A diverse group of participants from Iran, Indonesia, Sabah, Sarawak, Kelantan, Ipoh, BatuArangand the Klang Valley attended the 5 days intensive programme at Chap Kuan School in BatuArang. Amongst them were school teachers, physiotherapists, volunteers/caregivers of various NGOs including National Stroke Association of Malaysia (NASAM)and several teenage leadership trainees.Participants from out of town opted for free accommodation provided at MYS Yoga Home in BatuArang while the rest commuted daily from Klang Valley.

Although the training was intensive, the participants were in high spirits and looking remarkably radiant by the fifth day than when they first arrived. They expressed their wholehearted appreciation for the free programme as they gained a deeper understanding of authentic yogic science and experienced significant health improvements, including better breathing and coordination, reduced joints pain and back ache, as well as increased mental alertness and confidence. Upon completion of the course, all participants were evaluated and received their IYIC Level 1 certification on the final day.

MYS organisersalso announced that this programme is scheduled to be held again in May and November 2012.
