Praveen Yoga Academy

I completed my YTTC with PYA, and it was an incredible learning experience. The entire journey was enriching, thanks to the constant guidance and support from Praveen Sir and Manasi Ma'am. The highlight of the course for me was the alignment sessions conducted by Praveen Sir -- they were exceptionally detailed and truly deepened my understanding of correct posture and body mechanics. I also really appreciated that a doctor was invited to explain anatomy concepts, which added great depth and clarity to the overall learning experience.

Thank you for the Yoga classes and Yoga teaching. My reviews: The Good: 1. Varied nature of different exercises on different days. Makes the classes something to look forward to and very enjoyable during the class. 2. Classes generally address to the medium level of complexity such that it is within the capability of most of the class members. 3. Feel very exhilirated and refreshed every day, at the end of the one-hour class. Scope for improvement: 1. Please avoid speed exercises involving one-count-one-movement in an exercise which have multiple moves. This is too fast to react and do, particularly when repeated ten times or more. Even 3-count-one-movement is also fast to cope up. I tried to do at my own pace, but since I am hearing the teacher's faster counting, it is hard to maintain focus and continue when I do it at a lower pace. I recommend each posture should have at least 6 to 10 counts before transitioning to next posture in the exercise. 2. Composite exercises which involve multiple postures (like soorya namaskar) are difficult to follow and remember in a Zoom class. We lose track easily and give up particulary when repeated multiple times and also when done fast as mentioned above in (1). Instead, please split the moves to 2 or 3 only at a time and repeat. Then progress to the next set of 2 or 3 moves in the aasana. 3. Please give alternative or simpler posture choices to do when the main posture involves difficult to balance situation, like one legged stand, and particularly leaning upside down against a wall. That is quite difficult to do and we need something which is alternative. For example, in this case, the down-dog posture with each leg lifted backward up for some counts, can be a good alternative. 4. Sometimes, when we do exercises with our eyes closed with a cloth, it is very difficult to do composite multi-step exercises since we can't see the teacher. Teacher's verbal sound only instructions are also difficult to follow. So, please keep those exercises very short and with very little verbal instructions. Maybe one sentence of instructions only. 5. Finally, in general please keep instructions very short and to the point. Too much teacher's verbal communication is very distracting and difficult to follow, particularly in Zoom. And also, I cannot understand any Hindi. If anything is said in Hindi, please repeat that in English also. Thank you for helping us with your Yoga classes. It has changed our lives in a very positive and healthy way for the better. -Akila
