During this month spent in Arhanta`s ashram in India, I went through different stages: the happiness of learning and improving, the serenity of the surrounding nature and peace of the place, the difficulty of disciplining myself and concentrate every day, and most of all, the amazing experience of discovering every day a new piece of myself. Thanks Arhanta team, professional, helpful and tolerant. I passed through all these experiences successfully and with a lifetime pride. I feel now more than able to teach and share yoga around me. Thank you.

Arhanta school is an intense course that gave me the opportunity to learn about yoga and really feel confident in my practice and teaching. I had no idea that I would be able to learn so much within three weeks. I think it is thanks to the experience and professionalism of the teachers. I came to improve my yoga practice and I go back home with the will to begin a new job, yoga teacher. Well done and thank you very much.

I am really thankful for the experience at the Arhanta Yoga Ashram. I am astonished how much one can learn in such a short time thanks to the very good teachers and the environment here in the ashram in India. It allows to focus on yoga completely. I really liked every day here at the ashram. Time passed so quickly. Ram gave us firsthand knowledge about the traditions and yoga philosophy. I really liked that he also gave us teachings about life and personal development. Also the asana classes and the ‘ how to teach’ classes with Omkar made me grow on an physical and personal level. I had a very good time here. And I really loved the food.

At first I was quite skeptical. Becoming a teacher in one month seemed farfetched to me. Arhanta surprised me by showing me how nice it is to teach yoga. Specially the skill of correction is central in this training, it`s something that most teachers don`t seem to pay enough attention to. Being in this course gave me the confidence and the skills to be a great yoga teacher, focused on the student`s practice and guiding them instead of the other way around. Highly recommended for anyone who is ready to live deep and come out as a stronger and more knowledgeable person.

Arhanta Yoga Ashram India is located 14 km from the Khajuraho airport. I participated in Karma Yoga for 1 hour.During a yoga teacher training course, 100% attendance to all the courses is mandatory. Every body has to follow the schedule and attend to all the classes, lectures and other activities of the school.Yoga means bringing discipline to the body, mind and soul. The yoga school guarantee the maximal spiritual benefits and are a part of the yogic lifestyle.

When I came to Arhanta I thought I had prepared myself for a challenging and intensive course. But I did not know what 'intensive' meant, until I was in the middle of it. The days are fully packed with teaching and training, and it is a lot to take in. When I finished my course I was happy to leave! Yet... It has now been three months since I was there. I am a succesful yoga teacher and I find myself looking into my philosophy notes quite often. I know now that Ive learned much more than I realized. It goes much deeper than teaching yoga. I never thought I would say this, but I miss Arhanta and want to go back.

Ram, opened my eyes in many matters of my life, it will work in me forever. I have the deepest respect of all his wisdom and depth. Omkar, made my yoga practice perfect. He is the best.... He pushed me in a firm way ... I have reached my goals. His believe in me/in everybody.... is worth Gold My stay here in the ashram have changed something radically inside of me!

It was a great experience. If you want, this is the place that you can grow in yourself and you can learn a lot of things about yoga. The teachers are amazing because they are patient, professional, nice and funny. The place is completely peaceful and the room are clean and comfortable. This is a great opportunity to meet a lot of people and to compare with them and grow together.

I really enjoyed the course. It was intensive but in the best (and acceptable) way. Teachers are just great and I was never bored, even when your body is aching, head is completely full of new things, you can see your progress every day. The whole place is very nice and you have really time to be focused only on yoga. It was an amazing experience.

Arhanta Yoga has given me everything I was looking for. A quiet place in beautiful India. Isolated from the world so you can focus on the important things. Basic facilities that doesn’t feed laziness. The teachers are professional and have great teaching techniques that keeps the lectures interesting. Here I got knowledge, practice and confidence. Thank you teachers, volunteers and everyone who made this beginning of my journey amazing.

I’ve done my teacher training with Arhanta yoga and today I’m teaching classes every day, I’m so thankful to the team at Arhanta yoga as my own students appreciate the way I teach. They are thankful for the great explanation, good rhythm and focus in the classes. It’s the discipline and talented teachers at Arhanta yoga ashram that have give me those qualities. Thank you so much!

