Recognized worldwide, Manorama teaches
Sanskrit and Yoga philosophy. She evokes healing
through the universal arts of language and conscious living. “Happiness,” she
often says, “is the free flow of energy, and communication is energy. When we
use our voices authentically and confidently, we create harmony between
ourselves and others.”
Manorama offers a direct, accessible and
joyful approach to Sanskrit, encouraging her students to focus on its dynamic
sound qualities and architectural beauty rather than simply memorizing grammar.
Manorama offers Sanskrit programs for yoga
teacher trainings, as well as open workshops and retreats. She tours the globe
training students in Luminous Shabda, a path that fuses sacred teachings
with everyday life through Sanskrit, Mantra, Meditation, and Yoga
philosophy.
Combining her earthly charm with a healthy
dose of humour, Manorama guides students in bridging the ordinary with the
spiritually sublime.
Yoga teachers and students alike
treasure Manorama’s recordings on
Patanjali’s
Yoga Sutra, Learn to Chant Yoga Invocations and Learn to Pronounce Yoga Poses. Celebrated for her haunting
melodies in chanting, Manorama is featured on numerous albums, including Invocation (with Krishna Das and Ty Burhoe) and Wade Morisette’s, Maha
Moha: The Great Delusion.
Manorama earned a B.A. in Film at Columbia
University, where she also studied linguistics.
