In this study, we describe the classical Bernoulli-Euler elastic curve in a manifold by the property that the velocity vector field of the curve is harmonic. Then, a condition is obtained for the elastic curve in a manifold. Finally, we give an example which provides the condition mentioned in this paper and illustrate it with a figure.
