Currently only accepting fully vaccinated students.

My name is Allen Barkus and I've studied exclusively since 2004 with Manju Jois, authorized to teach into the intermediate, second series. Manju, along with his father, brought Ashtanga/Vinyasa yoga to America in 1975.

You have a lot of choices for yoga teachers in Philadelphia and may wonder what makes us different? I am one of the teachers that teachers come to for training, including some that have their own studios. My training lineage is also direct and extensive, not from one of the numerous watered-down studio training programs that most of my teacher students come from.

My experience also includes training athletes at the University of Pennsylvania, working with breast cancer survivors, helping people recover from injuries and surgeries, and with children. I have also worked with a woman whom had emphysema, demonstrating virtually anyone can benefit from this practice.
