICC I learned that Yoga is not only Asana, but Asana can drive me deep into life energy. The practice of Yoga also helps in knowing what is important in life. As I study more, I can see benefits of Yoga in many ways. I already was practising Yoga before I joined YICC at Vyasa and knew that my body & mind could be refreshed by Yoga. But What I did was still an exercise only! Now I understand well that Yoga is a way of life. I am happy that I met wonderful teachers, batchmate as friends here at school. I hope to continue my Yoga Journey!

YUMI JODAI- BATCH 253E (2018)

The content is suitable for fresh yoga beginner to follow through. Additional information could be added in such as why a person cannot do certain postures due to certain symptoms, he/she is having and the counter pose to it. The teacher demonstrated his knowledge on the asanas but theory portion could have been more informative than what can be found on the notes. The contents in the textbook can be more detailed. The addition workshop for Injuries and Prevention that I signed up is very useful and informative. Overall the course is informative or beginner yoga instructors. However more contents and information in the notes will be better. The school did a great job but administrative process can be improved tremulously. The yoga instructors and staffs are always very helpful.

JOANNE SNG- BATCH 240 (2014)

“YICC at Vyasa is just appropriate for beginners as well as for people who have been practicing Yoga. It gives clear Knowledge of Yoga.
Teachers are excellent. Manoj ji’s lectures are very informative and full of knowledge. Shivani ji and Kuldeep are great as teacher. They explained and taught us everything in detail.
I am happy that I finally could join this excellent course. I had wonderful batchmates with whom I enjoyed this journey thoroughly. The course has expanded my knowledge and I can now understand Yoga from different angles. The experience was great, and I look forward to continuing this journey and enjoy more!

KALYANI MALUSARE (NEHA)- BATCH 263D (2018)

I find the content very interesting and serious. It is so important part of the object Yoga, that I now know about. The whole lifestyle, way of living.

The teachers are so passionated and dedicated, and so authentic. They are not just telling about yoga, they are yoga.

The administration have been so so so helpful to me. They reply so fast, are smiling and they made me feel at home, so fast. They show their personality.

My journey have been amazing. I feel that this info will be life changing for me. This course have opened so many new doors, that i am curious about knowing more about. I think this course is just the beginning of something which will follow me the rest of my life.

PERNILLE JUL RASMUSSEN-BATCH 270(2019)

The YICC content is very broad and touching many topics, some of them going deeper, some giving a good overview. Whether it was theory by Manoj, practice with Shivani and Kuldeep, all give a certain way to transmit Yoga and inspiration for my future yoga teaching. They provide good tips and share their knowledge with us. They are supported very well by other assistant teachers. I would like to suggest some modifications in the notes to go along with the text book regarding asanas. It would also be great to have detailed discussion on the 120 hrs report and work sheets, assignments etc. Even if all these things are mentioned to us, we tend to lose track on that considering the amount of information we receive within a month! Administration is efficient from registration to class organization to maintenance of the classrooms. Overall it was great learning experience. Received a lot of knowledge on a wide range of topics. It was good immersion into Yoga, the concepts, definitions, practices. I learned a lot about myself during this course. I can balance my emotions. Thanks everyone for the great support.!

EMMANUELLE CASADO- 268D (2018)

“I loved the philosophy of Yoga covered in YICC. You feel at home when you are at Vyasa Yoga. This friendly, cosy atmosphere makes YICC so much effective place of learning! Each teacher has unique point to make. These different approaches give extra dimension which is good to get thorough understanding of the topic.
The administration was quick in response and the information given was clear. Truly appreciate it.
Only thing I wish that we were given a monthly or weekly schedule which would have made time planning easier for us.
I am quite satisfied with the program for the 80hrs classroom training and I believe that Vyasa’s teachers and staff will help me achieve my 120 hrs towards field work.
I have faith in Vyasa school as it is an established entity and always supports students in any kind of situation.
I really enjoyed each class. Teachers are so interesting that gives me motivation. Thank you very much!

