Manisha started her journey as a health and yoga coach alongside her full-time product designer employment, successfully ran the yoga chakra for 7 years as the most successful yoga studio in Delhi, and later went on to expand her horizon into a full-bodied health and wellness coaching business with Aumyourway. She desired to break through the patterns in her life that were not working and explore potential like she never had. So she challenged herself to grow from her convenient paid employment to owning a design company that catered to innovation. Having seen multiple breakdowns in her life, whether in relationships, health, or purpose, she now helps people discover their best selves through integrated practice.

Much of her accomplishments emanate from her personal story. She learned the science of yoga, bio hacks, and nutrition better to combat her weight issues. Her challenges with relationships helped her uncover her patterns and delve into spirituality. Being in a narcissistic relationship for 5 years and being emotionally blackmailed to stay, she understood her difficulties in keeping boundaries. She self-learned and created a system that allowed people to own themselves with confidence.

Today, as a serial entrepreneur, certified coach, and fitness instructor, she adeptly manages multiple roles. From leading workshops and analyzing spreadsheets to guiding others in their quests to uncover the ikigai of wealth and wellness.

Drawing from diverse modalities such as Ayurveda, Movement, and Therapy, she as a certified fitness and lifestyle coach, fosters well-being in herself and others. Rejecting the hustle culture, Manisha advocates for living with intention and passion, transforming each day into a joyful playground of creation and learning.

Global media channels like India Today, Zee News, Aaj Tak, Discovery, etc., have covered her dedicated work in health and life coaching. With this passion for empowering people to grow in all areas of their lives, Manisha is unstoppably evangelizing health and wellness as a right rather than just a desirable luxury.