One of the most beautiful journeys of my live, 4 weeks in a world of much more silence, and stilness in myself. Hard work, beautiful people from all over the world who'm I was able to get to know a little better. Joy, laughter, tears, moments of peace and moments of struggeling. I learned a lot, not only to teach and do a good job, but also know how to correct, why a pose is good for your body and a lot about the philosophy of yoga. And beside that I also learned a lot about myself. I feel ready to teach, and I am very grateful that I had the opportunity to be in the Ashram and to share it with my group. The staf and our teachers are really inspiring people, they learn you how to believe in yourself. I will never forget it. So thank you all, namaste Marianne

Very good and professional teachers! Living in the ashram is a good way to really connect with yourself and to dedicate your time in learning. It gives you a good idea of the purpose and meaning of yoga. I learned a lot in a little time. I can recomment the courses to everyone!

Very interesting classes and professional teachers. Impressive how much we have learned in just one month. Stories that will never be forgotten... somewhere under the mango tree... So grateful and feeling blessed. Never thought I would be feeling ready and proud to teach so fast. Omkar brought great humour, pushed us to our limits and was very emphatic, except when it came to push ups, haha, you are finally forgiven Omkar. Ram is a natural born story teller. For me, the nicest course of all, because I didn’t expect it. It made me think a lot about myself, my life and my ego. I will carry all this with me for the rest of my life and share it with my children, friends and family. THANK YOU A LOT. Even though this was not always an easy journey, I think I understand the aim of yoga now.

The more time passes, the more I appreciate that i did the teacher training course. It serves as a great foundation for your own practice and feel like a lot of the things we learned really stuck with me because of the intensity of the course and the competency of the teachers. The location is also very interesting. You're really far out into the country, surrounded by rural India, but also only half an hour away from an airport and a very urban Khajuraho. Anyone commited to this kind of experience will gain a lot by doing the course.

Before coming to the ashram I had little expectations of me becoming a yoga teacher. I wanted to improve my own knowledge and practice, but I didn’t think I would have the courage to become a teacher. After doing this course many of my insecurities are gone, I am still not sure whether I will teach, but I find it amazing how much I have learned and grown in these four weeks. The course isn’t easy, and will take you out of your comfort zone many times, but in the end it is so worth it. Thank you so much Arhanta team, for this unique experience, may you continue to inspire many others on their yoga/spiritual path.

it was an amazing experience, hard work and dedication. the lessons of the teachers were very good. I recommend arhanta yoga for the best experience thanks for this journey it gave me a brother and a great friendship hahaha omkar your a good teacher and after all became a great friend and brother

I can really recommend the Arhanta yoga training program. By very good ‘how to teach’ yoga classes you learn everything in theory and practice about teaching yoga. By staying in the ashram you not only learn by theory but also by experience the ‘five points of yoga’, which creates a very good fundament for practicing and teaching yoga.

I enjoyed very much the "hard" time in the Ashram - sure with some ups and downs! It was a great, intense and a very interesting experience!!! I have learnt much more about Yoga and me than i thought before! The practical classes were very good, we have learnt very well how to teach and especially how to correct in the right way. The area is the perfect location for an ashram, so silent, that is great, also the possibility to practise Yoga outside. I liked hearing and learning the main parts of the yoga philosophy - Who am I?- and to concentrate 1 month on this. The food - lunch and dinner - was good. Thank you for all !!!!!!!

Thank you all!!! I had the best month with Arhanta in India. I love the system in which they teach. I really enjoy the good stories of yoga philosophy with Ram. The food helped me to keep my energy up and to lose weight. Teacher Omkar helped me to improve my practice and way of teaching. But most important, he helped me to not lose my spirit. It was just one asana class with him and everything would come back to be 100% perfect.

This course has been absolutely amazing, I have enjoyed my time here so much. The grounds staff and cooks are all friendly a help were they can. The teachers are fantastic, they pass on a lot of information and have each students best interest at heart. They are always available for any questions or concerns you may have and help where they can. The classes are very interesting and I have learnt so much. We have had some amazing laughs in the class and some great stories have been told. We have also been encouraged to go beyond what we thought our limits maybe. Absolutely one of the best thing I have done is come here. You feel like you are part of the family as soon as you arrive, thank you so much and see you again soon!

