Meet the Course Creator
(ERYT-500 and 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, 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.

Helma- The Netherlands
“A wonderful experience! I have learned a lot, also because I am a Shiatsu therapist and not a yoga teacher. I specifically enjoyed the philosophy classes with Yogi Ram and the meditation sessions. The other teachers are also very inspiring. I am also pleased to have met so many new and wonderful people. Thank you Team Arhanta!”
