“I am in the middle of my YTT 200 hours (not at arhanta) and realized that there is a lot of philosophy in yoga which really has to sink in. I saw this online course and just tried it to compare the teachings and find a way to really understand it. Well this one worked!! Al the stories and the way is is explained did the trick to sink in! Thanx Ram!
“Ram’s lessons are full of old Indian stories, that serve as an example of the subjects. Through these stories, it becomes even easier to understand and remember everything! The information is very true to tradition, something that often lacks in Western Teacher Trainings.”
“The lessons are clear, Ram explains very well and use a lot of stories to illustrate which makes the learning absolutely great. I learnt a lot, and much much more and in a more traditional way in this course than in my yoga teacher training I did 4 years ago with another school. I can’t recommend enough this Arhanta yoga philosophy course!”

Course Instructor
Dr. Ram Jain, PhD (Yoga)
(ERYT 500 & YACEP with over 50,000 hours of Teaching Experience)
I am 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, and discover the life-changing gift of yoga for themselves.
After a long and difficult period, I found my purpose when I began teaching yoga, and I love to help people find their joy 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 in a safe and effective manner.
Growing up in India, I assisted many yoga teachers, and I always felt something was missing in how they trained yoga teachers. It is one thing to have a good self-practice and another to have the skill needed to help others.
So I decided to create high standards yoga teacher training courses that will be to the point and will teach the practical skills essential to train and teach efficiently. 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!
This passion to help others succeed drives all of us at Arhanta.
At Arhanta, we don’t just teach yoga. We teach you how to reach your potential, develop your skills, confidence, and take control of your life.
