Mañju Jois, Ashtanga Yoga master of Mysore, South India, is the eldest son of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, recognized worldwide as one of the foremost authorities 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.
Mañju 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 has taught Ashtanga Yoga for over 47 years, and in more than 22 countries and 21 states in the US. Manju is grateful to Gary Herlich and all of the other people who helped him to stay in US when he first started teaching in America back in 1975.
Mañju’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 Astanga Yoga to his students in a world full of distractions. Manju’s dedication to 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.”
