Manav Ji (born Manuj Agarwal in August 1986) was raised in a spiritually rich family in Rishikesh, the global capital of yoga. Immersed in the chants of mantras and the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita, his early years laid a strong foundation in yogic wisdom. At 14, his journey took him to Mumbai, where he pursued his education and found success in the business world. Yet, the pace of corporate life brought inner fatigue, and a return to Rishikesh reignited his connection to the divine through yoga and mantra.

This homecoming became a turning point, inspiring him to commit fully to the yogic path. A practitioner of classical yoga, Manav Ji brings deep expertise in Yoga Sutras, Samkhya, Bhagavad Gita, Hatha Yoga, and Vedanta. His teaching is rooted in precise alignment, neuro-muscular awareness, and traditional sequencing that prepares the body with care and intention.

Guided by traditional teachers, he received the spiritual name “Manav,” meaning “human.” With warmth and humility, he connects deeply with his students—both physically and philosophically. Having led numerous teacher training programs across India, Manav has shared his knowledge with practitioners and teachers from around the world. His teachings reflect his core philosophy: true yoga unfolds in a relaxed mind, and life is best lived with love and compassion—the highest expressions of human experience.