EMIKO KATAOKA- BATCH 263D (2018)

The content of YICC is enough and interesting. At least now I understand more on the philosophy of Yoga. The teachers are good and clear in instructions and teaching. They are very supportive.

CATHERINE CHIA LEE HOON-BATCH 269D (2019)

“YICC program is complete. Philosophy of Yoga is interesting to learn. You learn from knowledgeable teachers. Extremely good quality of teaching practical. Just that I struggled with 8 step method and would have liked more simpler method for teaching asana.

PATRICIA SERKUMIAN-BATCH 260D (2018)

“YICC at Vyasa is extremely good as the syllabus has background of philosophy, history and schools of Yoga. I learnt a huge amount and it has opened my mind to Yoga practice. The teachers are very knowledgeable, warm and kind; ensuring that students understand. The pace of training is good, and the level of discipline is maintained with remarkable authority. The students feel relaxed yet on track. The admin team is great. They make good use of WhatsApp groups to keep students well informed. Questions are always answered promptly and efficiently.
I wish we had more time for demonstration. I began the course with a good understanding of asanas. I needed to learn the other aspects which were lacking in my practice. This course gave me mat and much more. Now I can incorporate Yoga into my daily life. I am becoming more aware of my body and my mind with routine practice. I know how to perform it to benefit my general health. I have observed many changes and will continue to do so as I practice more and more.

SUSAN EASTON-BATCH 260D (2018)

“YICC content is very thorough given the short time of course. It covers lot many topics. Master Manoj ji always makes learning very interesting with real life anecdotes, funny stories and his own experiences. Shivani ji goes into details of techniques for learning postures and other practical topics. Kuldeep ji is very good in both theory & practice. He gives extra information which is beyond the scope. Administration is very helpful and efficient.
I wish to have learnt some more postures in the course which will be useful when I start to teach.
In all it has been a wonderful experience. Vyasa I s like one big family. I got to meet so many wonderful people like my batchmates and teachers. The best part is that this relationship does not end after 4 weeks’ classroom training. You can keep coming here for classes. Each class allows us to learn so much more.

KHUSHBOO JHUNJHUNWALA, BATCH 261D (2018)

“I have found YICC program very interesting where I learnt a lot of new information. The teachers were knowledgeable, approachable and encouraging. The administration was friendly. The whole experience was refreshing, enjoyable and interesting. Very nice environment with friendly people around!

JELSI LORATO-BATCH 260D (2018)

“Content of YICC was very helpful, mostly everything was covered very nicely. I felt interested and motivated towards Yoga practice. All the teachers were great! Manoj ji explained the topics accurately and till we could properly understand it. Shivani ji also corrected the postures and guided us throughout. Admin staff is very helpful, and kind hearted. We were reminded of the sessions and schedule time to time. Our doubts were cleared. I had fun learning at Vyasa as everything was done systematically. I felt energetic and motivated to do Yoga. I really look forward to learning more from Vyasa courses.

MANALI SHAH-BATCH 260D (2018)

“YICC at Vyasa Yoga is very much useful. I learned a lot about Yoga. The 80 hrs were excellent, and I acquired great knowledge on Yoga theory. I also feel good changes in my physical body. I am more flexible and there is greater awareness. All is good. It would be better if time management can be improved.

HUANG SHANSHAN-BATCH 263D (2018)

“YICC content is interesting in terms of philosophy. In respect of anatomy I expected in depth syllabus. All the teachers were good in Yoga knowledge by their own way and were able to hold my attention throughout the course. The admin staff is generally very pleasant and try to be helpful. I feel that some procedures need improvement.
I have become more passionate and inclined to follow the path of Yoga. I wish to help others on this path too.
As I apply the principles and perform Yoga asanas, I feel I am improving, and my family members are also benefiting.
By participating in International Day of Yoga activities I learned a lot and feel more committed towards spreading this knowledge to my friends and others in communities.

