Chan Sook Ching



Diploma in Yoga Teaching, Sports Massage, Aromatherapy + Cert. in Diet & Nutrition



"The education with Sandhya Maarga has been a destiny changer. I never knew that I'd fall in love with Yoga. After graduating from the Diploma programme, I proceeded to take my passion to the next level and enrolled for more diplomas in the holistic field. I am now one of Sandhya Maarga's senior instructors and am part of the management for the studios in Malaysia."



Sudha Kanisan



Diploma in Education & Training (UK) & ATCL Dip. in Teaching (Speech & Drama)



"To become a professional trainer or to involve myself in the education line has always been my dream since childhood. I ended up becoming a nurse instead. I was able to revive my passion by taking a Diploma in Teaching (Speech & Drama) followed by the Diploma in Education & Training, which have tremendously helped in my line of work as Nurse Manager."



Wong Chee Wei



Diploma in Diet & Nutrition



"I am grateful that I have chosen to study the Diploma in Diet & Nutrition course with SMHLA because I have learnt so much... The lecturers were very helpful and taught me what I have always wanted to learn."



Farah Harnum



Diploma in Aromatherapy



"I love this course. I get to know in depth about aromatherapy as an ancient healing that has been used thousand of years to improved our health and well being. Initially, I learned about human anatomy and physiology to equip me with with the knowledge of the human structure. Then, the journey continues with essential oils and its theraupetic application. It really awesome."



Samantha
Phoon See Mun



Diploma in Yoga Teaching



"I always thought Yoga is just a form of exercise. I didn't know much about it until I started learning more about the practice. Master Genevieve was right. Yoga, as affirmed by the WHO, is a form of therapy. Not only does it help improve my health physically, I always experience peace of mind when practising yoga. It is through Yoga that I find inner peace. There is no other exercise that helps physically and spiritually at the same time. Initially, I took Yoga for the preschool children and not for myself. I'm grateful for this twisted fate that brought me to a whole new world. There's still a long journey to this whole new world and I'm enjoying every moment of it."



Yap Siou Yu



Diploma in Diet & Nutrition



"I had been interested in exploring Diet & Nutrition as there are numerous facts and myths in this area. I was glad to get to know about how this Academy was offering UK accredited courses with affordable fees from my friend, who was also a student here. All lessons are well designed with supportive learning environment. Lecturers here are knowledgeable and committed to help the students to excel. The knowledge and skills I acquired at the Academy has greatly enhanced my confidence to share / exchange knowledge in this area with others. What I have learned here will definitely help me throughout my life."



Neoh Kim Seong



Diploma in Diet & Nutrition



"Taking this diploma course was indeed a sudden yet a VERY RIGHT decision. This course has equipped me with the necessary knowledge to understand the RIGHT FOOD to consume in order to stay healthy. Having the right diet & nutrition is essential for our health, however there are other factors such as “Qi” or energy flow in our body which should not be neglected as well. As our ancestor used to say, “When the Qi-Blood circulation is good, all the diseases go away”. SMHLA, unlike other colleges, offers a whole range of courses and practices which I believe would be able to lead a person to a much healthier life - with healthier body, mind & soul. Thank you SMHLA for all the great efforts done."



Christina
Kwan Yau Oi



Diploma in Aromatherapy



"I love this course because it covers a wide range of knowledge about Anatomy & Physiology, essential oils and holistic healing. Feeling great! This course has transformed me to appreciate the power of the natural healing of essential oils. It has also developed my confidence, brighten my inner strength to help others transform their life and health with essential oils."



Michelle
Chiang Mei Lan



Diploma in Aromatherapy



"I was always getting more & more excited for the next class. Acquiring knowledge in Aromatherapy has opened up the world for me! I strongly believe that when we have a strong passion in a subject, we must pursue it, and arm ourselves with knowledge. Now, my biggest take away from this course is, that age is just a number, there is no limit. This qualification provided me the confidence and resources that we need not fear the use of essential oils and as such, it made me realised after graduating that I am honoured to be an alumni of this holistic Academy."



Esther
Low Bee Hiong



Diploma in Aromatherapy



"Thank you very much for the opportunity to learn with Sandhya Maarga. I am very glad that I went ahead with the course and although I found Anatomy & Physiology to be a very dull, dry and boring topic for me, I still enjoy the course especially when I get to learn about the essential oils and their use. I hope to learn all that are necessary to be able to use my knowledge to assist others when needed in the future."



Bobby M.
(Australia)



Diploma in Yoga



"My journey towards becoming a Yoga instructor started here. It was an incredibly enriching experience. The programme provided me with a comprehensive understanding of yoga and its benefits, as well as the skills and knowledge to teach yoga classes confidently. The faculty members were knowledgeable, supportive, and dedicated to helping us succeed. The curriculum was well-structured, and covered everything from yoga philosophy to asanas and pranayama. Overall, I highly recommend Sandhya Maarga's Diploma in Yoga programme to anyone who is passionate about yoga and wants to deepen their practice."



Marilyn Yates (UK)



Certificate in Diet & Nutrition



"I recently completed the UK Certificate in Diet & Nutrition course at Sandhya Maarga, and I cannot recommend it enough. The programme provided me with a comprehensive understanding of the principles of nutrition and their application in a variety of settings. Classes were engaging and accessible, and the instructors were knowledgeable and supportive. Through the coursework and assessments, I gained valuable skills in menu planning, dietary analysis, and nutritional counseling, which will be invaluable in my future career. The best part is the qualification is internationally recognised and I'll be furthering my education in this area."

