Meet Dr. Ram Jain, PhD (Yoga),
Namaste,
I am Dr. Ram Jain, PhD (Yoga), founder of Arhanta Yoga Ashrams & Online Academy and the creator of this online yoga teacher training.
Growing up in a family where yoga has been our way of life for five generations has given me a unique perspective on these ancient practices. My training in the Sivananda tradition and intensive study of sacred texts at Vedic school—from the Upanishads to the Yoga Sutras—allows me to share yoga’s profound principles in clear, practical ways.
As an ERYT-500 & YACEP certified instructor, my mission has always been to make yoga’s authentic teachings accessible to all—whether through our online academy, in-person trainings, or my Amazon bestseller “Hatha Yoga for Teachers & Practitioners.” To date, our yoga ashrams in India and the Netherlands, along with our online academy, have guided over 24000 teachers to certification.
I hope this course gives you the same joy and depth of understanding that yoga has brought to my life and my family for generations.
Dr. Ram Jain, PhD (Yoga)

Our Teaching Approach
Benefit from 5 Generations of Yoga Heritage
Our approach to teaching yoga comes from five generations of lived experience. We’ve learned that every student is unique, shaped by their physical abilities, personal goals, and inner journey. This understanding guides how we teach at Arhanta.
We don’t believe in rigid, one-size-fits-all alignment. Instead, we recognize that each body tells its own story. You’ll learn to guide students with this same awareness, understanding their needs and helping them find their best expression of each pose. While we honor yoga’s traditional roots, we teach these principles in ways that speak to modern practitioners.
At Arhanta Yoga, we help you develop more than teaching skills. You’ll gain deep knowledge of yoga’s philosophy, build genuine confidence, and discover your authentic voice as a teacher and practitioner.

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.

“I came here to Arhanta ashram with an open mind and no idea what to expect. It was three weeks of intensive emotional strengthening and a transformational experience within myself and the group, guided by our teachers. I am grateful and happy that I could learn from such excellent teachers in this wonderful ashram. Thanks to the teachers and their generous advice, I found my confidence and purpose, and now I look forward to teaching my yoga classes.“

Arjan
I have the highest regard for Arhanta; they truly stand by their values. I am so glad I came across their website. Every teacher has a great teaching style. Ram has profound knowledge that he describes well, using humor & tales. Omkar helped me to go deep with my yoga asanas and teaching skills. I learned more with this course in one month than in the two years long teacher training I completed earlier. I highly recommend Arhanta!

What is a 200-hour yoga teacher training?
A 200-hour course is the international standard of a professional yoga teacher training program. recently many schools started to give 200-hour yoga instructor certification with very short courses, like a short 3-day weekend course of 15 hours. Unfortunately, you cannot learn enough and develop the skills required to teach in 3 days.
So some yoga associations like Yoga Alliance & Yoga Federation started to ask for a minimum of 200 hours of certification in order to register with them. They found out that a serious yoga teacher training course needs at least 200 hours of training to cover and teach the required skills and knowledge.