JACQUELINE CHONG- BATCH 261D (2018)

“Content of YICC is extensive and insightful. Course structure is systematic, easy to follow, good to use to teach Yoga for beginners and even advance students. 8 step teaching method helps to correct posture and clear doubts which other external Yoga class does not provide. Manoj gives examples, analogy for more abstract theory, tries to use simple words to let us understand better. Shivani is very patient in demonstrating asanas. She corrects us and clears our doubts with patience. This YICC course is too short to fully understand what Yoga is. Hope that Vyasa will organize a 3D/2N Yoga Retreat in future.
Due to the stressful work nature, I have looked up on Yoga as a destressing tool. I have used asanas during pregnancy to reduce discomfort and back pain. I wanted to escape the stressful lifestyle and embrace Yoga. Thus, I began to search for courses online and found Vyasa Yoga’s YICC. I have realised that Yoga is the way I have been searching for. It is not an exercise, but a way to enlightenment. I know this journey is not easy and with guidance of Guru, courage and fearless attitude, I decided to embark on this spiritual journey.

AUDREY SEE-BATCH 258E (2018)

“YICC course was very complete and allowed us to learn aspects of Yoga that were new, Pranayama & Kriyas. The teachers at Vyasa Yoga are wonderful. I enjoyed all the classes of Manoj, Shivani, Kuldeep and Ruchica. The delivery was fun and inspiring as well. The administration was flawless.
I would have liked to have more time for the second set of Asanas which Kuldeep did his best in given time. The course went very well; in fact, beyond my expectations. My wish to get a comprehensive overview on Yoga was fulfilled. Although there is still so much to learn, I feel at least I have full picture of the main components of Yoga.
At the course I also met with a group of wonderful people, that I look forward to deepening my practice with.

NATACHA WEXELS-RISER- BATCH 263D (2018)

“I found the content of this course to be fantastic. All teachers are amazing, and they have different styles of delivery. Being a small group of students gave us great opportunity to ask lot of questions and understand the topics more. Overall administration was very organized, and the staff was quick in responding and giving information. I felt our course was a bit rushed. It was most likely due to two public holidays and International Yoga Day/ week.
I enjoyed this course a lot. I learned more than I thought I will. It was very good to be part of International Yoga Day and to observe all the activities. I am very proud to be part of Vyasa Yoga.

VIVEK SHARMA – BATCH 255 (2018)

“I loved the way we were greeted on the first day of the course with Vyasa Yoga tote bag which carried text book and notebook. I could see how much Mr. Manoj cared for students. He is always helpful and gave us interesting stories apart from class contents. He held outing on Deepavali day even if it was special day for him. Teachers taught us in understandable way. I am confident now that I have learnt real authentic Yoga at Vyasa Yoga. I wish much more clear translation for Japanese batch. But still Ms. Emiko is amazing and helped us a lot. Admin staff also is friendly and always smiling. It is so kind of them to keep stock of biscuits, tea, coffee at the classrooms.

AYA COX- BATCH 264, JYICC (2018)

“YICC was interesting. Different topics were covered. Great teachers and their perspectives and delivery was much appreciative. The administration was very supportive and kept communication in group which made it easy for us too.
I wish for a better time management at the beginning of the course; as we had to really speed up for the last week. If possible, make the outing for a full day + 1 night to enjoy even more.
Overall it was a great experience and our group of classmates was amazing and friendly. The outing allowed us to know each other more and become real Yogi friends. Teachers highly encouraged solidarity in our group of classmates. It was more than just a Yoga Teacher Training. The whole journey and the process of learning was so enjoyable!

