About
Manju Jois
 Manju
Jois, Ashtanga Yoga guru of Mysore, South India, is the oldest son of
Sri K. Pattabhi Jois. Manju was born on November 16th, 1944. At the
age of 7, Manju was awakened early each day by his father to begin lessons
that would forever change the course of his life and the lives of those
who would study with him in the years to come. He began teaching at
the age of 15 with his father and has taught continuously for the last
42 years.
After
high school, Manju traveled all over northern and southern India to
give yoga demonstrations and teach Ashtanga Yoga to his fellow Indians.
He decided not to become a Professor of Yoga at Benares Hindu University
because he wanted to continue to travel and teach the Ashtanga tradition.
Manju
and his father, Sri Pattabhi Jois, brought Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga to
America in 1975 and have traveled worldwide teaching this tradition
as taught to Pattabhi Jois by his legendary teacher Krishnamacharya.
Today Manju teaches worldwide and in selected United States locations.
