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 & YACEP with 50,000+ 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 difficult period, I found my purpose when I began teaching yoga, and I love to help people find their joy through the work I do. Now I help people with my 23 years of knowledge and teaching experience so they can find joy and happiness through yoga in a safe and effective manner.
Growing up in India, I assisted many yoga teachers, and I always felt something was missing in how they trained yoga teachers. It is one thing to have a good self-practice and another to have the skill needed to help others.
So I decided to create high standards yoga teacher training courses that will be to the point and will teach the practical skills essential to train and teach efficiently. This is why Arhanta exists.
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 to help 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, confidence, and take control of your life.
