About Me
I’ve spent the last ten years living in India, working with marginalized women, studying yoga and Ayurveda, and trying to be here now!
I am so excited to share all my knowledge with you (especially you baby boomer women like me who think it’s all downhill from here! It’s not!)
Are you ready to be the best you can be? To find your authentic self and connect with the great quantum energy field of life? To find the meaning of life, the universe, and everything?
Let’s do it!
Hi There, I’m Gayle
In India, they call me Guna Manjari Dasi
My goal is to present yoga not just as asanas but as an experiential practice encompassing but not limited to Yamas, Niyamas, Asana, Pranayama and meditational techniques, mantra yoga, and techniques of Ishwar pranidhana of Patanjali.
I travel around the world conducting workshops in theory and practice of Yoga, asana, traditional pranayama, meditation, chanting, and Ayurveda, and with my familiarity with alternative western medicine, I also correlate these disciplines.