MARJORIE BOCQUILLON-BATCH 263(2018)

“The content of YICC was very useful, very informative and a great lessons program. The teachers are very nice and helpful, they thought about us. Their teaching is very informative. I like how we can be relaxed and have a flexible schedule, no stress, to come in the centre. It was very interesting to come here every day for the past month. I liked how we bonded with each other and became a group of friends and learnt together. The teachers were very flexible with us, not putting too much pressure on us and it was pleasant to be in the class and everyday looking forward to coming to the centre.

ANONYMOUS – 2018

“YICC is an excellent course. Manoj is really knowledgeable, and I appreciate his honest and authentic sharing. Shivani is also very well-versed in all postures and teaches them well with many subtle points. Kuldeep is also very experienced and able to guide us with good pointers.
Admin staff is always helpful. I am truly glad I chose to take YICC at Vyasa. Location is great, people are lovely. I like my classmates too. Content of the course is scientifically backed. I definitely feel that I have learnt and benefited from the Course.

EUNICE LEOW-BATCH 263D (2018)

“YICC was certainly relevant. I have found it very compressed and look forward to deepening the knowledge and experiencing it thoroughly. All teachers are very experienced and have a lot of knowledge to share. I would appreciate a summary of the training plan for the month in advance.
As I had just recovered from a kidney infection, I felt the training quite taxing physically. I might have underestimated the strain this intense Yoga will have on my body. Regarding the theory learnt, I am confident & look forward to deepening my knowledge.
All in all, it felt very rushed through and I found it hard to put in the required effort due to my health. I wonder if I can be healed by Yoga practice and so looking forward to process all that information and experience it for myself and with students.

ELIANE BOVING-263D (2018)

“I like the discussions on the history and philosophy of yoga. The while program gives a comprehensive framework for learning yoga. The teachers are all very knowledgeable and friendly. They give constructive feedback on asanas and own teaching methods. The administration process was smooth, the office was very supportive by sending information and reminders. I enjoyed the course very much. Every weekend I looked forward to seeing my classmates and practice yoga together. There are a lot of practices I need to further explore on myself. All in all, YICC as been a good start of my yoga journey.

ZHANG SIYAO – BATCH 255 (2018)

“The content of the YICC course was comprehensive and helped deepen my understanding. The teachers were knowledgeable and approachable. My experience was wonderful, insightful and enjoyable. Thank you!

CHERMAIN WONG – BATCH 255 (2018)

“On internet I found very good reviews on Vyasa Yoga.
YICC was excellent and easy to understand. Yoga Asana demonstrations were very helpful in learn. It was interesting to know about the theory of postures.
I wish we had the soft copies of the same slides from the physical folder which was given to us during training.
All Instructors were very helping and always ready to clarify our doubts. I feel lucky to have gained lovely friends during my YICC.

ACHALA SRIVASTAVA-BATCH 263D (2018)

HUINSHAN LUO – BATCH 255 (2018)

“Contents are good.more on Ayurveda please ! loved-cyclic meditation,DRT,the guest lectures (Kuldeep and Prashant) added variety to the course .like the fact that manoj sir helps accommodate or schedule if we cant make it for class he arrange different class
I learnt how to relax !

LAKSHMI GANESAN BATCH -247 (2017)

“YICC was authentic and the content was meaningful. Master Manoj was quite inspiring, and one could sense his passion and devotion towards Yoga. He himself is a role model as a trainer and very much grounded in the class which is very important. Shivani was very meticulous and able to suggest modifications knowing the body type. Ruchica & Kuldeep were fantastic and always encouraged us. They gave valuable advice in the practice and asked us to respect our body limitations. Valeria had great energy and was ever willing to answer our questions.
For me, YICC was quite humbling and inspiring. The seed of growth is planted and the sense of inquiry also kind of initiated. I am grateful for the confidence given to us from the very first day of zero knowledge on Yoga to 30 days of training where awareness is built to great extent.
I believe that people meet for a reason and I am so happy and thankful for the safe and conducive leaning space offered at Vyasa Yoga. Journey has started.

