About Founder

Led by the visionary yogini and spiritual guide, Bari Devaya, Devaya Yoga was born from a deep-rooted desire to bring healing and enlightenment to a world yearning for solace. At this sanctuary, the gentle whispers of nature and the rhythm of one’s breath set the stage for a transformative experience that aligns the body, mind, and soul.

Through the harmonious fusion of color breathing linked with movement and meditation, Devaya Yoga invites each practitioner to unravel the knots that bind them, unearthing hidden strengths and nurturing a profound sense of self-worth and self-sovereignty. In the nurturing embrace of this space, yoga becomes a way of life—a transformative odyssey of self-realization, connection, and unwavering love.

Devaya Yoga is a fusion of Hatha-Kundalini-Vinyasa Flow. Bari Devaya has been a certified Yoga teacher since June 1991 from the Kripalu Yoga Center for Health in Lenox, Massachusetts, USA. She further studied yoga (E-RYT 500) at the Nosara Yoga Institute in Nosara, Costa Rica. The center offers a variety of workshops, retreats, and trainings, all of which educate the public on the science of yoga and how it truly works.
