what Students are saying
“Thank you very much! Our teacher explained yin yoga poses, philosophy, and how to be a teacher deeply. It was easy to follow and included all the necessary information. Asking my questions with messages helped me a lot. I wish all the Yin Classes were like topic six under the sequencing module, a full-length class with our teacher. His approach was based on anatomy rather than meridians. Namaste!”
Canay

“The course was very informative, many bonuses that other courses don’t have. The teacher Ram is very thorough when he explains with a humorous twist sometimes. The team was always very helpful and quick to respond to my message, this was a great experience! I can strongly recommend taking this trainer class!”
Monica
Sweden
“Video support for all classes felt as if I was there. Detailed written courses on all subjects seen during the classes. Quiz exercises after each chapter to evaluate our understanding and knowledge level. Explanations are very easy to understand for everyone. Their teaching method is simple and clear. I highly recommend this 75-hours Yin Yoga training.”

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.

Our Yin Yoga training is perfect for anyone passionate about practicing or teaching Yin Yoga. This includes:
- Yoga teachers who want to offer Yin Yoga classes
- Practitioners who love Yin Yoga and want to advance their skills and knowledge
- Experienced instructors looking to continue their education or gain new insights
- New instructors looking for guidance and support
- Educators from a similar line of work (school teachers, gym/pilates instructors) looking to add Yin classes to their work field
How long does this 75-hour online Yin Yoga Teacher Training take to complete?
This is a 75-hour Yin Yoga Teacher Training. Because the course is self-paced, you can complete it quickly or spread it out over several weeks. Most students finish in about 2 to 6 weeks while studying part-time, but you can move through the lessons at a pace that suits your schedule and learning style.
When does this training start and end?
This course is self-paced, with no deadlines or fixed timings. You can start and complete it at your convenience.
What can I do after this course?
After this Yoga Alliance certified program, you will have a strong foundation in the theory and practical training of Yin Yoga. You can work full-time or part-time as a yoga teacher at a professional studio, or you can run your own classes as a yoga business owner.
Will this course certify me as a Yin Yoga instructor?
Yes, you will receive a Yin Yoga instructor/teacher certification upon completion, accredited by the Yoga Alliance, International Yoga Association, International Yoga Federation, and The CRKBO (Netherlands).
Do you need to be certified to teach Yin Yoga?
There is no legal requirement to be certified to teach Yin Yoga. However, completing a certified training program is highly recommended to ensure you can teach it safely and effectively. A Yin Yoga certification also demonstrates to potential employers and students that you are qualified and meet the high standards set by the Yoga Alliance.
Can I teach after just 75 hours of training?
Yes, even though this course is only 75 hours, our graduates share that they actually learn more in this time than they would have in two years of Yin Yoga practice at home. This is because the structure of our training allows you to dedicate your energy solely to yoga.
However, if you want to teach, a 200-hour yoga teacher training course in any other style (Hatha Yoga) is generally recommended. A 200-hour YTT gives you a wide range of general yoga knowledge, while this course specifically focuses on developing your skills in teaching Yin Yoga professionally.
Is this online yin yoga teacher training accredited by Yoga Alliance?
Yes. This 75-hour online Yin Yoga Teacher Training is accredited by Yoga Alliance. Registered Yoga Teachers can use it toward 75 hours of continuing education, subject to Yoga Alliance requirements.

Yes, we are a Registered Yoga School with worldwide accreditations from various yoga associations. With our certificate, you are eligible to buy yoga teacher insurance.
What's the difference between Yin Yoga and Restorative Yoga?
Yin Yoga is a gentle, passive style of yoga, popularized by Paul Grilley. Principles of Yin Yoga are very different from the principles of Restorative Yoga. Read more here: Yin Yoga versus Restorative Yoga–What Are the Differences and Similarities?
What makes this training different from other online yin yoga courses?
Unlike many online yin yoga courses, Arhanta’s training combines traditional teaching lineage, detailed anatomy, practical sequencing, live support, and lifetime access. The course is designed not only to help you complete a certification, but to help you teach Yin Yoga with clarity, confidence, and safety.
Is this course suitable for beginners as well as certified teachers?
Yes. The course is designed for both dedicated practitioners and yoga teachers. Beginners can build a strong foundation in Yin Yoga, while certified teachers can use the training to deepen their knowledge, improve sequencing, and earn continuing education hours.

Yes. This 75-hour training is recognized for continuing education through Yoga Alliance for eligible registered teachers. Students should always verify the latest requirements directly with Yoga Alliance.
How is this course different from shorter online yin yoga courses?

Can I take this course even if I do not want to teach professionally?
Yes. Many students join to deepen their personal practice, understand Yin Yoga in more depth, and learn how to use props, modifications, and sequencing safely.
How does this course compare with a residential yoga teacher training in India?
This online training gives you flexibility, lifetime access, and self-paced study, while a residential yoga teacher training in India offers full immersion and daily ashram experience. The right choice depends on your lifestyle, schedule, and learning preference.
What kind of support do I receive during the course?
Students receive access to course materials, discussion support, live sessions, teacher guidance, and ongoing access to lessons for review after completion.

I am not very flexible, is it a problem?
Everyone experiences challenges, it is completely normal. A flexible mind is more important than a flexible body. The program will show you how to work through different challenges with the right variations and modifications.
Can I do this course without previous yoga education or experience?
Yes, this program does not require any previous education. It’s structured as a foundation Yin Yoga course, providing you with the most important principles and skills required to teach Yin Yoga to students of all levels. All you need is a genuine interest in yoga. We recommend a regular practice of at least one year, but it is accessible to both complete beginners and experienced instructors alike.
I don't understand English well, can I follow the course?
