About Featured
If you are tired of generic fitness trends, you need to see how we practice at The Ashtanga Institute. We do not believe in shortcuts or quick fixes. Whether you are recovering from a chronic condition or training to become a professional yoga teacher, every session here focuses on anatomy, breath, and deep alignment. You are not just joining a gym; you are joining a lineage.
Yoga is a complete science. In our Airoli studio, we strip away the marketing hype to return to the roots—traditional Ashtanga and Hatha practices, combined with modern therapeutic needs.
Our approach is holistic because that is how the body works. We do not just teach asanas; we integrate shuddhi kriya (cleansing), pranayama (breathwork), and specific diet guidance. If you are struggling with chronic issues like back pain or diabetes, our therapeutic sessions use props like ropes, chairs, and bricks to provide safe traction and mobility improvement.
For those looking to go deeper, we run intensive Teacher Training Courses (TTC) that go beyond the mat. We teach you the anatomy, the philosophy, and, crucially, how to build a sustainable career as a teacher. We have seen 95% of trainers quit within a year because they lack business skills; we fix that by teaching you how to run a studio, market your classes, and manage finances.
Our studio is a vibrant community. From celebrating festivals and trekking together to setting world records with over 1600 students, this is a space where practice becomes life. Whether you are a beginner looking for weight loss, a senior citizen seeking mobility, or a professional aiming to master advanced backbends, you will find a batch and a mentor here.

I am Dr. Sandeep Dongre. I started this institute to keep yoga raw and real, away from the textbook-only approach. When you step into my studio, we work on your body and your mindset, ensuring you walk out feeling more capable than when you walked in.
