I’m Manny! A Columbia based yoga instructor. My passion for mindful movement comes from my own journey of self-discovery and healing.

Raised in rural Missouri, I found yoga in 2021 during a time when I needed it most. Being from a small town feeling self empowered doesn’t come easy. With a background in running and a love for movement, I discovered that yoga was about so much more than what happens on the mat. It became a way to reconnect with myself, find strength in discomfort, and approach life with greater presence.

As a teacher, I hope to create a welcoming space where everyone feels encouraged to explore movement, connect with their breath, and show up exactly as they are. His classes blend intentional movement, good music, and opportunities to challenge yourself while finding moments of stillness.

My biggest reminder to students? Yoga isn’t about being perfect. It’s about showing up, meeting yourself where you are, and remembering just how capable you are.

Thank you for being part of the community. It’s an honor to share this practice with you all.
