About the course teacher,
Dr. Ram Jain, PhD (Yoga)
(ERYT-500 and YACEP with 40,000+ 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, practice, and principles of yoga for over two decades.
Born into a family where yoga has been the way of life for five generations, my formal yoga journey began at eight at a Vedic school in India. I was trained in the tradition of Swami Sivananda. I received a solid foundation in scriptures, including Vedas, Upanishads, Bhagavad Gita, and Yoga Sutras (to name a few).
My deep search for knowledge also led me to study modern sciences like anatomy, physiology, and western philosophy with pioneer teachers of new innovations like Paul Grilley (founder of Yin Yoga).
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.
At Arhanta, we don't just teach yoga. We teach you how to reach your potential, deepen your knowledge, build your confidence, and take charge of your life.
Worldwide accredited certification
Our Yin Yoga Teacher Training is accredited by Yoga Alliance, International Yoga Association, International Yoga Federation and The CRKBO (The Netherlands). If you are a registered with Yoga Alliance, you also earn 50 CEUs (Continuing Education Units) or CERs (Continuing Education Credits).
