Born and raised in India, Manasi's Yoga journey has always been a part of her life at various levels, and her principles of life are very much in line with the Yoga Philosophy. Asana practice drew her attention to heal from a chronic back injury. Experiencing the benefits of yoga physically as well as energetically, her belief in this wonderful system deepened.

Manasi teaches Vinyasa Krama, Yin and Bhakti Yoga. She also holds wonderful Kirtan evenings at Macha. Her Mantra is to always find moderation, make the class open to anyone that wants to step on to the mat and find balance.
Manasi's classes have her healing hands-on for assisting to help, support and empower you in your Yoga Journey. Her classes are focused on Asana, Meditation and Inquiry. You are sure to experience a strong and grounded practice, and leave the room empowered with new possibilities

The New Moon is an invitation to begin again. A quiet moment to turn inward, soften the body, and listen to what is ready to emerge.

In this practice, we move slowly and intentionally, creating space for reflection, release, and renewal. Breath becomes an anchor, movement becomes mindful, and stillness offers clarity.

New Moon Yoga supports grounding, intention, and gentle beginnings. Come as you are and allow your practice to meet you where you are. 🌿

Join us tonight at 7.30pm or check out the link in bio for upcoming Lunar Yoga sessions

Join us this Friday at 7.30pm to practice with the New Moon in Pisces

The New Moon in Pisces opens a tender and intuitive beginning. This is a time to turn inward, soften expectations, and allow space for reflection, healing, and imagination.

Pisces reminds us that not all growth is visible. Some intentions form quietly through feeling, rest, and trust. On the mat and beyond, let this New Moon support compassion, creativity, and gentle surrender as a new cycle begins. 🌊✨

Take a pause and practise with us at Macha Yoga Studio.

St Sheela’s day lands today, the almost lost tradition of venerating a mysterious feminine counterpart to St Patrick!

Many scholars of Irish folklore and antiquity believe Sheela na Gig and St Sheela are one and the same and this day celebrates the enigmatic, visceral and mischievous Sheela na Gig. St Sheela was possibly Patrick’s wife, possibly his mother (remember Christian priests only stopped marrying to preserve wealth in the hierarchy of the Church a long time after Christ.) Sheela na Gig on the other hand is an often discussed but never defined symbol of Irish history, always appearing in unexpected Christian sites with little context.

To those that Sheela na Gig resonates with she speaks to the “both/and” of making all that we are holy. The irreverence and joy of this squatting Goddess reminds us to leave no part of ourselves behind as we connect with the divine!

Happy St Patrick’s Day.

Our national day is one where we can make a milestone of our journey with our Irish identity after colonialism, a moment where our culture is thrust into the spotlight on an international stage, warts and all, derivative and authentic at once.

St Patrick was venerated in Rome because it was seen as such an incredible achievement to convert the people of this land to Christianity. Many had tried and failed before him to rid us of our pagan ways, and the legend of Patrick ‘driving the snakes out of Ireland’, that so bewilders and captures the imagination of us from childhood on, is a euphemism for Pagan conversion.

Patrick himself achieved Christianity in Ireland because he was charismatic, a bit of a maverick rebel who was unafraid to bend the Christian doctrine to fit in with the existing culture. Patrick was a priest in Druid’s clothing and took up roles such as fostering a child from one noble household into another, performing diplomacy, in order to gain trust. Many of the stories about Patrick’s miracles and teachings do not sit with what we know about the land he arrived in - for example why would a people so absolutely familiar with a triple goddess, a triple cosmos need a Shamrock to illustrate how the spirit of God could be father, son and holy spirit at once?

From the time of Patrick to this day the Irish culture has been muddled, hybridised, and confused, and as we take a step back today, may we see the truth of this beautiful and diverse land beneath it all.

Mother's Day blessings to everyone, having a hard day or a good day 💗

Missing my mama so much today and still trying to figure out how I will raise another baby without her!

I am so blessed that she took the attitude if she couldnt put her absolute best into having a baby she wouldn't have one at all. I got the very best of her from conception to early years and she set quite the standard... marching up hills and doing tai chi pregnant with me, hanging on til the bitter end of a 3 day labour to homebirth me, baby wearing, extended breastfeeding, never feeding me anything out of a jar until I discovered ketchup myself etc etc etc None of that was mainstream at the time and now I know first hand the effort and commitment that took!

I wish motherhood was as valued and venerated as it should be. Those early years shape culture, collective consciousness and the wellbeing of society as a whole.

A revised edition of the groundbreaking New Age book that seamlessly merges Western psychology and science with spirituality, creating a compelling interpretation of the Eastern chakra system and its relevance for Westerners today
“A useful tool for contemplating our strengths, weaknesses, and appropriate approaches to growth.”–Yoga Journal

In Eastern Body, Western Mind, chakra authority Anodea Judith brought a fresh approach to the yoga-based Eastern chakra system, adapting it to the Western framework of Jungian psychology, somatic therapy, childhood developmental theory, and metaphysics and applying the chakra system to important modern social realities and issues such as addiction, codependence, family dynamics, sexuality, and personal empowerment.

Arranged schematically, the book uses the inherent structure of the chakra system as a map upon which to chart our Western understanding of individual development. Each chapter focuses on a single chakra, starting with a description of its characteristics and then exploring its particular childhood developmental patterns, traumas and abuses, and how to heal and maintain balance.

On International Women's Day, we are not free until all women are free.

I am the great granddaughter of a woman who perished in poverty, for familial connection to the IRA, after a life time of childbearing with some barely half reared.

I am the granddaughter of a woman born in 1916 when the dream of our country included women, a woman who deeply resented the limitations places on her life under the De Valera-era theocracy. She counseled we should not be shackled to our reproductive capacity or usefulness and palatability to men.

I am the daughter of a woman who stood on our mainstreet at 14 handing out fliers supporting our rights to contraception, family planning and autonomy over our reproductive rights. The same woman who would travel to England herself, only a child of 16 and have it gossiped about over her grave nearly 50 years on as if the shame was indelible.

And I see not half the progress in our rights they should have expected 100 years later and we are the lucky ones globally.
