Arhanta online trainings

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.

Ram Jain

Course Instructor,

Dr. Ram Jain, PhD (Yoga)

(ERYT 500 & YACEP with over 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 of yoga for over two decades, and discover the life-changing gift of yoga for themselves.

After a long and difficult period, I found my purpose when I began teaching yoga, and I love to help people find their joy through the work I do. Now I help people with my 23 years of knowledge and teaching experience so they can find joy and happiness through yoga in a safe and effective manner.

Growing up in India, I assisted many yoga teachers, and I always felt something was missing in how they trained yoga teachers. It is one thing to have a good self-practice and another to have the skill needed to help others.

So I decided to create high standards yoga teacher training courses that will be to the point and will teach the practical skills essential to train and teach efficiently. This is why Arhanta exists.

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!

This passion to help others succeed drives all of us at Arhanta.

At Arhanta, we don't just teach yoga. We teach you how to reach your potential, develop your skills, confidence, and take control of your life.

Pranayama & Breathwork Teacher Training Online Course

Inspiring and well designed course Posted 1 month ago
I really enjoyed my Breathwork and Pranayama course. Amazing storytelling and Ram Jain’s wonderful sense of humour made studying fun. It took me 2,5 m to complete. Even assignments were challenging, it was nice to work on my own pace. In videos I did not hear well Ashram classroom student’s comments. Assignments could include a short intro slide to be sent to test clients prior to sequence.
~ Mervi Suuronen
Depth of the breathwork course is amazing Posted 1 month ago
I have been aware of the terms and concepts discussed in this coursework It helps you connect breathworks, anatomy and subtle body elements holistically. Clears lot of my concepts. Thanks for this amazing coursework. After I have learn, practice and mastered the breathworks, looking forward to also explore other course in future.
~ Sanjay Sangani
Nice self-paced learning modules Posted 1 month ago
Great teachers who make learning informative and engaging with good learning material, and funny analogies to illustrate more complex information. Also really good communication from staff. You can direct message them and they will get back to you for assistance. I do have some feedback around practice. It would be nice to have online classes with my classmates and teacher.
~ Thi Tran
EXCELLENT! Posted 3 months ago
By FAR the easiest 5-star review I have ever given. It was truly EXCELLENT and it surpassed all of my expectations. It was very well presented and I didn't once feel overwhelmed. There was/is a lot of information involved so I'll be sure to go back over my notes and re-watch the videos. Ram is a fantastic storyteller and instructor with a superb sense of humour. THANK YOU! I'll definitely be back

Well put together, great depth, balance of philosophy and practical, I feel competent enough to instruct after this one course. I do wish the practical came after the theory but that might just be my learning style. Great job!

Maravillosa formación donde te adentras en un mundo mágico y muy profesional Posted 7 months ago
Mi inglés no es de lo mejor, pero gracias al material q ofrecen también en español, no he tenido problemas ninguno. Ram gesticula mucho al hablar, y habla muy despacio, así que para mí ideal. Las clases de Kalyani dan otra frescura femenina. Las enseñanzas son muy profesionales con mucho contenido. Hecho en falta un contacto directo o Feedback al material que entrego, pero contestan, si preguntas.
~ Antonella Brunetti
A great course Posted 7 months ago

Online Breathwork and Pranayam teacher training course Posted 11 months ago
I really enjoyed the course. Answered alot of questions that I had in my head for a while. Ram’s teachings on philosophy was thorough, wish had more on it and enjoyed a few jokes along the way. Kalyani’s teaching made me understand the breath work more and how the whole system works. She was great. Just blessed to have had the opportunity to learn from Ram & Kalyani
~ Sami Lakhani
Highly recommended courseHighly recommended course Posted 11 months ago
This course goes into depth and not only imparts anatomical knowledge, but also explains the yoga philosophy. The application is also tested in practice, which is enormously important for one's own work as a teacher. It was not my first course at Arhanta and will definitely not be my last.
~ Anja Lange

quality teaching method Posted 1 year ago
Quality of teaching is grounded in the tradition of Yoga but at the same time Ram told that is important to develop your style of teaching. So You may have a clear vision of what is Hatha Yoga and Yoga in the tradition that is rapresent.

Learnt so much in this course Posted 1 year ago
The course gives a thorough teaching of pranayama with extensive & detailed notes provided. I completed the course online but the classroom set up gives the feeling of being in the class which I enjoyed, as well as Ram's delivery style. The bonus asana classes were great too. I hope to join Arhanta on a course again in the future.

Pranayama is key for conscience and health Posted 1 year ago
Vind de cursus alomvattend, je kan cursus op eigen tempo doorlopen. Terug koppelen van opdrachten is voor mij wat lastig omdat alles naar het Engels vertaald moet worden. Dat je alle oefeningen en instructies levenslang terug kan halen is een aanwinst. Bedankt Bedankt
~ Jan van Paassen
Fantastic Posted 1 year ago
Very good course. I think it is essential to have a deep understanding of breathwork in combination with other disciplines like yoga. This course offers a great balance of philosophical backgrounds, as well as fysiological effects and practical exercises. It makes it easy to understand and forms a great fundament to expand in the realm of breathwork.
~ Jeroen Verschoor
