Our Yogashala: A Community in Practice
Yoga is a journey we take together, not a performance. In our sessions, whether in Ghatkopar or Powai, we focus on the discipline of practice and the support of a community that grows stronger with every breath.
Come join us in Ghatkopar. Don’t compromise on your health. Learn authentic yoga under professional guidance from teachers with years of experience in anatomy, philosophy, and therapy.
Our advanced Ashtanga batches are open. Here, students work on mastering asanas, achieving amazing strength and flexibility with a focus on proper alignment to prevent injuries.
Trust the process. Bend the spine and open the mind. A glimpse of our backbending practice in the studio.
We are happy to announce our new class in Hiranandani, Powai. Our classes are based on a modified Ashtanga Vinyasa series to improve strength, flexibility, and fat burning for all levels.

Students using the wall to practice Eka Pada Rajakapotasana (One-Legged King Pigeon Pose). The wall provides support to deepen the stretch in the quadriceps and psoas.

Chakrasana (Wheel Pose) is not just a backbend; it's a posture of freedom. It opens the heart and energizes the entire body. Here I am holding the pose, focusing on breath and relaxation.
Are you a beginner wanting to start your yoga journey, or a teacher looking to deepen your practice? Our regular batches in Ghatkopar East are open for all levels.
About Our Yogashala: A Community in Practice
I believe in group energy, but that never means getting lost in the crowd. In our Ghatkopar and Powai batches, I keep class sizes limited to 10–15 students so I can provide the hands-on adjustments and technical corrections your body actually needs. You won't just follow a sequence; you'll learn the 'why' behind every movement, ensuring you practice safely and effectively from day one.
More Than Just a Workout
When I say 'Kutumbakam' (the world is one family), I mean it. My classes aren't just places to sweat; they are spaces to learn. Whether you are coming to us for injury management, building strength through Ashtanga Vinyasa, or finding balance with Hatha yoga, you are part of a system that values long-term health over short-term results.
Why Practice with Us?
- Small Batches, Real Attention: We cap group sizes at 15 students. This ensures that when you are in a pose—whether it's a simple stretch or a complex inversion—I or my senior instructors can verify your alignment.
- Props as Tools: We use Iyengar-inspired props like wall ropes, blocks, and belts. These aren't shortcuts. They are tools to help you understand your body, access poses you thought were impossible, and safely deepen your practice.
- Multi-Level Learning: Beginners and advanced students train side-by-side. I teach in a way that respects your current level while challenging you to progress. You learn from the instructor, but you also learn by observing the discipline of others in the room.
Locations
We bring this practice to two locations in Mumbai:
- Ghatkopar East: Our dedicated studio space.
- Powai: Conveniently located for the Hiranandani community.
Yoga is a practice of freedom from the bondages of the mind and body. Come, join us, and let’s practice together.
Thorat Yogashala
I am Shri Thorat, and my Yogashala is built on the belief that yoga is about becoming superior to your former self, not to others. I don't care about the fancy clothes you wear; I care about your consistency and your intent. My teaching is a blend of hard discipline and the compassion to help you heal, grow, and finally find your own freedom.
