## About Go Deeper: Advanced Asana & Ashtanga

In these Sadhana batches, we move past basic poses to work on inversions, arm balances, and deep backbends using props like belts and chairs to ensure safe progress. My classes are limited to small groups, which allows me to provide personal manual adjustments and the spotting you need to safely push your boundaries without fear.

Advanced yoga isn't about being flexible enough to show off; it is about having the discipline to show up for your practice every single day. My Sadhana batches are designed for students who already have a solid foundation and want to deepen their understanding of Ashtanga Vinyasa. 

We focus heavily on the 'how'—how to transition into a handstand, how to engage the core for backbends, and how to use the wall as a teacher for Pincha Mayurasana. You will find that I don't just instruct from the front of the room. I walk around, correct your posture, and help you understand where your body is holding tension. 

Whether you join us in-studio at Andheri West or Malad West, or connect via our live Zoom sessions, the expectation is the same: consistency. We spend a lot of time on hip openers and twists, which helps prepare the body for the more demanding series. This class is for those who are ready to move from 'doing' yoga to 'practicing' yoga. Remember what I often tell my students: subko sub kuch nahe milta, jo mila he usme khush rahena sikna hey. We practice to get stronger, but we accept exactly where our body is today.

## About Ajinkya Meher

I used to be the shy kid hiding in the corner of the classroom, but yoga gave me the confidence to stand tall. I don't see myself as a teacher here; I'm just a practitioner sharing what I've learned along the way. My goal is to help you find your own rhythm, whether you're just learning to walk in your practice or ready to fly.
