Yoga for Relaxation

"Manju is a very knowledgeable and passionate teacher. He has a way of making everyone feel at ease and always welcome in class. There is never any feeling of pressure and he encourages each person to only do as much as they can and above all enjoy themselves. I love going to his classes as I always feel so energised and positive after class."

"I have been going to Manju’s yoga classes for three and a half years now. I was a complete beginner when I went to my first class and I thought I was probably the most unflexible person in the univerise but Manju instantly made me feel at ease. He reminded me every so often to only do as much as I was comfortable with and that flexibility isn’t what yoga is about. After the first couple of weeks I was hooked and now I look forward to going to these classes each week. Manju’s classes have a friendly relaxed atmosphere and there are lots of different strengthening and stretching poses which leave you with a great feeling of accomplishment. I really can’t praise Manju’s classes enough."

"I have been going to Manju’s classes in Jersey for six years now and they have changed a lot in my life. They have improved my physical and mental health. Yoga has given me happiness, confidence and a love for my body that I never had before."
Ania

"I’ve been attending Manju’s classes for over four years now. Regular yoga practice has benefited me in several ways, my body is much more flexible, I sleep more soundly, I’m able to concentrate better, I’m less stressed and always leave a class feeling very refreshed. Manju’s classes are the perfect way for me to wind down and clear my mind of the turmoil of daily life. Manju has a real presence about him and is always very patient and kind with all of his students. It is clear that he teaches for the love of it."

"I have been Manju’s student for six years now. I am so pleased he was my first yoga teacher ever as he has got such understanding in this subject. He is such inspiration to me."

"Manju is a very knowledgeable and dedicated teacher. His classes have a genuine Indian feel about them that I love. I usually begin class feeling stressed and frazzled but always finish feeling relaxed and peaceful. I sleep so much better on yoga nights."

"Sanjeevani-yoga with Manju offers a warm, welcoming environment with Manju’s excellent teaching and knowledge guiding everyone expertly through his classes. Over the last few years whilst attending Manju’s classes I have developed my practice, but more importantly, I feel I've developed a deeper understanding of the art of yoga. Learning to connect the physical self with the emotional self has helped me deal with the trials and tribulations in the world outside the yoga classes. Sanjeevani Yoga can be whatever you need it to be - an opportunity to develop physically (flexibility, balance, etc), time to re-connect with your thoughts, or simply a place of respite and renewal."

"I took up yoga to complement weight training to improve my flexibility and reduce injury. It has helped me enormously and I feel that I am fitter and stronger than ever. It’s a small amount of time in the week that I give something back to my mind and body. Manju is a great teacher and his classes are welcoming and friendly."
Marcus

"I have been going to Manju’s classes now since 2014 and I am so glad I started back then. I was 58 at the time and stressed out from work. Manju’s very gentle style of yoga allows those who are just starting out to take things in an easy manageable way allowing their body muscles and tendons to start to stretch in ways they probably have never done before and yet doesn’t produce the pain that new gym starters get. At the same time, his way of teaching equally suits those more advanced yoga students by providing an environment where they can push themselves. All in the same class! What I found was that over a period, without pushing, my body got so much more flexible and my core strength and balance improved so much. It’s hard to think back now and recall just how tight most of my muscles were. I have become more supple, active and flexible, and definitely much calmer! They are conducted in a way that promotes mindfulness with an emphasis on the meditation aspects. It’s been surprising to me over the last 6 years just how many people I know go to Manju’s various classes. All age groups are there, from teenagers through to those in their 80’s."
Ian

"I have practiced yoga under Manju's guidance for a number of years. In this time, the practice helped in all aspects of life including physical benefits of improved breathing, strength, flexibility and balance, and wider benefits of stress reduction, more focus and more smiles. The classes attract a pleasant wide variety of people and are challenging for all because everyone is encouraged to develop themselves whilst not comparing themselves to others. The classes are friendly, and Manju's enthusiasm and generosity of spirit, means the practice is, most importantly, enjoyable!"

Meditation - Yoga Nidra

"I love the practice of yoga nidra. It promotes deep rest and relaxation and helps you to become more self aware. In these uncertain times, it can help with overwhelm, decrease anxiety and improve mood. Gentle but powerful 💕 Sian is an amazing teacher. With her beautiful calming voice and nature, she explains everything so well and puts you completely at ease."
Lesley

"When I first attended a yoga nidra session with Sian I had no idea what to expect other than bending myself into all sorts of odd positions, and turned up in suitable exercise gear. What a surprise to find I simply had to lie in a comfortable position on the floor and concentrate on listening to Sian's amazingly soothing voice and instruction. This took me to levels of relaxation and depths of awareness I had never known, releasing any stress, anxiety and trauma that I struggle with. I now use yoga nidra regularly to balance my life and move forward during difficult times particularly now with COVID 19 to contend with on top of everything else. I look forward to every session with Sian and urge everyone else to give this a try. She is amazing."
Jan

"Since going to classes I have learnt so much about yoga nidra. Sian is very welcoming and made me feel very comfortable when taking part in a new class. I leave Sian’s classes reflecting on my experience and eager to learn more at the next week’s session."
Verity

"I recently invited Sian to speak to my clients as a guest speaker. I knew how knowledgeable she was about yoga nidra but I had no idea what a treat we were on for and how we would be transported to a place of such inner calm!!! Sian explained a little of how yoga nidra is practiced and how one form of it is being actively used in the US military for soldiers returning from the front lines. How it is not just a mere guided meditation but is so much more...we then got to experience first hand how true this statement was!! Sian led us through a 30 minute yoga nidra and I was so relaxed and went to such a deep place. I was really impressed and would completely recommend Sian to anyone who would like to learn more about yoga nidra."
