It was four weeks of intensive, emotional, strengthening and transformational experience with the group, with the teachers and with myself.

I have highest regards for Arhanta, they stand by their values. I am so glad I cam across their website. Every teacher has a great teaching style. Ram has very deep knowledge which he explains very efficiently with humor & tales. Omkar helped me to go deep with my yoga asanas and teaching skills. I learnt more with this course in one month than I learnt in the two years long teacher training I completed earlier. I highly recommend Arhanta!
