mandira is a sacred space for healing, community, and transformation. We offer yoga, meditation, sound healing, workshops, ceremonies, and more. We honor the whole self, body, mind, and spirit and invite our community into practices that are soulful, inclusive, trauma-informed, and heart-led.

mandira is a beautiful Sanskrit word meaning temple or sacred space. To us, with deep reverence, it represents a return to inner peace, remembrance, and community.

We are located at 14 Sanford Street in the heart of downtown Fairfield, CT. We are walking distance from the train station.
