As a teacher of Sanskrit, yoga philosophy and meditation for over 25 years Manorama’s mission is grounded in blending modern life with ancient yogic wisdom.

She makes Sanskrit, Meditation and Yoga Philosophy accessible, approachable, and fun, while honoring the richness of its vast tradition.

Manorama’s formative studies in the tradition began as an immersive study with her Guru, Shri Brahmananda Sarasvati, in Sanskrit, Meditation and Yoga philosophy. Later, she continued her work in Sanskrit at Columbia University with the esteemed Dr. Ram Karan Sharma. The combination of these uniquely vibrant experiences has enabled her to delve deeply into how Sanskrit relates with the primary principles of Yoga, as well as to explore its connection with modern life.
