Online Trainings Since 2017
In 2017 we decided to provide online versions of our yoga teacher training as we were getting requests from people who could not travel to our ashrams.
I was intrigued by the outcome, so we created this online version to see where the virtual journey would take us. When we announced it on social media, we were bombarded with negative comments; some believed it was impossible to learn yoga online.
The outcome surprised us all. Within the first six months, more than a thousand practitioners had already enrolled in our online training program.
Hundreds of five-star reviews gave us confidence, and regular feedback helped us refine the online course to make it entirely user-friendly, with added value for our students.

Course Instructor,
Dr. Ram Jain, PhD (Yoga)
(ERYT 500, RPYT 500 & YACEP with 6000 hours of Teaching Experience)
I am thankful for the gift of yoga in my life. I’ve been helping people transform their lives with the science of yoga for over two decades and discover the life-changing gift of yoga for themselves.
After a long and challenging period, I found my purpose when I began teaching yoga, and I love to help people find their joy through my work. Now I help people with my over 23 years of knowledge and teaching experience so they can find joy and happiness through yoga safely and effectively.
Growing up in India, I assisted many yoga teachers, and I always felt something was missing in how yoga teachers were trained to teach. It is one thing to have good self-practice and another to have the skill to help others.
So I decided to create high-standard yoga teacher training courses that will be to the point and will teach the practical skills essential to train and teach effectively.
I see yoga as a way to master the five senses, so I named the ashram ‘Arhanta Yoga,’ the yoga to master the five senses!
This passion for helping others succeed drives all of us at Arhanta.
At Arhanta, we don’t just teach yoga. We teach you how to reach your potential, develop your skills and confidence, and take control of your life.

Clear, traditional and professional
A big range of different subjects is explained in a clear and structured way. Ram’s lessons are full of old Indian stories, that serve as an example of the subjects. Through these stories, it becomes even easier to understand and remember everything! The information is very true to tradition, something that often lacks in Western Teacher Trainings. I would definitely reccomend this course!
An excellent course where you learn everything you wanted to know about yoga philosophy! Highly recommended!
Thank You
This training is really interesting to explore the philosophy of yoga in depth. Thank you so much Ram, for your invaluable teaching, your clear explanations and the annecdotes which allow to better understand all these concepts and their origins. I am very happy to have taken this training to complete my journey and improve my teaching of Yoga.
Yoga philosophy in a way to remember
I am in the middle of my YTT 200 hours (not at arhanta) and realized that there is a lot of philosophy in yoga which really has to sink in. I saw this online course and just tried it to compare the teachings and find a way to really understand it. Well this one worked!! Al the stories and the way is is explained did the trick to sink in! Thanx Ram! Petra
It has opened my understanding
I have just completed the philosophy of yoga course and I have learnt so much about yoga. I trained as a yoga teacher, not to teach the asanas but to understand the philosophy behind such a complex and wide subject. My first course was based on the Bhagavad Gita yet when I had finished it I knew I needed more and this is what this course offered. It was informative, practical and thoughtful.
