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

Our online course allows you to study at your own leisure and schedule your study time to suit your personal routine. Another benefit is that there are no deadlines for completing the course.

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.

Unlimited Personal Support

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.

Lifelong Access

Over time we tend to forget details. Our online course gives you lifelong access to log in and review the concepts anytime. All material is yours to keep forever.

More Affordable

 Our online course costs less than half of the onsite course. You also save on travel, lodging, and commuting expenses.

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.

Our Knowledge - Excellence

We keep our yoga practice traditional, but we do not allow tradition to limit us. We continue to study modern, science-based anatomy, physiology, and developments in the fitness and exercise fields, so you receive accurate, evidence-informed knowledge of the highest standard.

Our Approach - Empowering

In reality, the concept of “one alignment for all” can turn up empty results. We believe everyone is unique in their body, mind, and capabilities. Therefore, we teach you how to understand your students individually and provide personalized alignments and adjustments.

Our Commitment - Integrity

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.

Our Professionalism - High Standards

At Arhanta, you can be assured of the highest professional standard in training, communication & support. We believe in win-win, so all our courses come with a rock-solid 30-day money-back guarantee.

(ERYT-500 & YACEP with 50,000+ hours of teaching experience)

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.

Dankbaar voor deze fijne opleiding! Posted 1 month ago

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!

Online training courses review - Yoga Nidra course Posted 2 months ago

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.

Clear, instructive formation in Yoga Nidra Posted 10 months ago

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.

Yoga Nidra Online Course Posted 1 year ago

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 can't wait to take my next course! Posted 1 year ago

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.

Good Nidra Course Posted 1 year ago

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.

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.

Good Course, Knowledgeable and Authentic Teachers Posted 1 year ago

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.

Great experience as online training Posted 1 year ago

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.

In many courses, these options are not available. I am extremely grateful to Arhanta Academy.
