"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!"

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 students 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 Core Values

Our Philosophy - Authenticity

At Arhanta, we bring you authentic knowledge from a rich heritage of five generations. You will learn from a teacher who has studied yoga since childhood at traditional Indian Vedic schools. We believe that real yoga is practiced 20% on the mat and 80% in your daily life.

We are committed to the success of our students & community. We provide lifelong support, not only during the course but also after you have completed the course. Your success is our triumph.

This course is very easy to follow. It gives you the right amount of tools to learn the different poses. But also teaches you what happens in your body and mind when you practice these Yin poses.

Our Teaching Approach

Benefit from Five Generations of Yoga Heritage

Born into a family where yoga has been the way of life for five generations, I was trained in the tradition of Swami Sivananda. At the Vedic school, I received a solid foundation in scriptures, including Vedas, Upanishads, Bhagavad Gita, and Yoga Sutras (to name a few).

We are traditional but not sectarian. My hunger for knowledge also led me to study modern sciences like anatomy, physiology, and western philosophy with pioneering teachers of new innovation.

We believe a teacher's role is to help the students to reach their goals. We have learned that every student is unique in their physical capabilities, personal goals, and motivations. Therefore we put a lot of focus on individual guidance and understanding our students.

This also reflects in our yoga asana teaching, we don't believe in one alignment for all. As each body type is different, everyone has his own perfect alignment. In the course, you will learn to understand your students and their physical abilities and challenges. And how to give them the most suitable alignments and modifications.

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.
