Namaste,
I’m Sandhya Manne… and I absolutely love to tangle!
As India’s first Certified Zentangle Teacher (CZT #7) and a full-time artist, I’ve been joyfully immersed in this meditative art form for over a decade.
From cozy studios by the Bay of Bengal to buzzing online classrooms across the world, I’ve had the privilege of teaching thousands of enthusiastic students the magic of Zentangle. My journey has taken me into boardrooms too—sharing mindful creativity with teams at Texas Instruments, Wipro, Danfoss, Target, Marico, Kotak Mahindra, Asian Paints, and many more.
Teaching isn’t just something I do—it’s what lights me up. I’m obsessed with helping people discover their own creative rhythm, one stroke at a time. Whether you’re a curious beginner or a returning tangler ready to grow your skills, you’re exactly where you need to be.
So… are you excited? 😆 Because I can’t wait to welcome you in and guide you through this beautiful, relaxing, skill-building, creative Zen time that Zentangle brings into your life.
Let’s tangle together! ✨
