Beyond the Asanas: Deepen Your Practice with Traditional Yoga Philosophy, Pranayama & Meditation

Manu is an excellent yoga teacher, particularly when it comes to teaching pranayama and the most important elements of yoga philosophy. His classes are profound yet easy to follow for people like me who are just starting out on their yoga journey and learning about its fundamental principles. I would recommend this teacher to anyone who wants to get started or continue to explore the world of yoga in greater depth. Thank you, Manu, for your time and professionalism in every class.

I’ve known Manu since we met during our YTTC journey, and over time, I’ve known him as not just a good friend but also someone I can genuinely look up to for guidance and support.

What really stands out about him is his knowledge and understanding of yoga. Having completed his Master’s in Yoga, he has spent a lot of time studying yogic philosophy, sutras, and different aspects of yoga, which gives him a much deeper understanding of what he teaches. But despite knowing so much, he is always approachable and explains things patiently.

During our YTTC journey, I’ve personally seen how supportive and encouraging he is. He genuinely enjoys sharing what he knows and helping others understand things better.

I truly believe his students will benefit not only from his knowledge but also from the way he guides and supports them. I’d wholeheartedly recommend Manu to anyone who wants to learn yoga with someone knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely passionate about it.

I had the pleasure of meeting Manu at Rishikesh Yoga Kendra in September 2025, when I traveled to Rishikesh for my Yoga Teacher Training course.
From the very beginning, I was impressed by his depth of knowledge, calm presence, and genuine dedication to sharing the true essence of yoga. His philosophy classes were especially inspiring, making complex concepts accessible, meaningful, and relevant to both the practice and daily life.
I enjoyed learning with him so much that, after returning home, I decided to continue studying with him through weekly online classes. These sessions have become an important part of my ongoing yoga journey, and I continue to deepen my understanding of yogic philosophy with every class.
Manu is a thoughtful, patient, and knowledgeable teacher who encourages both intellectual curiosity and personal reflection. I am truly grateful for the opportunity to keep learning from him and would highly recommend his classes to anyone seeking an authentic and enriching yoga education.