First of all I would like to say “thank you! (-:”, to Ram, Omkar, Karen and Marijke. And to the staff in the kitchen, the guards and gardeners. I am very happy that my intuition brought me here. On the one hand I really learned a lot and I grew much more than I expected, on the other hand I could also heal a lot on all levels of ‘me’. This TTC is perfect for you when you come with a clear goal and focus to be ready to teach a class with confidence, accepting and adapting to the demanding schedule of the days, which made this experience even more authentic. Also if you want to understand or heal yourself on deeper levels, set your clear intentions and you will have the possibility here because you will get to your limits and get confronted with inner conflicts or issues going on. That’s why I would also clearly state, that this course requires good physical, mental and emotional health and stability. I do not recommend it to people having a lot of troubles or problems going on, whether it's mentally or physically, as it can be too overwhelming and exhausting. Ram played the role of a strict teacher very well. Omkar was teaching with patience and humour, always very professional. Marijke and Karen were always giving their best to support and available to us in times we were having trouble physically or mentally. I was completely fine with the food provided, even though sometimes I was missing some nuts or seeds, as it was always vegan food and maybe my body was asking for more protein. Or it was just my mind which may be slightly attached to nuts ?? I appreciate it very much that we can still keep contact with Omkar and Ram to ask them, whenever we have any questions or doubts. And I gratefully can say that I met wonderful souls here and could learn from each of them. To learn as a group was also something that got really encouraged, and that strengthened the group and each individual during the last weeks. Thank you. Namaste.

I really enjoyed the method of teaching of the course. We can see our development and growth day by day. It is an intense experience and at the same time with pleasure and good moments. The teachers are one of the strongest points of the course, they know how to transmit the content in an easy and clear way. Now I am confident to start my classes!

ARHANTA has been one of the best experiencies of my life! In the heart of India in an oasis of peace and quiet with extraordinary teachers, it has the opportunity to discover the real path of yoga and meet yourself. The course has a very good structure, as the asanas as the theory as well. The staff is very professional and careful. I have learned a lot, much more than what I was expecting. I recommend this great experience to anyone wants to deepen and understanding what yoga really means, for himself/herself or for teaching. I just would like to say thank you! OM SHANTI !

The Yoga Teacher Training Course from Arhanta is pretty intense, but totally worth it. I came here to deepen my own practice and work on myself, but it became so much more than that. Now I am really considering to become a yoga teacher. It is genuinely true that you can become a yoga teacher in four weeks only, because of the high level trained teachers. I really liked the teachings of Ram and Omkar, they know what they are doing and they do it with so much passion and dedication. They enjoy teaching us and are strict, but really kind. It was a journey with ups and downs for me, but I have more confidence now. Besides everything it was so precious to meet all this mind-like people with all their own stories and motivation. I would totally recommend doing this training with Arhanta.

The teachers here are 100% there for you. The setup of the course is incredible. You can see and feel yourself progressively improve. It is so much more than ‘just’ a yoga TT course. Things you get the opportunity to face and learn from go way beyond any other course I have ever done. The assistants help where they can and both Ram & Omkar are fully tuned into the group giving it all they need. I would recommend it to anyone who is ready to dive into yoga or is ready to look at him- or herself. Thank you for all lessons given, I am still benefitting from it from moment to moment.

The Arhanta Yoga TTC has a straightforward and clear approach to training asan teachers. The program is set up so that you have very few distractions and can experience a taste of the lifestyle that the philosophy describes. Daily asan practice ensures that everyone walks away stronger and more aware of their bodies than they were before, and a variety of meditations, chants and pranayam help each student to turn their focus further inwards. Ram is a very good teacher. It’s clear that he knows what he is talking about and he gives his lectures in a funny and engaging way. The rest of the teachers were also incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and approachable. Toward the end of the course, Ram gives a lecture about how to start a studio or find a yoga job. He draws from his own personal experience and leaves nothing out. This teacher training has make me feel confident about my ability to teach, find a job and implement parts of the yoga philosophy into my own life. I am so grateful that I had the opportunity to spend a month among such amazing people. I would recommend Arhanta Yoga to anyone, and I hope to return as a volunteer or to eventually participate in the ATTC!

I really appreciate this course and I am glad I came. I had some doubts because of my age, but this course restored my self confidence. It made me realise I am physically capable of things which I thought were not for me. It helped me to bring back my learning skills and reminded me of the priorities I had forgotten (yam, niyam). This course is intense with a huge amount of information, and days are busy, but everything is useful and cohesive, giving a very good insight of what yoga practice should look like. The teachers are very professional, helpful and cheerful, which really contributes to the nice atmosphere, whilst building a nice team spirit between the students. I am really grateful for what this course brought me already

I came here to get the education, but mostly to become better at yoga myself and I am truly satisfied! Before I came here I was not very good, not flexible. But now I feel great! I can do a lot of poses and I have been able to follow my own changes all the time. The teachers here are incredible, they give you personal attention – I got an injury in my shoulders and they were there for me the whole time. Now I don’t feel anything. The classes are taught with humor and in a level that everyone can understand. The teachers are very open for questions and we often have interesting discussions in the classes, both in practice and philosophy. I will never forget this place ??

I did my first teacher training at Arhanta Yoga India and it (cliche but true) changed my life completely! Omkar Jain has been one of the best teachers I ever had and I made friends for life. An unforgettable experience, I hope to return as a volunteer again at some point. Namaste!

