welcome to mandira

mandira is a sacred dwelling for heart opening and remembering. Rooted in Sanskrit, mandira (मंदिर) means “temple” or “abode of the divine.” It carries the essence of mana (mind, spirit) and dira (dwelling, sacred space).

mandira is not just a place or a studio, it’s a frequency. A living current of devotion, presence, and transformation.

Every offering at mandira is a reflection of that frequency; intentionally created to support embodied healing, spiritual remembrance, and deep, lasting transformation. Our co-founders, Maggie Taylor and Sue Longo, lovingly curate the experiences you’ll find here. All gatherings are infused with care, reverence, and inclusivity. You are welcome here.

Some of our offerings include:

Yoga & Movement
Breath-led classes rooted in ancient wisdom, deep with intention and intuitive flow. We offer vinyasa, hatha, restorative, kundalini and meditative styles to support strength, balance, and inner alignment.

Healing & Embodiment
Somatic practices, nervous system regulation, trauma-informed guidance, meditation, and breathwork to release stored tension and return to your center.

Sound, Energy & Ritual
Reiki, energy healing, shamanic techniques, sacred sound, quantum and multidimensional tools for energetic alignment and spiritual connection.

Ceremony & Community
Soulful gatherings to honor cosmic transitions, mark sacred cycles, and deepen your relationship with self and others.

Art & Expression
Creative offerings that awaken the soul, visual art, music, movement, writing, and sacred craft as a path to beauty, truth, and transformation.

Located in the heart of downtown Fairfield, Connecticut, mandira is infused with intentional energy.
When you visit us, you will see that every detail is curated with a specific vibration; adorned with crystals, sacred symbols, elemental altars, and the resonance of sound. The space invites deep presence and holds an energy that is grounding, expansive, and alive with possibility.
