About Nancy:
Nancy began practicing Ashtanga Yoga over 30 years ago with Sri K. Pattabhi Jois in Mysore, India. She is the first Western Woman to be taught Ashtanga Yoga! As a result of her close association with Pattabhi Jois, Nancy is able to teach with the style and touch that was transmitted directly from Guruji. Nancy also has a Buddhist Meditation practice and is a student of Baba Hari Das. She is the director of the House of Yoga and Zen on Maui. Nancy travels to Europe (Eastern and Western), Japan, India, and across the U.S. teaching workshops with the intention of sharing her experience of yoga with others. Her studies have led her to the dharma teachings of the Dalai Lama and the expression of love and compassion for all beings.
 After more than 30 years of Ashtanga practice, Nancy is more convinced than ever that this style of yoga as taught to her by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois works best when it is followed strictly to the original form and she continues to teach as he taught her.

In this workshop, he will introduce the original Sanskrit counting method, helping students learn the correct breath sequence of Primary Series. A combination of meditation, chants, pranayamas and asanas make each practice session the purest experience of Ashtanga Yoga.

Taking the time to learn and repeat the Shanti Mantras is very powerful, and having occasion to practice them with others is astounding. We invite you to join us.

Information about Manju:
Manju Jois, Ashtanga Yoga guru of Mysore, South India, is the oldest son of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, recognized worldwide as the foremost authority on Ashtanga Yoga. Manju was born on November 16th, 1944. At the young age of 7, Manju was awakened early each day by his father to begin lessons that would forever change the course of his life and the lives of those who would study with him in the years to come. He began his teaching career at the age of 15 with his father and has taught ever since.
Manju considers it a great honor to be the son of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois. "He is my father and my teacher. I am grateful for both my mother and my father." Manju's mother, Savatri Jois, (Sathu to her family) was a beloved wife, loving mother and an expert in Indian cuisine. Sadly, she passed away in 1997. Manju is devoted to his wife Nancy and their young daughter Sathu, named after her paternal Grandmother, who was born in 2002. Sathu is a multi-talented, beautiful girl, who continues to bless the Jois family beyond measure.
Manju has taught the true Mysore Ashtanga method for over 47 years. Spanning 22 countries and 21 states in the US, Manju's world Ashtanga teaching tour is ever expanding. Manju is grateful to Gary Herlich and all of the other people who helped Manju to stay in US when he first started teaching in America.
He offers Ashtanga weekend workshops, teacher trainings and intensive week-long classes. He incorporates pranayama and vedic chantings in his classes, which go very well with Ashtanga yoga practice. Manju's intention is to teach in the way of the Ancient tradition and bring the many benefits of Ashtanga yoga to his students.
He hopes to bring "better concentration and understanding" of Ashtanga Yoga to his students in a world full of distractions. Manju's dedication to his life of teaching and practicing yoga has brought the benefits of the ancient tradition of Ashtanga Yoga to many students throughout the world, as he guides each to "Unite with Yourself."
