Founder & teacher
Meet Maneesha Sluyzer
A life dedicated to embodiment, connection and spiritual exploration.
Maneesha is a teacher, therapist and spiritual practitioner with more than 25 years of experience in therapeutic work, movement, yoga, embodiment and spiritual guidance.
Her path
Bringing body and spirit into conversation
Her work has evolved through different disciplines, including movement and posture therapy, Haptonomy, yoga, intuitive work and spiritual practice. Over the years, she has brought these experiences together into an approach that honours both the body and the spiritual dimension of human experience.
Today, her focus is on teaching, developing structured learning pathways and creating an environment where people can explore their gifts with greater awareness, grounding and discernment.
Why the school exists
A clear, structured and embodied space for learning
The School of Spiritual Development grew from a desire to bring spiritual learning into a clear, structured and embodied educational setting.
Maneesha believes spiritual development is not only about what we perceive or experience. It is also about how we relate to ourselves and others, how we make sense of our experiences and how we integrate what we learn into everyday life.
Based at Mahara Nivasa in Andalusia, the school welcomes students both in person and online, creating an international learning environment for people from different backgrounds who share an interest in spiritual development.
