Hi, I'm Devi. Twenty years ago I was an addict with depression, anxiety and severe body pain. I was drawn to yoga for healing and recovery, but I kept finding myself in classes that increased my stress and insecurity with dogmatic alignment rules meant for people with very different bodies than mine. ​
​I almost quit until I discovered the intuitive practice of Yin Yoga. With Yin, I learned to follow my instincts to connect with a deep well of inner resources for healing and recovery. Now almost 50, I’m devoted to sharing this approach to help others.
In 2003, soon after I began teaching yoga, I founded Tucson Yoga Studio and directed a staff of 10 teachers with a full schedule of Hatha, Vinyasa and Yin Yoga classes. We served over 20,000 students a year and we were Tucson's favorite yoga studio for many years.
I sold Tucson Yoga in 2012 and relocated to the San Francisco Bay area where I entered into extensive studies with Paul Grilley. I joined MC Yogi and Amanda Giacomini at Point Reyes Yoga as studio manager and director of the studio’s Yin Yoga Teacher Training program. I’ve now trained and certified over 200 yin yoga teachers since 2015.
Paul Grilley’s influence runs deep in my teachings. I was among the first Yin Yoga teachers that he certified at the 500 hour level in 2013, and I carry forth his life-changing approach to yoga alignment. I’m also greatly inspired by my meditation instructor Lorin Roche who is the author and translator of the Radiance Sutras.
After 20 years of teaching in-person and managing yoga studios, I'm now delighted to be doing all my teaching online, where I've been able to share yin and yang yoga with a global community of students and friends.
When not doing yoga you'll find me dancing, hiking and swimming naked near my home in Southern California.

This is the second time I did this practice and really enjoy it. The idea and imagery of being hugged by my props and of my lungs hugging my heart with each deep breath are life-changing! Thank you so much!

[@DeviDalyYoga]

Wonderful! ❤️

[@sigray2734]

I have only subscribed to maybe six yoga channels in the last few years, and none of them have ever done child’s pose with the bolster on blocks. OMG! What a simple but effective difference that made. Thank you!!

[@ulindacargill1643]

Want to thank you devi. I decided in Jan. That I was hoping to roll into my 60th year thinner, fitter and flexible. Lost 15 lbs. Doing intermittent fasting. Your practices are yummy. My body is changing for the better. Including mind and soul. Thanks again my fellow human.

[@GPatPatterson]

This one was very very good for releasing emotions stuck in the body. I appreciate your distinction between not seeling an edge in a pose so much as seeking an opening of flow (ease). That instruction added a layer of healing in my practice. Thank you.

[@staceyg9861]

Doing this practice on New Years Eve, I have felt off all day. Even while in relaxing poses it was hard to breathe. Then all of a sudden I realized that I was no longer having trouble. It was instant and felt amazing. Going into 2024 with gratitude for your classes. Thank you.

[@martinedekerpel3523]

So relaxing, I love upside dragon now more this way. I was off the outer world inside mine. Thx❤😊❤.

[@hollyleighfield2076]

Thank you so much for sharing. Such a wondfull practice. I felt as if you really focused on curtain chakras within the body to release tension and energy build up. This is becoming a weekly tradition of mine to practice yin with you so thank you :)

[@sarahvale1643]

This is an amazing class. I practiced it on a day I just kept repeating to myself I just want to be held so I very much enjoyed the nurturing energy you brought and the practice of hugging the heart with the breath! Very much needed! Thank you for this wonderful practice I feel so supported in my body, emotions, and mind!:)

[@annishiplaniksz6428]

That has been the best restorative session I have done so far

[@DeviDalyYoga]

[@DeviDalyYoga]

[@carolpridgeon9387]

Again, I hope you don't get tired of my comments. And today I went even deeper into my practice because of your great gift of body awareness and the heart. So beautiful. Thanks again, Devi. Namaste'

[@carol7783]

This was a perfect class to start the week. The first time I was introduced to a Restorative class was many years ago after reading Rest & Renew by Judith Lasater. Also, using the bolsters in different ways made this class perfect & I always love to end a class with OM! Namaste from Orlando❤️🙏🧘‍♀️

[@DeviDalyYoga]

Thanks for practicing with me, Carol! Glad you enjoyed this. ❤️

[@cmitchell7347]

Really nice in the morning with low energy. Enjoyed the adaptations combining bolster and blocks. Chose to do Waterfall in lieu of Savasana and then was actually inspired to finish up time on the mat with a 10 min, gentle Vinyasa flow. 😊

[@DeviDalyYoga]

Love hearing how you moved through this practice. Thanks for sharing! ❤️

[@peggybenson1189]

Wonderful practice. Your voice is perfect with cueing. Very calm & relaxing. I like the timer as well.
