Manikarnika

I am an internationally certified yoga teacher (YAI), mentor, life coach, and teacher trainer based in India. I have had the privilege of learning under Swami Vidyanand and Grandmaster Arjun, whose teachings have deeply influenced my approach to yoga. Alongside Transformational Yoga, I also teach Hatha, Vinyasa, and Ashtanga Yoga.
My teaching philosophy goes beyond physical movement. While I aim to create classes that are both meditative and appropriately challenging, my intention is to help students connect with themselves on multiple levels. Through conscious movement, breathwork, and awareness practices, I encourage students to release not only physical tension but also mental stress and emotional blockages that may be affecting their overall well-being.
I believe yoga is a powerful tool for transformation. Every class is designed to leave students feeling stronger, calmer, rejuvenated, and more balanced. The goal is that the time they spend on the mat supports them far beyond the practice itself—helping them cultivate greater focus, clarity, resilience, and self-awareness in their daily lives.
Ultimately, I strive to empower my students to become more independent, conscious, and grounded individuals, carrying the lessons of yoga into their relationships, habits, decisions, and overall way of living. For me, yoga is not just an exercise practice; it is a pathway to living a more balanced and fulfilling life.
