About Mansi

About Mansi

Mansi Maheta is a molecular neurobiologist, trauma-informed yoga teacher, and the creator of Brain-Body Movement™. A researcher turned into a full-time somatic guide, she bridges the gap between neuroscience and the lived, physical experience of the human body.
Diagnosed with severe spinal tuberculosis at the age of fourteen, Mansi spent over a decade navigating chronic pain, severe physical limitation, and nervous system burnout. After realizing that focusing on symptoms alone was not enough to heal a body locked in chronic survival mode, she turned to her academic knowledge. By combining her understanding of neurobiology with somatic recovery, she developed a pathway to help others safely heal
This Neuro-somatic approach not only helped Mansi, but it also helped many who struggled with chronic pain and past trauma or nervous system dysregulation. Mansi is the author of “The Innocent Body: Decoding Trauma, Rethinking Modern Yoga, and The Neuro-Somatic Path to Dissolving Survival Patterns.” 
A Yoga Alliance Certified teacher (625 Hrs), Mansi integrates classical yogic philosophy with neuroscience. Today, she offers 1-on-1 somatic sessions, group classes, and professional mentorship: dedicating her life’s work to helping individuals safely dissolve their oldest survival patterns and finally reclaim their bodies. 
A verse from the Bhagavad Gita continues to guide my work and life
“Uddhared atmanātmānaṁ, nātmānam avasādayet Ātmaiva hyātmano bandhur, ātmaiva ripur ātmanaḥ.”
“Let one uplift oneself through the power of one’s own mind. For the self is both the friend and the enemy of the self.”

How Did I end up here?

From a scientist to a teacher ...
I get a lot of questions about how I started teaching NeuroYoga in Berlin. Where do I come from? 
I was born and raised in India. I come from a city in southern Gujarat, India. 
I moved to Europe in 2015, for my Master’s study, and since then I have been around in the scientific community as well as Yoga and Vedanta circles. 
My journey began in research labs, studying the intricate workings of the brain and body as a molecular neurobiologist. Over time, that path led me to go deeper and train myself professionally in yoga, where I completed over 1000 hours of training in Ashtanga Vinyasa, Yin Yoga, and Mindfulness Yoga, MBSR, NLP, etc., taught hundreds of students, and developed a brain-based integrated technique, Brain-Body Movement.
