Frank Manganaro

Frank began practicing yoga at an Iyengar studio in Atlanta, Georgia while working in the Information Technology field, seeking relief from the physical strain of long hours spent at a computer. He quickly connected with the benefits of the practice and has been dedicated ever since. After first visiting Asheville in 2004, he fell in love with the mountains and the area’s unique spirit. He relocated there in 2016, where he discovered Asheville Community Yoga and was immediately drawn to its energy and mission. Following his retirement from full-time work in 2025, Frank felt called to pursue teacher training and now hopes to give back by sharing the foundations of yoga with others. Outside the studio, he enjoys a quiet, home-centered life with his partner, close friends, and their beloved four-legged kids.
