A truly positive experience that I wish I had done ten years ago". Shelly White, England I am so thankful that I came to Arhatna ashram to learn to how to teach and develop my practice. Our teachers gave us the true knowledge of Yoga in its authentic original form. My understanding of Yoga has come to a whole new level and I am inspired to love better and to be the person I want to be. I really enjoyed the simple ashram atmosphere and the closeness between all the students and teachers. It was very supportive and caring environment. I am proud of all of us for accomplishing our dream to teach and look forward to seeing where our paths will take us, thank you." Michelle Bunney, Canada I came here as a Yoga teacher already but I am going home as a more experienced and more confident teacher. I would highly recommend this program for anyone who has been teaching or who wants to teach." Wendy Henshaw, USA  I had a really great time at Arhanta teacher training, I really enjoyed everything in this experience. I was happily surprised about the accommodation, food and most of all the quality of course was excellent. The teachers were here for us, to support us, motivate us and answer all our questions. I feel that the whole group (students and teachers) became like a big family. I would recommend this course to anybody interested in learning and experiencing classical Yoga." Sandra, France "The Arhanta YTTC gave me a beautiful foundation for a career in teaching yoga. It gave me access to a great wealth of knowledge, along with the practical skills to implement it.
