Born in Hawaii and rooted in the spirit of aloha, PJ brings a natural calm and uplifting energy to his teaching. His laid-back vibe reflects his island upbringing, while his deep ties to New England and time spent with family in Florida give him a strong sense of connection and purpose. Now based on Florida’s Gulf Coast in Sarasota, PJ shares his passion for yoga and wellness with a growing community of students who value authenticity, strength, and flow.
With over a decade of experience in the yoga and fitness space, PJ is a skilled, advanced teacher known for his motivating and inclusive style. He earned his 200-hour RYT certification through CorePower Yoga, where he found his calling as a teacher and wellness guide. His classes — from restorative and gentle to power flows and yoga with weights — emphasize mindfulness, strength-building, and relaxation in equal measure.
Through Mana Flo, PJ invites everyone to connect with their inner power and move through life with purpose, positivity, and joy.
"MANA" is a deeply spiritual word rooted in Hawaiian and Polynesian culture. It refers to a sacred, unseen energy or spiritual power that flows through all living things — a life force that connects people to nature, to each other, and to the divine. It's about vitality, authentic presence, and inner strength.
In Hawaiian culture, mana is earned through living with integrity, compassion, and purpose — mirroring PJ's clean, mindful lifestyle.
"FLO" refers to the natural, effortless movement — both in yoga practice and in life. It calls to mind states of peace, focus, freedom, and being fully in the moment. In yoga, "flow" is a continuous sequence of poses linked by breath, emphasizing ease, grace, and unbroken connection.
In the Sunshine State, one flows from the warm energy of their spirit. This activity perpetuates more healthy movement.
– A journey of unlocking and nurturing your inner life force through movement, breath, and presence.
– A feeling of moving with natural energy, not against it — allowing your personal power (mana) to express itself freely.
– An invitation to live with intention, flow with purpose, and embody positivity, just as the instructor models through his life and teaching.
– A bridge between ancient wisdom and modern practice, blending the spirit of Hawaii with universal principles of mindfulness and physical vitality.
