The team
The people who teach at Yogamani, what each of them teaches, and the languages they teach in. Teachers you would not find any other way.
Founder
Manish founded Yogamani after almost three years of sadhana in the Kedarnath Himalayas, learning from his Guru and from the saints of the region. He grew up in Brij Kshetra, where his grandmother taught him bhakti, mantra-japa and silence. He studied sound healing, Ayurveda and jyotish alongside yoga.
Teaches: sound healing and Nāda Yoga, meditation, philosophy on the 200 hour training, retreats and Yogayatra. Languages: Hindi, English, Japanese.

Method
The same teachers, the same timetable, every day. Corrections are given in person, not called out across the room. A teacher who cannot answer a question says so and finds the answer.
Hidden Gems
“Unveil your inner gem” points two ways. A student unveils their own. Yogamani unveils the hidden gems of yoga: teachers, acharyas and teachings that would otherwise stay unknown.
Each month, the Journal profiles one: a teacher, a practitioner supported through Brahma Seva (always with their consent), or a practice almost nobody teaches, such as Swar Yoga or Nāda Yoga.
Meet us
