When you see over 1600 students performing Veerabhadrasana in unison, or groups holding Utkatasana to highlight mindful phone usage, you realize this is not just exercise—it is a collective movement toward discipline. We share these milestones to show you that if our students can push past their perceived limits, you can too, whether you are here for weight loss, therapy, or professional training. ### Why We Push for Excellence Many people think yoga is just about flexibility, but at The Ashtanga Institute, we view it as a discipline that challenges the mind and body. We organize these record-breaking attempts—like performing 155 asanas on ice blocks or synchronization drills—to wake up the dormant potential in our students. **The Reality of Our Records:** - **Beyond the Mat:** We don't just hold records for the certificate. We chose Utkatasana (Chair Pose) to highlight our addiction to mobile screens and the need for physical awareness. - **Inclusive Success:** Our records involve students ranging from children to senior citizens. This proves that yoga is not limited by age; it is limited only by our willingness to practice. - **Expertise in Practice:** From our Airoli studio to our global online community, we bring the same intensity to every class. Dr. Sandeep Dongre’s PhD-backed guidance ensures that every stretch is purposeful, anatomically correct, and deeply rooted in tradition. Whether you are looking to become a certified yoga teacher or simply want to improve your health through naturopathy, these achievements are a testament to the rigorous, high-quality instruction you will receive here. We invite you to be part of a community that consistently sets the bar higher for themselves. ## About The Ashtanga Institute I am Dr. Sandeep Dongre, and I founded The Ashtanga Institute to strip away the fluff and teach yoga that is living, breathing, and effective. We focus on real results—whether that is mastering complex asanas or healing chronic pain through naturopathy—because yoga should be a lifelong practice, not a weekend hobby.
