Yin Yoga Teacher Certification
Yin Yoga targets deep layers of connective tissue in our bodies—layers that feel and work differently for each of us. In this Yin Yoga Teacher Training, Dr. Ram Jain shares his 26 years of teaching experience and anatomical knowledge, showing you how to practice and teach Yin Yoga for all levels. Having trained over 21,000 teachers since 1998, he combines traditional yoga knowledge with the latest scientific research to guide both practitioners and aspiring teachers in Yin.
This online training builds your foundation of Yin Yoga from day one. Starting with foundational principles, you'll understand the history of Yin, its purpose, and how it works with our deeper tissues and skeletal systems. With Dr. Ram’s guidance, you’ll study 65 Yin Yoga poses in detail, learning how different body types experience each pose, which modifications work, and the proper use of props. This Yin Yoga Teacher Training also covers essential but often overlooked skills—like how to access the right depth in poses and create sequences for different levels.
Arhanta’s Yin Yoga Teacher Training is online and self-paced, but still gives you the complete support and active community to deepen your skills and experience. During regular live sessions, you’ll get the chance to ask Dr. Ram about specific poses or teaching challenges, whether it's working with knee pain or helping anxious students find comfort in stillness. This 50-hour Yin training is also fully accredited by Yoga Alliance, counting toward your continuing education hours.

what Students are saying
Canay
Turkey
"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!"
Monica

"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!"
Florence

"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 50-hours Yin Yoga training."
Meet Dr. Ram Jain,
Namaste,
I am Dr. Ram Jain, 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 21000 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.
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.
