The Ashtanga Institute of Yoga & Naturopathy

The Ashtanga Institute has been established to provide holistic health services to people in India and Abroad. Today, there are many yoga centres across India but very few provide health solutions. Allopathic medicines create many side effects in the long run and treat symptoms rather than the root cause.

We always wanted to provide very low cost solutions to everyone using Natural methods to treat root causes of the diseases instead of treating symptoms. Dr. Sandeep Dongre left has plush job abroad to serve the people and established this Yoga & Naturopathy centre 

Today lot of yoga centres are mushrooming and yoga trainers are produced just by a training for a month or so. Such trainers are causing more harm than benefits to the practitioners. We at The Ashtanga Institute have highly qualified teachers who have done various certification courses and their Bachelors / Masters in Yoga. We analyse needs of every student and guide them as per their needs and capacity. To make sure that old traditional methods of Yoga are not lost and in fact put in use, we have designed specific practices and courses
