Manasa Yoga, established in 1999 is a yoga school committed to imparting the true teachings of yoga. Join us if GREATNESS is your direction for LIFE.
We impart yoga wisdom via classes, YTT, workshops, retreats and talks. The training for the development of this awareness starts with the gross, objective phenomena such as the foot, knee, spine, inhalations, exhalations, etc, through the tools of asana, taught with specific alignment instructions based on anatomical insights, as well as pranayama. This brings about an attenuation of the scatterin

All this before some ashtanga vinyasa practice 😅
It's Day 2 of our yatra in west Bali and we just gotta share this. So Kamal, dislocated his shoulder in a fall a few days before the yatra and he told us he would make whatever necessary adaptations with his one working arm during the retreat sesssions. We were sad for him but he was no whiner. Check this one-armed ashtanga sun salute from this morning's practice ❤️

It's Manasa Yatra time, meaning many of us (40 to be exact) will be away for our annual yoga retreat, this time to West Bali. However, there will still be classes going on at Manasa (though a few less than usual), so PLEASE continue to come for classes while we are away. After all, according to Sage Patanjali, you only qualify as a yoga practitioner if your practice check off the 4 following qualities:
1) Long term (dīrgha kāla)
2) Uninterrupted (nairantarya)
3) with respect (satkara)
4) and of Servitude (asevita)

Manoj turns 55 on April 28, 2026 and so on the 26th of April, we had a special Celebrate Manoj, Celebrate Manasa 2-hour sesh followed by makan & kula catchup time.
Here are some key moments from this special session:
- arrival & setting up
- to the first segment of 55 mins of chanting of the 55 verses of the Sadhana pada (key verses of 2.28 & 2.46 featured here)
- 55 mins of 55 sun salutations with Manoj
- Group pic with everyone
- Birthday singing
- Catch up & makan time
Missed the event but wanna view & follow along, DM for link.
When you arrive early to a yoga class, it's best to just chill and collect yourself before the class begins. You can lie down or sit (not in full lotus unless you are one who takes naps in lotus) and observe your breath. Pre-class 'stretches' or 'warmups' ain't necessary. You will soon be led into a well thought out sequence to infuse your awareness into. :) Namaste

We had the cutest yogidog in class this morning. His name is Eamon and he joined via zoom. He didn't seem too good at following instructions as he was in most of the time. But maybe he was in samadhi.
Most of us love Wednesdays at Manasa.
For years, Wednesdays at Manasa means Restorative practices and Gita Talk nights but of late, Wednesdays also means there is a possibility of being GREETED & WELCOMED by BAILEY or B for short! She's the cutest welcome dog ever ❤️❤️❤️

Chapter 9 & The Secret Knowledge
A 3-Hour Online Revision Workshop on Bhagavad Gita
TIME: 7-10PM KUL (6AM NYC/ 11AM LDN/ 430PM DEL)
DATE: SUNDAY FEB 8, 2026
PLATFORM: Zoom
In this 3-hour online wisdom workshop, Guru Manoj will guide you through a deep and integrated revision of Chapter 9 of the Bhagavad Gita, often called Raja Vidya Raja Guhya - the most profound and most secret knowledge.
Come ready to explore:
How Krishna reveals Ishwara as both immanent and transcendent
The subtle difference between Devata ( deity) and Ishwara ( God), anya ( the other), and ananya ( the not other)
How to understand heaven, karma, grace, pointlessness of heaven, and freedom in a mature Vedantic way
How we mistake our yearning for qualities of subjective feeling states with quantified measurements of objects
Along with clear teaching, live participants at this workshop will receive:
Guided contemplations and meditative reflections
Storytelling and symbolic interpretation
Practical life applications
Insights from group discussions
This workshop is ideal for anyone interested in knowing:
the power behind our universe and our individual existence,
the role of karma in outcomes and the role of free will,
how to transform exclusive deity devotion to inclusive non-dual God devotion and more
Book your spot on MANOJKAIMAL.COM
You receive a confirmation email with a zoom link to the workshop upon completion of booking.
Come to learn how to apply all these directly to modern life and its inner-outer conflicts as well as how to bring it to your mat practice
