Bend. Breathe. Become.

Maniprana yoga studio is a spiritually vibrant place that offers training in traditional and restorative Iyengar yoga. I have previously been to many yoga centres, and I can say with absolute certainty that this is the best one. The aesthetic and tasteful design of the studio is the big draw for me, as well as having all the necessary equipment and props required for personalised practice. However, the most attractive feature of this studio is the instructor, Vanita Pai. She designs each lesson with unique personalisation and attention to details. Her lessons teach us, her students, about complete awareness of eliminating and preventing illnesses, restoring a peaceful mindset, and generating energy for holistic wellness. Each lesson offers a /truly unique and unforgettable experience.

I have tried few yoga centers in Manipal / Udupi region and this one is the best. Vanita understands the mechanism of your body and step by step she brings calm to your energy levels. The level of professionalism and organization here is commendable.

The practice of yoga is imperative to harmonise your mind, body and soul, and I’m thankful to have begun an enriching yoga journey with Maniprana Yoga Studio. Our instructor, Vanita, is attentive to individual limitation and guides us into the asanas cautiously, throwing light on how each asana benefits us. The well-planned and sequenced classes are beginner-friendly and are preceded by an outline of the asana plus we get to take the aid of the equipment. The studio exudes warmth, is homely and immaculate (which is vital, given the current pandemic), complete with separate rooms for props, pantry and changing room.

Walking into MANIPRANA studio, in between work for a session, is like coming home - a beautiful and calm place to be at. Great set-up, good vibes, very professional & non-judgemental. Great instruction of the movement in yoga poses, with the focus being on performing the asanas correctly and mastering them. And above all, a knowledgeable and remarkable instructor, Vanita, is helping me overcome my back pain and postural issues.

Maniprana has a warm and welcoming friendly environment with an extremely passionate and well-versed yoga instructor, Vanita. She is unfailingly polite, thoughtful, and patient with her students. She is very knowledgeable about her profession and generously shares her insights and experience in a way that is accessible and helpful. She maintains a small class size to ensure personal attention to each one. As a complete novice, I am totally enjoying this new experience of finding inner peace.

Iyengar yoga is the best thing after your body is getting worked in the ocean! The yoga teacher, Vanita, is amazing! She teaches in way where you learn by listening to yourself through her understanding of yourself! Recommend it for sure!

I always believed that one would connect with yoga when the time was right. When I started classes with Vanita di, I knew I was doing the right thing. It not only helped me cope with the pain in my knee and lower back but also helped me in the holistic development of my mind, body and soul. Iyengar yoga, I believe, is a perfect combination of science and spirituality. Couldn't be happier, thanks Maniprana.

Maniprana yoga, by Vanita, is a distinctive and immersive yoga experience. Both the studio and learning experience help me find the right body balance and workout regime. Yoga practice with props helps in completing a posture, without strain and error.

If you've never tried yoga before, THIS is the place to go to. Maniprana studio has created a supportive & relaxed atmosphere, suitable for all levels of yoga. Vanita blends the physical & spiritual practices of yoga in a way that is relatable to all. Yoga sessions @ Maniprana have created a gracious spot in my weekly routine.

It’s been 4 months in Maniprana Yoga Studio. I can feel the real change in me. I feel much Calm n i am more organised and sorted now. Initially it was difficult to schedule time for Yoga, but now i look forward to each session. Vanita Madam is an amazing teacher, She motivates us n explains each n every asanas in detail. It’s a different experience all together. I recommend this to everyone in any age group. It’s definitely worth the time n definitely worth more than the minimal fees.

I came from Russia and had not practiced yoga before, I wanted to start practicing in India, it was important for me, because here is the original source. I was advised here in Manipal MANIPRANA yoga, and in a month there was a result. And if you don’t even really understand why you need yoga, then when you come to classes here, Vanita is our Guru, he will tell and show you everything from the very beginning, and step by step you will have an understanding and awareness for what and why yoga 🧘🏻‍♀️

This is a wonderful yoga studio to attend. Vanita's expertise and enthusiasm are both incredible. She's always on her toes, paying minute attention to what her students are doing and her demonstrations and detailed explanations of each yoga pose make it that much easier to learn and execute them. Add to this the beautiful and well-equipped studio and the affordable rates, and Maniprana becomes a go-to place for anyone who wants to learn Iyengar Yoga!
