## Meet your expert

### My story

Namaste, I’m Dr. Sandeep Dongre. Yoga for me? It’s not just stretching or breathing. It’s about waking up that inner Shakti and letting it rise. I started The Ashtanga Institute to keep yoga real – not just textbook stuff, but living, breathing tradition. We do trips to Kaivalyadham, celebrate Mahashivratri, feed cows, all that. I want my students to heal, grow, and make yoga their life, not just a side thing.

### My work

- **All Our Courses**: We run Multistyle Yoga TTC (100, 200, 300 hrs), DNYS, Power Yoga, Face Yoga workshop, Massage, Sujok, Diet & Nutrition, plus regular and corporate yoga.
- **Career Guidance**: Hum sirf yoga nahi sikhate (We don’t just teach yoga), we show you how to set up your own practice and grow it, step by step.
- **Real Yoga Knowledge**: No shortcut poses here. We dive into anatomy, pranayama, shuddhi kriya, and full philosophy. Kundalini awakening course is our specialty.
- **Holistic Healing**: Tired of medicines? Try our holistic naturopathy therapy – mud, acupressure, diet changes for chronic illness. No side effects, just lifestyle change.
