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.
Benefits of Our Online Courses
Added Flexibility and Self-Paced Learning

Unlimited Access to Online Videos
This is a unique benefit of online learning. You can re-watch the videos at any speed. Allowing you to grasp concepts you could have missed in a class environment.

Our online yoga teacher training comes with unlimited teacher support. This means you can contact the teacher for support as often as you need, even after completing the course.

I am endlessly 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. Guiding them to discover the life-changing gift of yoga for themselves.
After a long and difficult period, I found my purpose when I began teaching yoga. I love to help people find bliss 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 safely and effectively.
Growing up in India, I assisted many yoga teachers, and I always felt something was missing in how yoga teachers were trained to teach. It is one thing to have good self-practice and another to have the understanding needed to help others.
So, I decided to create innovative yoga teacher training courses that are easily understood and teach the practical skills essential to train and teach effectively. 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!
We all at Arhanta are driven by a deep passion to help others succeed.
At Arhanta, we don’t just teach yoga. We teach you how to reach your potential, develop your skills, and confidence, to take control of your life.

I vividly recommend Arhanta yoga school. At first I was skeptical about an online course for Yoga Nidra but the teaching is great and the support team is answering any of our questions quickly.
First want to express my big gratitude for the way this course was organized. Video recordings from real face to face trainings are really helpful, more engaging and ofcourse with ram's sense of humor kept me really focused.
I learned a lot, but not just that. I feel motivated to do the practices (including the free asana practices) by myself.
The assignments are really helpful.
Love,Vyara
Extremely clear and easy to use platform, teachers are top notch, the training is very complete better than anything you will find around.
It's a few months now that I train myself to practise yoga Nidra as a yoga teacher. I've first read a lot and learn from videos and books. But it wasn't enough to make it completely clear for me. I have really appreciate this formation between practises, courses and possibility to ask questions, when you don't understand, to a teacher. It was really great. I highly recommand.
Met heel veel plezier heb ik deze training gevolgd en os het toe in mijn yoga lessen.
One the best online courses I have done in a while. Arhanta include prerecorded classes with teacher and students, so even though I wasn't in the class you felt like you were there in the lesson with the question / discussion topics throughout the training. The prerecorded yoga classes and Yoga Nidra were all very well done in a more traditional delivery, again which I really loved.
I absolutely loved this online training – it was very comprehensive and clearly explained. I learned a lot and really enjoyed practicing through the videos. Many thanks to the whole team. Maybe one day I’ll visit the ashram..."
I immediately began applying all the new things I was learning from this course to my yoga classes when I was only studying the first chapter. I took a Yoga Nidra certification, but I learned so much more than Yoga Nidra. I would highly recommend this Online Academy to anyone who wants to deepen their knowledge of yoga philosophy and practices.
Finding Arhanta Yoga School(on line and in person) to former me as a Yoga Teacher has been one of the best decisions i did as I started this path.. I really liked the on line version. The Yoga Nidra course is very well organized and explained. If you want to keep developing into learning, you have to try this out.
Thanks Ram and Omkar and all the staff for a very good job.
I am very happy with the course. I did the Yoga Nidra Training even though I had no other Yoga training. It was very well explained and easy to follow. The structure of the program is clear and I liked that we had assignments as homework so you do not just consume an online course but stay engaged. I can definitely recommend this training.
I am usually not a fan of online learning but the Arrant team made it a truly enjoyable experience. The materials are varied, it's engaging and I learnt a lot. I also like the idea that I can come back to the lessons and the community if I have some questions. Next level would be to give the online certified teachers an opportunity to meet in person and connect to build knowledge and community.
It took me about two months to complete this teacher training. It is well structured and organized, the teacher is really good and transfers a lot of wisdom. I can recommend it for all people who are structured themselves to complete it online without real human exchange. Some minor things are unaligned (e.g. video content and written content), but nothing that really disturbs the learning effect.
I enjoyed absolutely everything about this Yoga Nidra course - from the video lectures over the asana classes to the additional knowledge provided and the practical exercises being given. So much valuable information to use and share on and so helpful in its whole set-up and structure. Not to forget the super nice support! I really feel i learned so much in this course. Thanks a lot Team Arhanta!
Really interesting topics. Follow those classes made me want to go to India and have another course . Lovely and deep.
The Nidra Teacher Training has not only deepened my understanding of relaxation and consciousness but has also added a new dimension to my work . The combination of theory, practice, and guidance makes this training a truly special experience. It feels like a missing puzzle piece that makes my story more complete and allows me to support my clients even better. Highly recommended.
I have taken several yoga courses with physical presence, but could not find time for 200 hours of hatha yoga. That's why I chose arhantha hatha yoga online. I have not regretted it. I have taken a lot with me on my yoga path.🙏🏼
Enjoyed taking this course. Lots of useful and clear information. It’s nice that there are recordings from class so you can also hear the questions from the students. Thanks!
I learned so much I literally use DAILY.
I was not sure what to think of a online course and if this would work for me. This 50 hours course gave me the theory and tools to create a yoga nidra script and to teach a class every week.
To do this course in my own pace felt very positive and I was motivated to finish it and start to teach yoga nidra.
This is my second Arhanta online training and I'm really satisfied with my experience! There's a lot of information and Ram's teachings are really complete. I had high expectations after my first training with them and they were far exceeded, I can't wait to test myself with the scripts and teach yoga nidra!
I enjoyed this Yoga Nidra course for its flexibility and depth on the subject matter. It was very well organised and I appreciated the extra reading material and especially the fact that it also contained research papers and articles and flexibility to learn at my own pace.
Thank you to the teachers and Arhanta Yoga School for making compiling such an interesting course.
I’m very satisfied with the course. Lots of new, useful and easy to understand information. Highly recommended.
I was very impressed with the amount of information you get in this course. I have taken other Yoga Nidra courses but this one was the most comprehensive. As a person whose primary language is Spanish, I loved that I was able to access most of the information written in Spanish and turn on the subtitles. In many courses, these options are not available. I am extremely grateful to Arhanta Academy.
A great and profound vision of Yoga, I love to learn with Arhanta. Thank you very much.
I finished the in person Yoga Teacher Trainings (200- & 300 hours) from Arhanta some years ago and recently invested in a few online courses. The online courses are better than I anticipated. I really enjoyed all of them. They offer high quality content. And I love how Ram teaches information where it originated from. I really feel that's information we don't want to miss out on as yoga teachers.
I wanted a yoga for myself to continue on my personal journey, I chose Yin Yoga, and was offered Yoga Nidra. I am so happy to have accepted. I didnt expect to want to teach and share what ive learned but I do, I really do. Thank you for opening a door i didnt know i wanted opened.
I feel thankful I took this course. The course gave me well rounded information and I gained a lot of personal growth and knowledge from taking it. It is both traditional and modern. I recommend taking the full length because it took me a few months to complete.
What a great course to follow online! I was in the ashram in the Netherlands for the yin course and this was the perfect follow up! Interesting course material, nice lessons and clear notes. Can really recommend!
Anleitungen und Unterweisungen sind Sehr gut Erklärt und Beschrieben.

Na veel online research en verschillende opleidingen te hebben overwogen, heb ik gekozen voor Arhanta om mijn Yoga Nidra Teacher Training te volgen. Dankbaar voor die keuze! Het materiaal is goed opgebouwd en de concepten worden helder en met een aangenaam vleugje humor uitgelegd. Door de opnames van de live groepslessen voelde het bijna alsof ik de opleiding live mee kon volgen. Dank jullie wel!
