Leuk stukje over mijn yogareis op de socials van Arhanta Yoga Ashrams & Online Academy waar ik mijn hatha en yin yoga opleidingen heb gevolgd. Nog steeds erg dankbaar voor yoga🙏🏻🧘🏼♀️
Meet one of our amazing graduates, who beautifully shares her yoga journey:
"I’m 25 now, but my yoga story started when I was about 13. Back then, I practiced yoga at home with videos because we didn’t have a local studio. Around 17 or 18, a yoga studio finally opened in my town, and I began working there doing administration while exploring different styles like Yin Yoga and Hatha Yoga. I especially loved Hatha Yoga, attending classes 1-2 times a week. My teacher mentioned he trained at Arhanta Yoga in India, and I admired his teaching so much that I dreamed of studying there one day. Yoga gave me peace and silence in a hectic life.
I always say: I started yoga because of the cool poses, but I stayed for the philosophy and peace behind it. The poses are now just a bonus.
During COVID, I began Arhanta’s online Yin Yoga course. I loved the stillness Yin brought and how I could deepen into poses by relaxing. As a student with limited funds, the online course was perfect—affordable and accessible during the pandemic. Afterward, I started teaching weekly classes at the local studio, but after a couple of years, I took a break from teaching.
�Two years ago, I had the chance to start my own yoga business. I partnered with another teacher to hold weekly classes, and eventually, I opened my own space. Today, I teach yoga three times a week, with Yin Yoga classes being especially popular.
Last year, I fulfilled a long-time dream by completing Arhanta’s 200-hour online Hatha Yoga course, which allowed me to teach Hatha Yoga while balancing work commitments.
Now, at Yogastudio Om Shanti, we’ve built a beautiful community. We host brunches and even yoga on the beach when the weather is nice. I’m already planning to further my knowledge with a physical 300-hour course at Arhanta.
What I love most about Arhanta is the authentic, in-depth teachings and how I can revisit all the online materials whenever I want. The teachers are so supportive and always quick to respond to my questions.
This journey has been incredible, and I can’t wait to keep learning and growing!"
