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)
(ERYT-500 & YACEP with 50,000+ hours of teaching experience)
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 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.
Is this yoga teacher training online course suitable for beginners?
Yes. This course is suitable for dedicated beginners as well as experienced practitioners who want a structured and in-depth introduction to Hatha Yoga, yoga philosophy, anatomy, and teaching methodology.
Is this a 200 hour Hatha Yoga teacher training online program?
Yes. This is a 200 hour Hatha Yoga teacher training online course designed for students who want flexibility while still following a structured and traditional training path.
What makes this yoga teacher training online different from other courses?
This course combines the flexibility of online study with a strong focus on traditional Hatha Yoga, structured learning, and a complete 200 hour curriculum rather than only surface-level instruction.
Do I need prior teaching experience to join?
No. Prior teaching experience is not required. The course is designed to help students build their understanding step by step before moving into teaching principles and methodology.
Does the training include yoga philosophy, anatomy, pranayama, and meditation?
Yes. The course includes all of these foundational subjects as part of the 200 hour Hatha Yoga teacher training curriculum.
Why a 200-hour yoga course?
A 200-hour training over a traditional long-term training of 2-5 years has many benefits.
- <li “=”” =””=”” class=” ” data-css=”tve-u-1810058c12e” tve-droppable”=””>
- : A 200-hour course will give you internationally accredited certification, meaning you can teach anywhere.<li “=”” =””=”” class=” ” data-css=”tve-u-1810058c12e” tve-droppable”=””>
- : You can get certified as soon as in 26 days instead of 2 years of a traditional certification program.<li “=”” =””=”” class=” ” data-css=”tve-u-1810058c12e” tve-droppable”=””>
- : Generally, a 200-hour yoga teacher training costs much less than long-term training.<li “=”” =””=”” class=” ” data-css=”tve-u-1810058c12e” tve-droppable”=””>
- : As the time is less, these courses tend to be more relevant and to the point.
Is a 200-Hour yoga training enough?
The common question is whether a 200-hour yoga training instructor certification is enough to teach yoga. Instead of the number of hours, you should focus more on the course content, teachers, and accreditation. A two-year course which takes place once a week for three hours, will cover a total of 300 hours of training, but as the training will spread over a long period, it will not be as effective.
We tried the weekend training, where classes took place for 14 weekends for 6 hours each day. But we noticed that when students came back the following weekend, they had forgotten most of what they learned last weekend due to the distractions and hectic lifestyle during the week. So, in reality, the first half day of every weekend went into revising what has been taught last weekend. Imagine how that will work out with once a weekly class over the period of 200-hour two or three years.
So if the training is followed in an intensive style, in one go it is definitely more effective and sufficient. Another important question is, what do you do in those 200 hours? If you spend those hours talking, chatting, having fun, or even just practicing yoga class together, you will not be ready to teach afterward. But if your 200 hours course spends the time covering and practicing hands-on teaching, understanding and applying anatomy, then you should definitely be ready to teach right after the course. We at Arhanta guarantee you, that our graduates will feel ready to teach immediately after you finish the course.
Does online yoga teacher training actually work?

What is the benefit of a 200-hour Accreditation?
