Manizeh Rimer has been described as a \u201cheart-opener\u201d by her students, friends and peers in her global community. The Jivamukti Yoga teacher and co-founder of Love Supreme Projects<\/a><\/strong><\/span> has dedicated the past few decades to sharing the transformational power of yoga with people from all walks of life, guiding them in the journey of reconnecting with themselves and finding the \u2018Path of the Heart.\u2019 We\u2019re so lucky to call the London-based teacher and mentor a close friend of ISSIMO, and it\u2019s always a joy to hear her insights and reflections on how yoga can help us be more mindful, fulfilled and connected humans.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t \u2018Getting back in touch with the spirit\u2019 – Manizeh\u2019s calling to yoga<\/b><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t Let\u2019s backtrack a few years, when Manizeh met our Creative Director and CEO Marie-Louise Sci\u00f2<\/a><\/strong><\/span> when they were both eighteen year-old students at neighbouring universities in Rhode Island, USA. \u201cIt was love at first sight,\u201d says Manizeh. They instantly connected and have shared a close, joy-filled friendship ever since. Even during these early years at university, Manizeh reflects on looking for something she calls the \u2018Path of the Heart\u2019<\/strong> – a sense of inner fulfilment and spirituality that wasn\u2019t necessarily connected to religion or anything in the \u2018external world\u2019.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t \n\t\t\t\t\n\u201cDespite pursuing a career in technology I knew it wasn\u2019t my true calling. When I discovered\u00a0 yoga it reconnected me to my body. I was in a lot of physical pain at the time due to working and sitting much, and I feel like this was a doorway that led me to yoga, which I soon realised was a spiritual practice, not just a physical one. Yoga helps you remember who you really are,<\/b> and it helps you get back in touch with your spirit,\u201d she says.\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/blockquote>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t The more Manizeh practised yoga and experienced its holistic benefits, the more certain she was that she had found her \u2018Dharma\u2019;<\/strong> a way of being that is in complete alignment with life and the universe – essentially, the \u2018Path of the Heart.\u2019 She quit her tech job and devoted her energy and focus to being a full-time student. Humbled by the extent to which yoga expanded her self-awareness, Manizeh felt compelled to share her yoga experiences with others<\/strong>, believing the practice could help them transform their lives in the same way it did hers.<\/p> \u00a0<\/p> Manzieh has led classes, residencies and special yoga experiences all over the world, and she was the first to bring the Jivamukti Yoga method to London which she has built up for more than ten years now. In that time, she has gained an extensive community of students, friends and supporters whose lives have also been transformed through her guidance and commitment to helping people reconnect with their innate wisdom.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t \n\t\t\t\t\n\u201cI think in general people are looking for tools to live a life that is fulfilling, joyful and purposeful.<\/b> You need tools to do that, and yoga provides tools to cope with life's ups and downs and to cope with whatever comes at you,\u201d she says. \t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/blockquote>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
