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.

Our Teaching Approach

Benefit from 5 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 keep to the traditional root of yoga teachings, but we are not sectarian or demonical. My hunger for knowledge also led me to study modern sciences like anatomy, physiology, and western philosophy with pioneer teachers of new innovations.

We believe a teacher's role is to help the students to reach their goals. We have learnt that every student is unique in their physical capabilities, personal goals, and motivations. Therefore we prioritize personal guidance and understanding our student's needs.

This also reflects in our yoga asana teaching; we don't believe in one alignment for all, as every person's body is different, and everyone has his own best alignment. In the course, you will learn to understand your students, their physical capabilities, and their challenges. And how to provide suitable alignments and modifications for individuals.

At Arhanta, we don't just teach yoga. We teach you how to reach your full potential, expand your knowledge, build your confidence, and take charge of your life.

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.

Jacqueline Jansen

I was very skeptical that online teacher training could be as good as in-person training. But after completing the course, I can say that I can highly recommend the online courses. The option to re-watch the videos and retake the quizzes was a big bonus for me. Sometimes things go too fast in in-person classes, but in this online course, I could choose the playing speed, pause, and look into the manual, which helped me understand the lessons much better. I have already enrolled in another online course by Ram.
