Manju Batra
Although I studied and worked in Northern India (Haryana) as an IT specialist , my life took an unexpected turn when I moved to Southern India. As my mind was enjoying the subtropical climate, my body badly reacted to it : I started to develop asthma and multiple allergies. Looking for a cure, I reluctantly followed a friend to a yoga class. A regular practice of yoga and a regimen of pranayama breathing turned mylife around: I was healthy again and consequently decided to study and teach yoga. I first was trained and mentored at the Atmayaan Yoga
Academy (India) then studied hot yoga , Baron Baptise style yoga and Yin Yoga here in the USA.
Once again I saw the therapeutic power of yoga in action when I convinced my best friend recovering from a brain tumor to practice with me everyday. With continuous practice of Pranayama and yoga postures he successfully retrained his mind and body to work together through the focus and concentration. This testimonial from my friend is my biggest
achievement and reward in the field of yoga. _ ” Life was never the same for me once I was diagnosed with brain tumor. After many surgeries doctors saved my life but that life was not worth living. But continuous practice of pranayama and yoga postures with my friend and instructor Manju Batra I am back to my normal life personally and professionally. I feel astonished to be back on my feet running, it’s an overwhelming turnaround of my health with the power of yoga.” -Rohit Vohra (TCS employee)
For me Yoga is about inspiring and sharing: between friends, between teachers and students, and between generations. I believe – “Don’t just instruct, inspire” !