KAITHRI- BATCH 263D (2018)

“The sessions were basic, informational and enjoyable. It would be great if the videos are included for all steps for each Asana. The administration was awesome and prompt in addressing queries.

 
ANONYMOUS-BATCH 261D (2018)

“Yicc contents are very good . teachers are very friendly and good .
I feel very happy everytime I come here the theatrical classes were very good too and I understand much better now what is yoga and all the topics linked with yoga like meditation anatomy naturotherapy Ayurveda pranayama etc thank you very much to master manoj mrs Shivani mr Prashant dr Kuldeep to gave me good advices to improve my flexibility I wish you all the best to all of you for the future

KLINSUKON BLAU BATCH -250 (2017)

“Content of YICC is very informative and engaging. The course delivery is very well done, and teachers are very knowledgeable. I joined the course to learn about Yoga, but I learnt more on life. It was a good experience.

DENISE BOEY- BATCH 261D (2018)

“The content of YICC was better than expected. It opened a whole new level of understanding about the philosophy and psychological, mental and spiritual outcomes and how we can manage our lives, grow, heal and teach. A very nice summary of deep subjects which also allows for further research. The experience with the teachers made it for me. The administration was great and very helpful and kind. Nice balance of formal and informal. A lot of laughter. As an improvement, I would say that during teaching and throughout class there should be stress on the benefits and limitations of each posture more, to force students to understand the postures better if they must describe them. Helps to be able to group them accordingly.
I learnt so much about myself and the
choices/journey I have been going through. My sleep has improved as a result of the changes in thoughts as well as better understanding of the people in my life.
The whole Vyasa team are lovely and so kind, and the combined experience makes it a very deep learning experience. I can say that this course/Manoji have changed my life. I am very grateful (and not very often sleep deprived anymore!!)

ANONYMOUS – BATCH 257D (2018)

“The contents of YICC are very nice and fruitful. Lectures of the teachers are simple and everyone can understand easily. Overall administration of Vyasa Yoga centre is very nice. This course should get more popularity. I am very much delighted to be part of Vyasa. Teachers and administration people are very cooperative. They welcome people with their heart. The communication between the teachers and the students is good. The program is conducted in very comfortable way. There is no pressure on the students. I am greatly satisfied with the course.

URMISHTHA TALUKDAR BATCH -239 (2017)

“The content of course is useful and very clear to enable us for teaching. We were taught all the subtle points of Asanas like benefits & limitations. Administration is also efficient. I had a great time learning all the details of Yoga teaching. Teachers were very knowledgeable in Yoga philosophy which was very helpful.

SATHEESH KUMAR- BATCH 262E (2018)

“YICC is designed to cover wide range of topics, which I found very rich and addressing the basics thoroughly. Teachers are friendly and knowledgeable. The Yoga philosophy was very much enjoyable.

YVONNE YU- BATCH 262E (2018)

“YICC contents are good for basic general knowledge. The teachers’delivery in on point. The course gives a good base of yoga and allows one to take part and go into further specialisation. I enjoyed the whole course, be it practical/theory.

KATERINA STIPEK BATCH 261D (2018)

“YICC content was excellent. Much broader than I expected. It has expanded my horizons and for that I am grateful. The teachers each have their own strength. Manoj is entertaining and full of knowledge. He is a paragon of humility and enthusiasm. Shivani has mastered the art of precise delivery and quiet encouragement. Prashant is a model for yoga as a way of life and Kuldeep makes anyone feel capable at even difficult asanas. The administration was efficient and welcoming. Flexible to needs and timing. I very much enjoyed my experience. Most significantly I feel like I have found a way of life that has already helped me clear my head, improve my health and strengthen my body in ways nothing else has done. I am inspired so, thank you.