This teacher training course was a great adventure. Not only do I feel comfortable and exited to teach Hatha beginners (or open) classes when I get home. I also went on a beautiful journey towards myself, feeling more comfortable, peaceful about the path I am walking. The teachers are all passionate and never lacking in humour. The course, structure, though strict and tough at times, made this month the best you can expect form a 200hrs training course. I will cherish this beautiful time and all the people that made it possible, always. Thank you Arhanta for being part of my path!

I came to learn a little bit more about myself and yoga. With my head in the clouds not knowing what I wanted or what my future would be. Being here gave me a lot of clarity about what I want. Teaching in what I really like and yoga is so much more than getting your mind in balance and a beautiful body (inside and outside). I had some hard times, days but at the end it’s all worth it ya learn a lot and the people you met are all like minded friends for life I would say. Everywhere during my further travel I remembered things comming back in my memory from the course and I get so much more consciousness about everything! The knowledge becomes part of me during further experiences. Thank you Arhanta yoga team! Top teachers!!

Arhanta Yoga is a really professional organisation. The surrounding of the ashram in India was mindblowing. The ashram has a calming effect on your mind because there is no distraction or noise. The food was perfect and healthy prepared, nutritious and tasty. The local staff were doing a great job. They took care of us (felt very safe), kept the ashram clean, and were always friendly. The teachers and assistants were really helpful and professional. The Arhanta learning/teaching system works really well. First time of teaching a small group during the teacher training was hard because I felt really insecure. Just a few weeks later I was able to teach a class with a smile on my face. They brought us out of our comfort zone. Thank you Arhanta. This course was life changing.

I think it is a very complete course, taking into account the little time (one month) for so much knowledge to be acquired. I liked the teachers a lot, that apart from knowing a lot, made us feel very comfortable, because they are so nice. The food was great, a very simple and perfect diet for so much daily practice. I also liked the accommodation for its authenticity as an ashram; I would like to thank the nice attention from the local workers every day so kind and respectful. It has been a really positive experience.

The course is perfect to get the base of teaching yoga. Every class is progressive and helps you to improve step by step. A lot of information is given, but it is not so difficult to remember, because it is not just theory, but also put into practice. The teachers are great, they are open-minded and help you whenever you need it. They really want you to progress, so they are supportive and reassuring. Overall it was a very good and interesting course with nice teachers.

Yes yes yes! Go Go Go!?? I started this course, looking for adventure, a new experience and insights that supplement my life back home. I just wanted to step out of the everyday life and learn more about yoga. But then.. I found more than I could wish for. The teacher training gave me so much new knowledge and actually made me want to become a yoga teacher (I didn't expect thissss) because of the beautiful philosophy behind it and the step by step approach they used to make us comfortable with teaching. The ashram life was an experience I will never forget. If you want to expierence yoga in its purest form, choose for Arhanta!??

This is an amazing life experience. Arhanta Yoga is much more than just learning how to do and teach yoga poses - it’s about the true meaning of yoga and how to change your view and way of thinking ???

Professionalism and fun, perfectly balanced. A lot of practice which makes you feel confident teaching yoga by the end of the course. Nice food, neat accommodations and gorgeous location. Intense and very interesting philosophy and anatomy classes. Very complete course in a practical and a theoretical way. It gives you the necessary tools to start teaching with confidence and with knowledge of classical Hatha Yoga. Flavia

The TTC really fulfilled all my expectations. The location, the food, the content and the schedule appeared to be as I thought a serious TTC should look like. Nothing to complain about, although sometimes challenging. I want to emphasize especially the high quality of both content and methods provided. Being a sport scientist and a certified personal trainer, I attended many seminars and workshops in Europe. Yet, the high standards and quality of teaching and organization by team Arhanta surprised me positively. To me it was a great experience! Apart from that, Ram and Omkar are two extremely nice guys that not only teach their subjects very well, but also appeared to be always open and approachable to any kind of personal issue. They are definitely in the right job! In brief: If you come to Arhanta, you will learn yoga asanas, how to teach them, you will study yogic philosophy and anatomy, and , maybe most important: you will get to know a bit better who you really are - surrounded and supported by brilliant people!

I am happily surprised about the amazing results in very short time. It is nice to see so much progress in your own teaching skills and personal growth. I learned a lot of yoga and stuff these days. It makes your own practice and alignments much better and it is amazing to see what kind of asanas you are able to do. This course improves a lot of those things. And I really loved the crazy push-ups from Omkar!??