Sia Pei Shan (Professional Model)



Yoga for Weight Loss



"I look forward to going for SM Yoga classes as it is good for my body, mind and spirit. I found that I'm now able to do the things that I didn't think I could do before. Not only is Yoga a good exercise that promotes weight loss, it has made me more flexible too. This helped improve my self-image. The health tips in classes taught me how to maintain a healthy metabolism that will help break down the body fat and detox."



Samreetha S.



Yoga for Kids



"I decided to send Samreetha to Yoga class after a few episodes of bronchiolitis. Found Sandhya Maarga giving classes for children and she immediately joined in ever since she was 3. I found good results after she joined the Yoga class, less episodes of flu & phlegm. And thanks to Sandhya Maarga, Samreetha has become increasingly interested in practising Yoga ever since." (Mother)



Alison Woon Siew Chiew



Yoga for General Health



"At one point of time, my right arm experienced numbness from time to time. Practising Yoga stretches my body and improved my right arm. I don't have the feeling of numbness anymore."



"The dedication provided by the lecturer towards her students is immeasurable... She is very attentive, and ensures that we fully comprehend the chapters and syllabus before moving on to the next step. They also gave extra before the exams just to ensure that I am well prepared and confident to ace my exams. I definitely recommend the private lessons. Second to none!"



Terence Anselm Boudville

Deutsch A1 & A2



"It was definitely a whole new experience to learn a new language. With German, you can open new doors of opportunities and build up self esteem and confidence too. I am glad I have made the decision to learn German here."



See Jia Le

(Intensive Course: A1-A2 for Summer Exchange Programme in Germany)



"I'm very grateful to be able to learn with Ms. Tan. She is very patient and always tried her best to correct me even though I kept on repeating my mistakes. I went for 2 weeks one-on-one intensive course and managed to speak some German in such a short period of time. Learning the basics before I left for Germany was probably my best decision ever. Couldn't get a better German teacher for beginners who want to learn German."

"The classes helped me gain a strong interest in learning German and I really enjoyed them."

Now that I live in Austria, being able to communicate in their first language is very important and I'm glad I've built my base at this Academy. Thank you!"



Tiffany Tan

"Although I may not be using German anytime soon, I have learned a lot about this valuable language. Classes were interactive and the teacher has helped me get through the course, improving my understanding of the language."



Joshua Lau

Student



"I have a great experience studying German via online conferencing with this Academy. Studying German online allows me to be very comfortable in my own way in a familiar environment, which is even better than studying in a classroom. I am not ashamed to make mistakes because I do not mind how people would stare at me if I make mistakes."



Angeline Ng

Yu Shiou Hui

​Working Professional



"German is a tough language but with practice and dedication, it's not that hard."



Sarnesh Manickavasagam

​Student



"Learning a new language is not easy but it is fun. I enjoy learning German here because we study in a small group, that makes it easier for us to discuss and ask the teacher. Now, I'm able to read, write and communicate simple conversations in German with my sisters and friends and I love the feeling that I am now able to understand German."



Tan Guat Fong

Working Professional



"The German language class is interesting and good for beginners. I'm glad that I was able to learn this new language in a short time!"

​Dance Instructor



"If you are interested in classical music, you should study in Germany. If you are looking for a car, buy German. If you are looking for high-end electronics like headphones and speakers, look for the sign "made in Germany". If you want to improve productivity, learn from a German. If you are interested in festivals, check out Oktoberfest in Munich! So get started! Learn German!!"



Sylar Sun

Musician



"At first, I had difficulties in choosing the right language to learn to broaden my language skills. I was unsure if German or French would suit be better that time. However, after joining the German class at this Academy, I am pretty sure learning German is the best choice I have ever made. Now, I have mastered the language and would love to continue learning."



Lee Say Yein

Working Professional




"I always wanted to learn the German Language to further my studies in Germany. I have come across a few instructors and found that only Sandhya Maarga Holistic Living Academy offered the best that suited my needs. I needed an instructor who can always engage closely with students and speaks German in class from beginning until the end of the session. Every time I attend classes, I feel so fulfilled. I would definitely love to continue doing it until I have successfully achieved my goal."

"Learning a new language is always fun! We learn through games and quizzes. Online classes are easy to follow! Our classes are interactive and our Deutsch teacher tests us from time-to-time to check our progress."



JEGAJOTHY JEGANANTHAM



Mandarin Language



"A simple and interactive way of learning Mandarin primarily focused on grasping the basics of the language. The teacher would often have role plays in class to improve our conversational skills and writing of short compositions to gauge our understanding of the lessons and the Mandarin language."



Rajesh Naidu



Mandarin Language



"A trip to Beijing prompted me to enrol for Mandarin classes at SMHLA... Thanks to the tutor's dedication, I am proud to say I'm able to speak and understand the language well. It was a great advantage during my trip to China."

My new knowledge and skills also enabled me to build greater rapport with my partners and clients. Various activities are lined up for students to learn and apply their knowledge in a business setting. Highly recommended!"



Julie CHEONG



English as a Second Language



"I was from a Chinese education background. My English was OK but I wanted to improve more before I went to university. I was afraid of speaking English and would usually reply in Chinese. The course gave me more confidence to converse in English and prepared me well to go to University. Now, I speak freely with my friends and lecturers in Uni in English."
