Ananda Iyengar Yoga Centre

I have participated in 4 classes, one of them with my 77 years old mom. The classes were very good, the explanations were clear and the teachers were experienced and fit the level of the practice to each student.

I had the chance to participate in 7 courses with Lothar and Siew whom I warmly thank for their lessons
A great complicity for this couple of teachers who pass on their knowledge with great passion.
An unforgettable experience, see you next year!
Many thanks!

I joined a week of daily classes, and loved it. The teachers are a perfect combination of professionalism, sweetness, kindness and generosity. They help each student with each and every asana, so the teaching is precise and accurate. I strongly recommend to Iyengar lovers to join the classes.

Hello, Lothar and Siew gave me back my joy of life through their instruction and instructions on special exercises! How come?
I had been suffering from sciatic pain for more than 3 years, which left me unable to sleep at all some nights and only partial sleep many other nights. And during the day there were often impairments because of the pain, which no painkillers, including opioids, helped.
One orthopedic surgeon wanted to operate on me because of a stenosis in the lumbar vertebra according to an MRI, the other saw my excessive S-curvature of the spine as the trigger. Thanks to my daughter, I came into contact with both of them and so I booked my stay on Koh Phangan. After 25 private sessions lasting 1.5 hours over the last 5 weeks, which challenged me greatly as the main focus was on stretching my spine, I can report great success: the frequency and severity of sciatica pain has massively decreased! There are now days and nights without pain, which used to be a rarity. So I can say very clearly: Thanks to Lothar and Siew, I am now on a very good path.
I am very grateful to Lothar and Siew for their work with me. Her know-how and her great way of working with the body and the senses have made almost impossible things possible for me! So nice that I was able to get to know them both.

This was my first experience of Iyengar and it’s one I’ll never forget! I absolutely loved the classes because of the knowledge, experience, instruction, adjustment and passion of the two teachers. It’s an extraordinary discipline and I would highly recommend it to anyone to try, regardless of your yoga experience.

Came to Lothar and Siew because of spine/back problem for years. After 3 months all problems was gone, having it for 20 years and these great guys helped me getting rid of it thru introduce me to Iyengar yoga. They are really good people, funny and tough at the same time. Great balance between a laugh and seriousness. Highly recommend them.

I'll be short, if you're on Koh Phangan practicing yoga and you don't take classes with Lothar and Siew Keow at Ananda Iyengar Yoga Centre, then you're missing out a lot! First i want to thank Lothar and Siew Keow for everything that they share with us students and selflessly, with a lot of passion, transfer knowledge to us, I have learned a lot! People usually look for the easiest way, that's why maybe Iyengar yoga seems physically difficult and doesn't attract them, because it asks us to make a little more effort. I will just quote Iyengar: “The brain is the hardest part of the body to adjust in asanas”. So if you are ready to overcome those things and to improve your yoga practice, and you are on Koh Phangan, then you need to practice with Lothar and Siew Keow, it’s that simple

The best learning experience you can get.
An opportunity to learn from the best and most professional yoga teachers out there.
More than recommended.

One of the best yoga practices I had. Lothar and Siew are great teachers, with many years of experience. Highly recommend if you're looking for a place to boost your yoga skills

During our vacation we luckly found this place. We were coming 3 times a week the whole last month and it was a pleasure practicing with such a professional, devoted, attentive teachers like lothar and siew. Thanks to them, With a very straight forward approach but also gentle and respectfull we were being able to do a deep process in such a short time. Absolutely recommend for beginners and also advanced yoga practitioners. Waiting for the next time in koh phangan to come learn with them!

For 20 years I’ve wanted to get into yoga but could never stick with it. But these 2 are just the best people and such a lovely couple and so extremely good at what they do that it felt fun and important enough for me to keep going. Im very grateful that they exist and will continue to see them any chance in get. I have chronic shoulder, knee and back injuries - they are on a level where they can work with and improve such things very safely and with real precision. If I was gonna marry myself to one yoga place for the rest of my life, this would be it for sure!

Lother and Siew are truly one of a kind teachers.
I came to them them with wrist and back issues and I can say that I am well on my way to recovery.
They are passionate, authentic and really care about their students well being, or as Lother likes to call us, his Kinder:)

These guys are the teachers of the teachers on the island and i highly recommend them.

Iyengar has completely changed my life. I came to this class with a torn back and many body issues. The instructors lovingly guided me to learn how to use my body properly and continuously provide the exact support I need to fix and prevent injuries. Since coming to this highly engaging and fun class, I have become extremely more capable and functional with my body. My athletic performance has increased. I’ve lost weight. I’m happier and my posture is naturally better ALL THE TIME. This.stuff.works. I recommend trying it out at least 5-6 times in order to truly start to get it.

Sue and Lotta are incredible! They have completely changed my view on yoga. They are so knowledgable and care so deeply for people. They are genuine yoga's that have dedicated their life to the practice. Plus after suffering chronic back pain for a long time I am very quickly beginning to see results! Super happy I have found this studio. I have converted to Iyengar. I would highly recommend you give it a go!

It was really unexpected for me to find an Iyengar Yoga studio in Koh Phangan! What a good surprise to have very good teachers here! The class is amazing, I encourage Yoga practitioners to try it.props are there, accessible for any level with particular attention to each student! They give class every morning! Enjoy!

This place is super professional!
every class is always thought by two teachers and that means that all you're movements are closely mentored and coarcted.you fill like there is someone helping you and improving you in every minute you are there.this place is excellent for both beginners and advances students as the level of teaching and the attention they give pushes each student to his personal next level.
I came there with a crocked back and after two months of Dailey work my back has improved dramatically with there help.

Thank you so much

Unfortunately, they were closed during our stay and up until September 30th. However, their communication was efficient and we look forward to returning at another time!

Best thing I ever done for my body!
Wow! Iyengar yoga with Lothar and Siew is top natch! I have gone to Iyengar in New York but these amazing teachers just brought it to a different level! So much personal attention, care, laughter makes 2 hours of this intense bodywork pass by very fast.
Lothar does body scan of every student, his knowledge of body mechanics is just unbelievable. He sees you through! You can tell he has been practicing yoga for over 20 years! He teaches every posture so precisely and together with Siew they make individual adjustments and corrections for everyone.

Iyangar yoga is my favorite type of yoga. It's not a work out! It's like a physical therapy that you can yourself. It teaches you to understand your body's issues and improve them. I have one leg shorter than another than lead to many problems in my posture and twisted my body. It helped me a lot with my posture, my neck pain and the way I walk.

Thank you Lothar and Seiw for you amazing work! Very greatfull for you.

I was so happy to find an Iyengar yoga centre in the island. The teachers Siew & Luther are both fantastic teachers. Attentive and encouraging I felt supported and challenged in both classes I attend there. If you ve ever thought of trying Iyengar yoga I can recommend that you try it here.

Siew and Lothar are two experienced, knowledgable teachers. They really make an effort to give every student personal attention. With eye for detail, patience and clear instructions. Thank you and hope to see you again
