Mahesh Mayekar

I am a dance and yoga educator with over 15 years of experience in teaching, choreographing, and guiding students across different age groups and fitness levels. My journey in dance began with Bharatanatyam, which I formally studied at Gandharva Mahavidyalaya. Alongside my classical roots, I have trained extensively in Hip Hop, Contemporary, and Bollywood styles, blending tradition and modernity in my choreography.

In addition to dance, I am deeply passionate about yoga and wellness. I hold an Advanced Yoga Teacher Training certification, which has allowed me to combine artistic movement with holistic fitness. My approach is rooted in the understanding that both dance and yoga not only enhance physical health but also instill discipline, confidence, and a sense of expression.

I currently serve as the dance teacher at Podar International School, Powai, where I have been training students for the past 10 years. Parallel to that, I manage and operate my own dance and fitness centers—The Mash-Up Dance Academy and Jagrut Fitness Studio. These centers, located in Thane, Kanjurmarg, Ghatkopar, and Powai, have grown into vibrant spaces where learners of all levels come together to explore movement and wellness.

As a choreographer, I strive to create performances that are energetic, meaningful, and technically sound. My students regularly participate in competitions, school programs, and stage shows. Many of them have gone on to pursue dance professionally or incorporated yoga into their everyday lifestyle. I also take pride in conducting customized classes, workshops, and certification programs for those who want to deepen their skills or start their own journey in dance or yoga.

Throughout my career, I’ve received several accolades at state and national-level dance competitions, which have fueled my passion further. But beyond awards, what truly matters to me is witnessing the transformation in my students—the way they build confidence, grace, strength, and focus through their practice.

I offer both offline and online classes, catering to individual learners and group sessions based on convenience and goals. Whether you’re just starting out, preparing for an event, or looking to build a sustainable fitness and artistic practice, I provide structured, goal-oriented sessions. I also offer certification support for students looking to pursue dance or yoga professionally. My aim is to create a safe, inspiring space where movement becomes a powerful tool for growth and self-expression.
