MY Manly Community
Manly Yoga was the first yoga centre established in Manly and for over 30 years has provided yoga for Manly and surrounding communities. The centre is a local landmark, situated in a heritage listed federation building just 5 minutes from the centre of Manly. It provides a sea of tranquility in a busy world, where people come together to be part of a yoga community that connects people locally, around Australia and around the world. Being a not-for-profit (NFP) organization, serving community has always been the guiding philosophy, and the yoga offered has sought to meet community needs. Our small class sizes and non-competitive style encourage a friendly and social atmosphere. Every Saturday evening people gather together at Manly Yoga to enjoy the healing chant, havan (fire ceremony) and kirtan (communal singing). Everyone is welcome, it's one of the best live music venues in Manly....... and you don't even need to have a good singing voice !
