Anj Manitsas

Over the last 15 years of teaching in the Bay Area and beyond, Anj has become known for a potent class with a whole lotta soul and a creative, uncommon flow. She believes that a yoga class is a powerful place to forget ourselves and remember ourselves all at the same time.

Anj is a passionate guide, weaving students through a rhythmic, strength-oriented, music-filled, breath-guided journey on their mats, encouraging the whole tapestry of the human experience to be felt, held, honored. Her spicy classes often incorporate mantras and chanting, philosophy, meditation, lots of sighing, essential oils, and unique challenges. And always encourage bodily autonomy. 

Anj has studied a lot over the last 20+ years, and chronic illness/pain has led her to engage with many healing modalities that influence her classes, including nervous system regulation and brain retraining. She aims to create a healing, sacred space always.
