This TTC fulfilled all my expectations. The location, the food, the content and the schedule were as I thought a serious TTC should look like. I want to emphasize specially the high quality of both content & methods of the two teachers, Ram and Omkar provided. I am really impressed! I recommend it very much."

I really enjoyed the method of teaching of the course. I saw my development and growth day by day. It is an intense experience and at the same time with pleasure and good moments and laughter. The teachers are one of the strongest points of the course, they know how to transmit the content in an easy and clear way. Now I am confident to start my classes, highly recommended if you want to learn to teach yoga!"
Arjan

This course was recommended to me by a friend who did the same course here in 2016. The setup of the course is incredible, the teachers are fantastic. You can see and feel yourself progressively improve. It is so much more than ‘just’ a yoga TT course. The teachers Ram & Omkar are fully tuned into the group giving it all they need. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who is ready to dive into yoga or is ready to look at him or herself.
Debbie

I am very grateful to my friend Laura who recommended me this school. Arhanta Yoga provided everything I was looking for. After many years practicing yoga I finally got the deep knowledge that I was looking for. The time in the ashram for one month allowed me to better connect to myself. The teachers are more than professional and the ashram is really peaceful. I highly recommend this life changing experience.
