Manju Pattabhi Jois, Yoga Guru of Mysore, India, and oldest son of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois was born on November 16, 1944. At the young age of 7, Manju was awakened each morning by his father Pattabhi Jois to begin lessons that would forever change the course of his life and the lives of those that would study with him in the years to come.
Manju began his teaching career at the age of 15 with his father and has taught the traditional historical practice of Ashtanga Yoga continuously for the last 44 years.
After Manju completed high school in India he traveled all over Northern and Southern India to give demonstration and teach the Ashtanga Yoga system to his fellow Indians. He had a passion to travel and teach the ashtanga tradition.
During his travels, he visited Pondicherry and demonstrated and taught yoga at the Geeta Anadna Ashram. It was there that two American students David Williams and Norman Allen saw Manju Jois demonstrate. They approached Manju and asked him who his Guru was, Manju sent them to his father Sri K. Pattabhi Jois.
History was in the making and it is within this very chance meeting that ended up bringing Manju and his father Pattabhi to first visit Encinitas California. This was how Ashtanga Yoga first entered and started in the United States.