JAKE MAXWELL WATTS – BATCH 255 (2018)

“It’s a excellent course, which has given me the insight of what I was looking forward for well I have already explained that how teachers have made everything so simple for us to understand and the best part is that they are open for suggestion ,I loved it. I appreciate the way manoj ji put everything in a very simplified way . Kuldeep ji for explaining scientific tacts ,ella and surbhi for helping us to understand altogether it’s a great team of teachers.administration quite well organised , I respect specially manoji for not having any ego which I sometimes experienced with other courses and the same attitude he has given to the assistant teachers ,in Singapore where sometimes you feel lonely they have given us a new family to share and socialise ,well all together from admin teachers place everything very well placed

The delivery of the programme by the teacher was wonderful and with a vast amount of knowledge. The admin was good, helpful and very kind. I have enjoyed the journey with YICC so far and I am sure I will still enjoy in the future as well. I came to YICC to bring my mind & body together and for now after YICC, I am on the right track. YICC has answered so many questions of mine (which were lying inside). This has openened a new dimension to my life which is much broader, brighter and blissful and this spills into my everyday life. The way I am, the way I am with my kid, my family and people around me.

Everything was pre planned and executed accordingly. I joined the Course with the intention to become a Yoga Instructor but apart from the Yoga learning I have learnt how to be better person.

There are no words to express how much wisdom I have gained. Overall I enjoyed every lesson at Vyasa so much so that I looked forward to each learning day with great enthusiasm.

JESSICA QUEK BATCH -245 (2017)

YICC at Vyasa Yoga is especially useful in terms of providing a glimpse of the huge Yoga Knowledge. The learning of Yoga is interesting as the Course provides a basic concept of Yoga Theories and Asana Practices, Pranayamas as well as Kriyas. It has spurred me to want to know more and continue learning. Teachers are professional and want all the theories and lessons be learnt and understood clearly. Delivery is easy to understand even for very profound Yoga Philosophies. Appreciate their patience and effort for putting in extra time for the weekend batch as we missed out a weekend of lesson. The program also opens up my mind and make me realise that, things that seem impossible can be done with ease. This definitely will enhance my attitude towards life. Nothing is impossible!”

KAREN BATCH-208 (2014)

Master Manoj Ji corrects and requests to do adjustment in a kind way. He communicates with his students in a way that is engaging and fun. Administration is very kind and very helpful.
I can’t even express how much the training meant to me and I truly am so happy to have embarked on the journey with Vyasa Yoga Singapore. It has helped me physically and spiritually. I am very inspired to do my very best to contribute to society as there are so many useful techniques learnt during the Course.

GEETHA BATCH-218 (2015)

“I like that YICC at Vyasa Yoga focuses on theoretical knowledge and not solely on Asanas. Teachers are very effective in delivery. We felt that it is very important to them that their students learn and understand the topic. Overall administration is kept very simple but effective!
I had a wonderful journey with Vyasa Yoga Centre. I feel that the things I have learnt there are continuously moulding me to be a better person. “

RELIZA

“I liked the Theory and Philosophy part the most. Master Manoj Thakur is a very kind, flexible and compassionate. The way Mr Manoj delivers the theory is fantastic. He uses so many real-life examples related to the topic. At the beginning I was uncertain if the program is suitable to me. But with Manoj ji’s encouragement and support I decided to continue. And I feel very glad to learn Yoga in Vyasa with Mr Manoj. Thank you….

CHRISTINE TEO YUET HUI BATCH-217 (2015)

“YICC at Vyasa Yoga is fantastic! I am very much surprised with the content of the course, as I expected it to be more like exercises and commercialised type; but it is not. As I have been doing my spiritual practice since last 3 years, I had many doubts and questions which were answered by Master Manoj ji during YICC. I wish to learn more from him

MELVINA KOO BATCH-218 (2015)

“The content is complete and easy to understand. I could feel great energy and the delivery of information on Yoga is wonderful. Master Manoj ji gives good examples which makes us understand better and always answers to our questions. The administration is well organized as well as the whole team is caring and it feels like family. First of all, I would like to thank you for the beautiful experience I had during the entire Course. Since day 1, it has been an eye opener. I have now a complete understanding of what is Yoga, its purpose. I know that Yoga is something I/we should do every day for achieving balance and therefore bliss. Thank you for the unconditional care and tolerance.

