I see myself first as a student, then a teacher. Some days, practice feels easy, other days it's tough - but showing up matters most. *Subko sab kuch nahi milta, jo mila hai usme khush rehna aur mehnat karte rehna hai* (Not everyone gets everything, you have to learn to be happy with what you have and keep working hard). This is about real progress, not chasing perfection. ### What This Course Is I guide a 21-day, structured Ashtanga Vinyasa journey online. We focus on connecting breath with movement, building balance in both body and mind. I bring 14+ years of practice to help you find your own way in the Ashtanga Vinyasa world. - Practice the full Primary Series daily, with breakdowns of every asana - Step-by-step tutorials for tricky poses - Learn to count vinyasas in Sanskrit and English - Build skills in cueing, prop use, and safe hands-on adjustments in yoga - Open for aspiring and current teachers, consistent students, and beginners restarting ### How It Runs We meet for live sessions on Zoom, with batches at different times to suit everyone. It’s intense but doable, and the group energy keeps things real. ### A Bit of Honest Advice If you’re brand new to yoga, you might want to do a few months of Hatha first. Not required, just a tip from someone who’s seen many journeys. ### Beyond the 21 Days Once you finish, you’ll have a solid base. If you want to keep growing, I offer advanced sadhana and mentorship for those looking to deepen or teach further. ## Highlights Browse through Ajinkya Meher's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/ajinkyameheryogashala/ashtanga-vinyasa-teacher-training-course/featured) - [Video: This is a reminder that some things take time.

Money was tight, so I trekked from Santacruz to Versova, hustling through odd jobs - newspaper boy, waiter, delivery guy, whatever came my way. Yoga pulled me out of all that. Now, I’ve got a community, confidence, and a weirdly strong bond with Bappa. Every visarjan, I let the tears go in the sea and tell him, 'You’re there, so I’m sorted.' Still get a bit of stage fear, but it’s all part of the journey, na? ### My work - **Yoga Classes Online & Offline**: I teach Hatha, Ashtanga Vinyasa, and run strength training camps from my Mumbai shala. - **Abhyasa & Sadhana Batches**: Beginners, intermediates, and yoga teachers all welcome. I’ll guide you to the right batch. - **Progressive Teaching Style**: We build up slowly, use props like belts and chairs, and focus on alignment and foundations. - **Community Vibe**: Less talk, more practice. It’s about being a happy practitioner, not a perfect one. - **What You Need**: For strength training, bring 3kg & 5kg dumbbells. For yoga, just your mat and dedication. ## More services from Ajinkya Meher - [Online Strength Training Program](https://mytribe.in/ajinkyameheryogashala/online-strength-training-program) · ₹1,500-4,000 per month (estimate) - [Specialized Workshops](https://mytribe.in/ajinkyameheryogashala/specialized-workshops) · ₹800-3,500 per participant per day (estimate) - [Group Yoga Classes (Online & Offline)](https://mytribe.in/ajinkyameheryogashala/group-yoga-classes-online-offline) · ₹1,800-5,000 per month (18 sessions) (estimate) ## Experts similar to Ajinkya Meher on mytribe - [Corporate & Private Group Yoga by The Yoga Tribe Studio](https://mytribe.in/theyogatribestudio/corporate-private-group-yoga) · ₹1,800-4,500 per group session (60 min) (estimate) · The Yoga Tribe Studio, Mumbai - [Yoga Teacher Training Course (YTTC) by Asan Yoga](https://mytribe.in/asanyogaindia/yoga-teacher-training-course-yttc) · ₹35-90K per 200-Hour YTTC course per person (estimate) · Asan Yoga Pune (Hinjewadi) - [Yoga Teacher Training Course (TTC) by The Yoga House](https://mytribe.in/theyogahousemumbai/yoga-teacher-training-course-ttc) · ₹35-80K per 200-hour course (estimate) · The Yoga House Studio & Cafe - [Advanced Yoga & Teacher Training by Thorat Yogashala](https://mytribe.in/shrithorat_yoga/advanced-yoga-teacher-training) · ₹7-20K per month (estimate) · Hiranandani Gardens - [Yoga Instruction by Anil Chandran](https://mytribe.in/yogabyanil/yoga-instruction) · ₹300-700 per group class (offline, 1 hour) (estimate) · Air & Asanas by Niyoshi (Santacruz West) - [Yoga Teacher Training Course (YTTC) by Aarti Purohit](https://mytribe.in/theyogartstudios/yoga-teacher-training-course-yttc) · ₹28-65K per course (estimate) · The YogArt Studio - Yoga Classes in Mumbai - [Professional Training & Certification Courses by The Ashtanga Institute](https://mytribe.in/theashtangainstitute/professional-training-certification-courses) · ₹4-25K per course (estimate) · The Ashtanga Institute of Yoga & Naturopathy - [Yoga Teacher Training Course by YogaWithRajani](https://mytribe.in/yogawithrajani/yoga-teacher-training-course) · ₹20-35K per 3-month course (estimate) · Best yoga Classes - Yogawithrajani - [Yoga Instruction by Sejal Gupta](https://mytribe.in/sejalyoga/yoga-instruction) · ₹400-1,200 per session (estimate) · SejalYoga Mumbai Office - Authorised Ashtanga Yoga Teacher - [Yoga Teacher Training Courses (YTTC) by Sayujya Yoga](https://mytribe.in/sayujyayoga/yoga-teacher-training-courses-yttc) · ₹40-75K per 200-hour course (estimate) · Sayujya Yoga ## Book To book Ajinkya Meher, message mytribe on WhatsApp: [Chat on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/916360004054?text=Hi%2C%20I'm%20looking%20for%20Ashtanga%20Vinyasa%20Teacher%20Training%20Course%20by%20Ajinkya%20Meher.)
