The Yogi Book Club is a study and discussion circle dedicated to exploring the philosophical and experiential foundations of yoga through classical texts and contemporary literature.
Our first selection, Autobiography of a Yogi, invites us into a rich world of spiritual practice, mystical experiences, and the guru–disciple tradition of India. Each meeting includes reflection on yogic concepts such as karma, dharma, meditation, intuition, and the nature of consciousness, while drawing connections to our own modern lives.
This space is for anyone seeking deeper understanding beyond the physical practice of yoga—an opportunity to root your practice in wisdom, community, and inner exploration.
Led by Mana Sundari—yogi, teacher, and holder of a bachelor’s in languages and literature—this book club weaves together the precision of literary study with the depth of yogic wisdom to create dynamic, lively, and thought-provoking conversations

ABOUT THE TEACHER
MANA SUNDARI 
Mana teaches Kundalini, Pranayama, Meditation, Yin, Vinyasa, and Yin Yang. Passionate about holistic well-being, Mana guides yoga practitioners deeper on their spiritual and wellness journeys.
Mana began practicing meditation from a Buddhist monk while living in Thailand a decade ago which ignited her journey into eastern philosophy and yoga. A profound experience in India, the culmination of years of philosophical searching, led her to discover the transformative power of Yoga, igniting a lifelong commitment to sharing its benefits. Mana believes in living authentically and connecting deeply with one’s inner self while remaining practical and relatable. Mana returns periodically to India to study with her gurus Anand Mehrotra, a living master of Himalayan Kundalini Kriya and Tantra, and Dr Vijaya Kumar Manja, master in Sanskrit, Vedic Philosophy, and Ashtanga.
When not practicing yoga, Mana likes to take on DIY projects, sew, paint, garden, and volunteer.