 
XENIA BATLLIRI BATCH-218 (2015)

“The 120 hours is an important component of Vyasa training. The comprehensive theory and practical classes prior to this extensive practicum provided a very firm foundation for me to, firstly understand and appreciate the true meaning of Yoga and it’s applications and then to be able to share this beautiful message to others who are in pursuit of this joy.”

SIVA GOPAL BATCH-188 (2013)

“YICC at Vyasa Yoga is all rounded and well planned out. It is very useful and made easy for everyone to understand. The teacher is very well established and explains the topics very well. His knowledge is vast and we gained a lot from him. Excellent! The practices were very organized. Personally I found the course extremely informative. I have gained insight into many things I never knew. My experience is very pleasant. I have understood many aspects of yoga and I plan to spread the concept as far as I can………….

SANGEETA VENKATESH BATCH-218 (2015)

“Since I attended YICC at Vyasa Yoga Singapore, I have different level of understanding for Yoga. Thanks to Master Manoj Thakur for his relaxed way of teaching. The way he conducts the lessons I felt at ease although there is an exam at the end !”

TEO AH ING, YICC. BATCH-200 (2014)

“The content of YICC at Vyasa Yoga Singapore is more intensive and practical. I liked the philosophy a lot. It really gave me a new perspective in life. The teacher Mr. Manoj is fantastic. He is approachable and friendly. He allows students to discuss and ask questions. This makes the class more interesting and livelier. His nice persona makes the lessons less stressful and so we can learn more. I also like flexibility in making up for lessons; if we could not make it for scheduled one.”

DESMOND LIM, YICC. BATCH-200 (2014)

“YTCC has excellent content. I enjoyed all Therapy studies and advanced techniques .Teachers Manoj ji and Shivani ji are very good. I enjoyed their kindness and wisdom while teaching during the course. The Course has given me opportunity and confidence to start my therapy work outside. And the patience from the teachers allows me to learn from mistakes and progress. Under their constant guidance, I feel have more understanding about Yoga & life.

CLAYTON BATCH-188(2013)

The content is very comprehensive and allows us to gain a deeper understanding of the true meaning of Yoga. The topics that we have learnt help us to develop the rationale for doing certain postures or techniques. The teachers are knowledgeable, patient, helpful and caring. They never fail to ensure that students have attained a very good understanding of the concept before moving on.

The entire Corse has shaded light on many aspects of Yoga that generally people fail to notice and know about. Yoga is practiced as an exercise without proper knowledge of its purpose or meaning… However the Course has given a better understanding regarding postures and their therapeutic properties.”

SHERMAINE TAN BATCH-206 (2014)

“Thanks to our Master Manoj Thakur for endless answers, discussions, and guidance on our path to becoming yoga teachers. His knowledge is vast and I hope one day to be dedicated and learned as him.”

SUE FLOTOW BATCH-187 (2013

“I liked the content of YICC very much! It was complete in presentation and provided background to the great wealth of knowledge Yoga can offer…Master Manoj conducted the class in a way not to overwhelm the students relatively new to Yoga. Vyasa Yoga Centre is very welcoming… very professional yet also keen to improve continuously. I felt as if I almost joined a community of an enlarged family! I simply loved attending YICC! I am so much thankful to Master Manoj for allowing me to attend sessions for the following batches as I missed 5 classes due to travel and other engagements… Overall becoming part of the Vyasa Yoga Singapore’s student’s community has been a great experience.”

