Her Story:

In September 2004, I took the Yoga Teacher Training Program organized by HK Yoga Association. The Program was taught by Dickson, whom I discovered later to be an experienced and skilled teacher balancing demonstration, practice, teaching skills and theory in his training. I found the Program unique on my first day. "Stretch to limit? Sounds tough and pain!" That’s my first impression of yoga from Dickson.
 
As a total novice, I decided to take DY classes as well hoping to improve my skills in short time. Spending 2 months working hard in DY classes and Teacher Training Program pushed up my flexibility, stamina and teaching experience together with comprehensive understanding of the real principle of yoga. Now I can see drastic improvement. Not only did I pass the exam and successfully obtain Elementary Yoga Teacher Certificate Training Program, but I also got assigned to be an assistant yoga tutor and this all happened in only 2 months time.

With the extraordinary and effective methods at Dickson Yoga, I found that the real benefit of yoga was not only as a physical and mental discipline, but also as a personal spiritual practice. I’m highly motivated to enjoy every single pose and get the point on how to relax when we feel pain because of stretching to limit. This was not an easy task at the beginning, but now I'm enjoying and loving the "pain". What I need to do is just take a few deep breaths and relax. With provided knowledge and teaching practice, I feel confident to begin teaching safely and mindfully when I go back to Malaysia.
