Hi, I'm Devi. I help people find rest, recovery and healing through Yin Yoga. My programs are designed to bolster wellness, improve mobility and inspire personal transformation.
I founded Tucson Yoga Studio in 2003 and taught thousands of students there. My studio grew to a staff of 10 amazing teachers serving over 20,000 students each year. In 2007 I hosted a weekend workshop with Paul Grilley, and two years later I moved to northern California to begin extensive studies with him. This changed everything for me, and in 2013 I launched my Yin Yoga Training to share this groundbreaking system with other teachers.
As a Yoga Alliance professional trainer I've logged over 5,000 teaching hours since 2004. I'm triple-certified with full 200-hour certificates in teaching Hatha Yoga, Yin Yoga and Meditation with an additional 500 hours in Yin Yoga studies.
I have learned that yoga is most powerful for students when they understand one simple thing… it's more important to consider how postures feel rather than how they look. It's harder to teach yoga this way, but I'm passionate about helping yoga teachers discover the techniques to do it well. It's an approach that empowers our students to connect with their birthright – a deep well of inner resources for healing and transformation.
