“I had the incredible experience of completing teacher training with Miriam. She is VERY advanced in her practice yet humble in her heart. She is truly an amazing teacher and person. TAKE HER CLASS AND BE TRANSFORMED.”

Lisa Rosen

“As a teacher myself, I tend to be disappointed with superficial practices! I love Miriam’s style! Physically Challenging yet deeply spiritual!!!”

Alessandrina Lerner

“One of the best teachers in Miami! She is great. Miriam incorporated the spiritual and meditative aspects in her class. She always comfortably explains the technical side of each asana. That’s trully amazing. Her class is equally good for all levels, trust me!”

Olga Martin

“After having been taking Mano’s classes for years I finally committed to the TT. A main reason was to understand Mano’s unique sequencing technique. What I didn’t know was that the training was going to blow my mind. Subjects were covered on a very deep level allowing me to develop the a comfort zone to start sharing the knowledge. Mano’s training is not a traditional one, but it definitively is personalized, extremely interesting, highly challenging and enriching as well as an extraordinary experience that provides you the tools to keep exploring the Self.”

David Radzinsky

I have practiced for years, and not found a yoga instructor like Mano, with such a varied array of asanas & unusual sequence pattern, plus offering pranayama intermittently.
His quiet & humble teaching style & music, with keen attention to detail (when we think he doesn’t notice) and humor, make him unique.
Ayama’s studio is like a womb of nourishment for both body & soul. Thank you so much for creating a wonderful place to practice this amazing ritual to share
and bring community together.
Ayama Yoga Center is soon to be the best in Miami.

Yoga TT with Mano was a life-changing experience. I was blessed with the opportunity to study with a teacher who has a unique, delicate balance of attention to the pursuit of yoga on a scholarly level with beautiful communication of the artistry that is yoga. As a psychotherapist by profession, I am able to utilize most everything I learned in theory in my practice; and as a yoga student and now teacher, I appreciate what makes Mano’s style unique, multi-dimensional (literally), and so enjoyable.

Kiki Fries

I had been a Yoga teacher for many years before I met Mano, but my practice really started to get CONSCIOUS when I met him. I have taken both his TT level 1 and level 2 and have practiced continuously with him for over 5 years and he continues to be a source of inspiration in my practice.
I am very grateful!

Teacher Training with Mano is an out of this world experience. I took the training with a Yoga Alliance Certificate already, and I never thought I would learn what I learned, it’s not only made me a better Yoga Teacher and a better Yogini it has made me a better human being at all levels: physically, emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually. I feel better in my own skin and with the people around me because of it, I never would have imagined that something could enrich my life, fill my heart, and open my mind, the way his training did.

I have had chronic back pain for 30 years; have been to several specialists throughout the country, the diagnosis is osteoarthritis of the spine plus sclerosis. Several orthopedic specialists suggested surgery to fuse my spine. Weekly chiropractor visits seemed to alleviate the pain a bit but the effects only lasted a few days. One specialist reviewing my x-rays told me that had he not seemed me in person he would have assumed that the x-rays belonged to an individual in a wheel chair. In a nut shell, my spine is a wreck. Then in my quest for relief, I discovered yoga, I have had hatha, Ashtanga and Bikram classes. The pain relief has been incredible. In my recent move to Florida, I discovered Ayama Yoga Center. Whoo, I am so happy! This center is the best I have been to so far, the staff is incredibly gifted and all classes are different. About 2 classes a week are enough for me to feel pain free and go about with my daily routines. My life has been enriched, not only physically but also spiritually. I know I will be doing yoga for the rest of my life. Namaste!

Yoga has influenced my life in numerous and extraordinary ways, giving me a level of balance, awareness, strength and peacefulness I never expected to achieve even though my path is just starting. Ayama Yoga Center, through its teachers, workshops and activities has been vital in my development, sharing their knowledge and transmitting their energy. Namaste!

David Radzinsky

I’ve been practicing Yoga for almost a year and I can feel the big difference in both my mind and body. My experience at Ayama is one of a kind, every time I enter the studio everything that’s in my mind stays outside and my entire body fills with harmony and peace. It is very easy to get this feeling when you enter the studio because of the beautiful and spiritual place the owners have created, all surrounded with candles and good vibes. I’ve had classes with almost every one of the instructors and each one of them has his unique way of teaching, however all of them do it with great compassion.

Nicole Naierman

I was looking for a yoga place in Aventura with no success, until someone mentioned Ayama. I have found love and compassion and very interesting and excellent teachers. Each teacher has a different style of teaching and practice, which at the time makes my practice richer and challenging. Yoga is not only about the physical exercise, it’s a mental and spiritual challenge. I find all that at Ayama and I’m very thankful.

Claudia Gallegos

I have been a yogini for 10 yrs and I have practiced at the Ayama for 7. Ayama has allowed me to explore unknown parts of myself that I didn’t even know existed. As my practice continues to evolve, Ayama has always been considered my personal healing sanctuary. Thank you all for touching my life!! Namaste

Amy Sarnow

The best therapy for the mind, body, and soul! I love it! I look forward to Bea’s class all week!

Todd Weinsier

I have been practicing yoga for about 12 years. Ayama Yoga Studio peaked my interest with its wonderful instructors. Each one brings something different and unique which enables me to experience a well rounded practice. My yoga experience has enriched my life in many ways. It has taught me to be present, to accept my limitations, to be grateful, to be comfortable and pain-free, and also how to be still and calm. I hope to keep growing with Ayama indefinitely.
Namaste!
