About Us
Welcome to Manas Studio, where we believe that true wellness transcends the physical body. Rooted in Indian philosophy, "manas" signifies the human mind—the rational faculty that allows for contemplation and understanding. At Manas Studio, we have created a sanctuary for your body, mind, and soul, emphasizing the importance of nurturing your mental well-being alongside your physical fitness.
Our offerings include a diverse range of practices tailored to enhance your overall health:
- Body Fitness: Engage in workouts designed to strengthen and tone.
- Yoga: Explore various styles that promote flexibility, mindfulness, and inner peace.
- Mat Pilates: Focus on core strength and stability for a balanced physique.
- Singing Bowl Healing: Experience the therapeutic effects of sound to calm the mind and elevate your spirit.
Additionally, our optional yoga retreat in the serene rural town of Benalla provides the perfect escape. Immerse yourself in nature while dedicating time to deepen your yoga practice at your own pace. With our beautiful studio space and tranquil garden, you can truly concentrate on what matters most—your personal journey towards wellness.
At Manas Studio, we invite you to join our classes, share stories from around the globe with fellow practitioners, and delve into rich cultural experiences. Expand your palate with culinary delights that blend Eastern and Western flavors while building a strong foundation in yoga practices.
Come experience a spiritual rejuvenation unlike any other at Manas Studio—where mind training is just as crucial as physical fitness. Your path to holistic wellness begins here; join us today!
