Portuguese Bliss: 6-Day Yoga Retreat for “Finding Home” with Mahnaz

About Mahnaz:
After graduating from California State University of Northridge with a Major in Television, I spent a decade-long career in television production and game shows. During this time I understood the negative effects of chronic stress; anxiety, fatigue and lack of mental clarity. I wanted to improve my mental and physical health and went back to practicing yoga which I was introduced to during my college years.

My first experience with yoga occurred while in my early 20’s and a few years later I committed to a consistent daily practice. Soon thereafter I attended my first Teacher Training in the Spring of 2002.

In 2008, I opened my first yoga studio and seven years later opened a second yoga studio near Downtown Los Angeles. After working 6-7 days a week for over 10 years, I knew it was time to slow down and made a tough decision to close the doors to my public yoga space in 2018. Shortly after, with the encouragement of a long-time student, I began writing my first book, Finding Home; A Path to Emotional Stability and Self Healing. In 2022, I released my 2nd and 3rd books Finding Home 2nd Edition and Finding Home Journal. During this period I continued teaching privately along with conducting workshops locally and internationally.

Since launching my online platform in 2020, I have been teaching daily live classes, conducting monthly corporate webinars and occasional local workshops.
