Hi, I am Manizeh. I consider myself a global citizen. I was born in Pakistan, grew up in Switzerland, and attended college in the U.S. before finally laying down roots in London, a city I love.  After years of working as a technology investment banker and at start-ups in San Francisco, I gladly gave it all up when I found my calling as a yoga teacher. I love sharing all the various yoga practises with people, especially chanting mantras, a practise that continues to crack my heart open, over and over again. 

Love Supreme Projects has been a lifetime in the making. In a world in which it feels increasingly difficult to not shut down and protect the heart, a community of practice that cracks the heart open feels more essential than ever. The philosophy and technologies these practices provide, that combined, stimulate the intellect, move the body and open the heart, are unbeatable tools to get through the ups-and-downs of life. It is the open heart that tends the world. 

I have been a long-time student of Sharon Gannon, David Life and Jai Uttal. I am an Advanced Certified Jivamukti Yoga teacher and started Jivamukti Yoga London in 2005, as well as starting the yoga program at Maggie’s Cancer Centres in London. I am the founder of Love Supreme Projects. I graduated from Brown University with a B.A in political science.

"No matter the language or the content, Ganavya’s voice is a thick ephemera, like smoke as dark as ink, just coming off the fire." - New York Times

Tamil Nadu-raised and New York-born critically acclaimed vocalist Ganavya lives, learns, and loves fluidly from the nexus of many frameworks and understandings. Hers is a deeply profound and rooted voice. A multidisciplinary creator, she is a soundsmith and wordsmith. Trained as an improviser, scholar, dancer, and multi-instrumentalist, she maintains an inner library of “spi/ritual” blueprints offered to her by an intergenerational constellation of collaborators, continuously anchoring her practice in pasts, presents and, futures. Much of her childhood was on the pilgrimage trail, learning the storytelling art form of harikathā and singing poetry that critiques hierarchal social structures.
