About Professional Training & Certification Courses
What You Really Get From Us
I started The Ashtanga Institute because just knowing asanas doesn’t mean you’ll make it as a yoga teacher. Most quit early, not because they don’t love yoga, but because building a career is tough. Pata hai kaise hota hai asli struggle? (You know what real struggle looks like?) It’s not just about getting certified - it’s about survival and growth.
How We Train You
- Our courses mix traditional yoga with modern science for real skills, not just theory. You learn everything from advanced asanas, shuddhi kriya (cleansing techniques), and pranayama, to how to actually get clients and run a studio.
- We don’t skip the boring stuff: You’ll get tips for marketing and managing your work, because career banana padta hai, certificate se kuch nahi hota (you have to build a career, certificate alone isn’t enough).
Course Options
- Yoga instructor accreditation - International Yoga Alliance multistyle training (100/200/300 hours) and government recognized yoga courses like YCMOU diploma or AYUSH certification.
- Naturopathy certification program - Diploma in Yoga & Naturopathy, massage therapy, and Sujok therapy.
- Face yoga teacher training and advanced nutrition courses for those who want to specialize.
What’s Different With Us
- Up to 5 certificates per course, printed study material, welcome kits, session recordings.
- Real hands-on training, internships, and personal mentoring. Not just online videos.
- Flexible options: Live Zoom classes (ghar baithe seekho - learn from home), offline in Navi Mumbai, mixed-mode, or residential batches in Rishikesh.
Here, you don’t just learn yoga - you learn how to make it your profession.

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.