ALEXANDRA SCHMUTTERER BATCH-204 (2014)

“YICC at Vyasa Yoga provided a much broader and comprehensive view on Yoga. I used to focus just on Asana, but now onwards I will use Yoga as a way of Life! During the Course, interaction with teachers made me appreciate the depth & wisdom of Yoga even more. All peers in the class help and support each other which are very good! The administration at Vyasa Yoga is easy, relaxed yet organized…

YOONG WEI CHIEN, JANE BATCH-206 (2014)

RINA ISABELLA BATCH-213 (2014)

“My recent participation in Yoga Teacher’s Training Course (YICC) has been a very enriching and useful experience. I found the approach to be holistic as it not only focussed on the Asanas, but enunciated the concept of yoga, including practical demonstrations, theme based assignments and report preparation. I personally found it to be an eye opener as it helped me to better understand the perception of yoga and in general the enormous advantages it holds for one to lead a composed and guarded way of life. I would like to express my sincere appreciation to Vyasa School for their efforts in organising and facilitating such Yoga courses.”

RAMAM AKKIPEDDI BATCH-200 (2014)

Vyasa Yoga Centre seems to be well run. The registration process is easy and all classes ran on schedule.”

SENIFA BATCH-207 (2014)

“Starting my journey last year with YICC, it gave me the theoretical as well as practical foundation leading into my yoga practice and teaching today, including pranayama, asanas and relaxation techniques.I am very much enjoyed having Manoj as a teacher and being part of the Vyasa family. However, 1.5 years down the road I felt it was time to go deeper and that is why I joined in May YTCC. It is a truly fantastic program giving us the adequate background information connecting yoga with medical knowledge. I am very happy that I made this step forward to deepen my understanding and knowledge of yoga”

ULI

“YICC at Vyasa Yoga gave me a holistic picture about what Yoga truly is. Theory topics were very informative and were taught systematically. Asanas, Pranayamas, Kriyas and all the other topics are taught with notes that are very comprehensive. Teachers give good explanations to every question asked; even for questions on personal level.
Administration is very organized, no administrative red tape, it was easy to apply and pay for the course.
After the first week of practice, I found significant improvement in my quality of sleep. It usually took me about one to two hours to fall asleep before I started yoga, even during hectic days (I was still schooling in junior college and would be very tired by the end of the day). Now, it takes me about half an hour and I wake up feeling energised. Throughout the course, I have felt deeply of how the words of a doctor can actually affect the patient a lot, especially mentally.
As I am going to continue with medical school this year, I will be wary of how I want to communicate with my patients in the future. I have enjoyed the whole month of YICC training with my batch mates. Everyone’s experiences built on each other’s which gave me valuable insights of many life related issues and health problems. To be specific, this month flew by very fast and I would recommend anyone to join this course.

YAP BIN HUI BATCH-218 (2014)

“YICC at Vyasa Yoga is very comprehensive in terms of coverage of Concept and Theory of Yoga. Teachers are knowledgeable and administration is efficient! It has been an enriching experience for me. I also got to meet like-minded participants who are equally passionate about Yoga.”

WENDY YIP BATCH-210 (2014)

“YICC at Vyasa Yoga covered everything well about Yoga which I really wanted to find out. Every single topic is broken down in point form which is easy to digest. Opportunity to attend talks during the Course is proven helpful to me. I have been able to learn a true concept of Yoga and also able to calm myself down a lot. My family especially see my changes. I am seeing things in different perspective which helps me bring down stress. One big “Thank you” to all teachers who patiently replied my questions & queries during the Course!

AMANDA YEO BATCH-221 (2014)

“I came here to increase my knowledge of Yoga, mainly poses, which is only a physical aspect of Yoga. But the Course has given me much more. It has given me an insight into myself which was very much needed. It has made me more spiritual & relaxed person. I have found this Course very helpful. It increases confidence of students by exposing them to different kinds of projects & an outing, meeting new people. It prepares them to be confident enough to teach Yoga. So I think my journey has been happy as well as successful.”

PULKITA SEKSARIA, YICC. BATCH-200 (2014)
