Mano's formal studies of the many different Hatha Yoga
traditions began with a teacher training course at Synergy
Yoga Center in Miami Beach. Mano was Co-Founder and
Co-Director of Synergy as a Non-For-Profit (501(c3))
organization (1999-2003). Eventually, Mano’s
practice grew towards Ashtanga Vinyasa style of Yoga that he
started learning from Wayne Krassner. "Ashtanga gave me a
formal, structural and systematic framework to develop with.
Main principles of Iyengar, Ida Rolf, Anusara Yoga and
Ayurveda have also influenced my unfolding."
Mano also studied with the following yogis: Tias Little
(Prajna Yoga), Andrey Lappa (Universal Yoga), Rod Stryker
(Pure Yoga), Manorama (Sanskrit Studies), Dr. Mohan
Sarasvati (Sanskrit Studies), Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, Richard
Freeman, and David Swenson (Ashtanga Yoga),
Dharma Mittra (Classical Hatha Yoga), and others. In
addition, Mano completed four years of education in the
S.R.F., Kriya Yoga tradition of Paramahansa Yogananda.
A perpetual student, Mano teaches from deeply inspired heart
and mind, thereby making his practice and teaching style
graceful and unique. Mano's classes are geared towards the
expansion and balancing of all layers of our being, using
scientific and intuitive elements of Yoga consciously and
creatively. He believes there is only ONE Yoga, different
ways to go about it and different elements that support,
shape, and enhance its teaching and practice. “Technique is
only but an infinitesimal part of the actual teaching… true
teaching is the inevitable reflection of the state of
consciousness of the teacher.”
Mano’s energy healing work is just as eclectic as his
background in Yoga. Mano is a traditional Reiki Master in
the Usui lineage, a Transformational Breath Work
facilitator, and he currently pursues a Doctoral degree in
Chinese Medical Qigong from the
International Institute of
Medical Qigong (USA) and the Henan University of Traditional
Chinese Medicine
(CHINA).
During his treatments, he also utilizes Ayurvedic Marma
Therapy, Thai Massage, Acupressure, Polarity therapy, gems
and crystals, Transformational Breathing techniques and
sound, as well as a purely impersonal healing intention.
Mano is also deeply interested in human evolution, the
esoteric world, extra and intra-terrestrial life.
