Successful Stories

I have been practising yoga with Devna for more than 6 months now and have been enjoying it very much. Not only is Devna very pleasant and nice but also a very experienced Yoga practitioner herself and that makes it very easy to learn from her. I was an absolute beginner when I started and Devna has been able to guide and teach me very well and patiently. The classes with her always have a structured beginning of warm up and stretching followed by the middle section where she pushes me and where we are working hard together and an end where she makes sure we cool down and relax properly. I love that she respects my pace of doing the asanas / yoga postures but also encourages me to challenge myself. My strength, flexibility and agility have improved since I started practicing Yoga with Devna. I have every intention of continuing Yoga with Devna, as much as I can.

It has been amazing doing yoga with Devna. She has an excellent command over the different styles of yoga to customize a program suited to my needs, whether it’s a light stretch and breathing routine or a more intense full body exercise. I really appreciate the enthusiasm and preparedness she brings to each class. She is extremely patient with me, to teach every yoga asana and focuses on the smallest of details and nuances to ensure that I do it properly, balancing each pose with a counterpose. Her teaching style is different, customized to each student’s preferences and situation, rather than a pre-defined script. Yoga is synonymous with relaxation is what I have truly understood and imbibed because of her. I am fortunate to have found a guru like her. Thank you for really clearing my stress!

Starting my yoga journey with Devna has helped me connect with myself and embrace life's difficulties. Devna isn't just a phenomenal yoga teacher, she's also a friend, mentor, and sister to me. Devna structures the yoga lessons very personally, taking care of my injuries and ensuring my well-being in every session. Due to my work, I experience heavy back and neck pain. With Devna's professional methods and knowledge, she helps strengthen my muscles to reduce my pain. After each lesson, I not only feel spiritually lighter but also physically more content and calm. Thank you for making my yoga sessions so precious and for the experiences that have been valuable and heartwarming.

I am thrilled to share a testimonial for Devna, the amazing yoga instructor whom I have been practicing with for the past year. Devna's teaching style is perfect blends of friendliness, openness, and structure, which creates a comfortable learning environment. Devna always comes prepared for her classes, tailoring each session differently to address my specific needs and limitations. Her deep understanding of my individual limitations has allowed her to focus on strengthening my weak areas over time. Unlike my previous experiences with online and group Yoga classes, Devna's expertise has helped me grasp the basics and ensure proper asana alignment. Reflecting on my journey with Devna, I am incredibly grateful. I wholeheartedly recommend her as a remarkable yoga instructor. Her personalized approach and ability to inspire and educate are truly exceptional.

I have been doing Yoga with Devna for 20 months now. I never thought I had it in me to find the discipline to continue for as long as I have. I have fallen in love with Yoga, thanks to Devna! She made it wholesome by explaining every asana and its importance over and over again. It helped me understand what I was doing and more importantly why it was necessary to do so. She made it comfortable by understanding my weaknesses and strengths, and customising classes accordingly. A couple of months into it, I started recognising the change in my body - flexibility, agility and a better posture. My days were more productive and I felt calmer throughout the day. From trying to find excuses to cancel a morning class to looking forward to our classes, Devna has helped me shape a healthy mindset for a healthier lifestyle. I am very grateful.

I started yoga lessons with Devna after a very disappointing experience with another instructor that left me with an injured back, and very little faith in online yoga classes. Devna has changed all of that. Her classes are well planned, and she takes into account the needs of individual students in group classes. She's a patient instructor who constantly reiterates that yoga is about gradual movements and building of strength. As a good communicator, Devna is able to give clear instructions during online classes which go a long way towards ensuring students learn the right way of doing a posture without getting injured. She's pleasant, calm and creates an enabling environment in her classes which go a long way towards ensuring good learning and enthusiasm to come back.

I really enjoy my classes with Devna. I started taking personal classes with her more than a year ago, mainly to work on my flexibility and core strength, and I wanted a trainer who will be able to understand and modify workouts to accommodate my injuries. I've injured myself from workouts before, so I wanted someone who will make sure I execute the poses correctly, or give me alternatives - Devna did all that and more. She will ask me how I'm feeling physically and mentally and she knows how to adjust accordingly. She's a great experienced teacher who understands what the body needs, and helps you improve and get stronger. She also helps me become more aware and connected to my body and would also give me advice on food and supplements to improve my health. She's attentive and patient, she knows what I'm capable of and always encourages me to try poses that I thought I could never do. Previously I thought I wouldn't be able to do certain yoga poses because of the size of my body, but Devna dispelled that assumption. Now I trust Devna and know that if she thinks I can do it, I truly can! I feel really accomplished whenever I was able to do something new. Devna is also friendly and kind and she makes the classes feel good and fun. I feel that I have improved a lot since I started, and I look forward to having more classes with Devna!

Devna's yoga sessions have been a transformative part of my life for nearly six months now, and I am committed to continuing this journey. Initially drawn to her classes to address persistent lower back issues, Devna's personalized approach has been a game changer for me. Since joining, my back feels significantly better, and there's been a remarkable improvement in my overall well being. The integration of yoga with dynamic movements in Devna's classes not only keeps the sessions engaging but has also played a pivotal role in my physical recovery. Her inclusive teaching style ensures that everyone, regardless of their challenges, feels welcomed and supported. Beyond the physical benefits, Devna's holistic approach has inspired a shift in my mindset. Her teachings about holistic wellness have influenced positive changes in various aspects of my life. I am immensely grateful for her guidance, which has not only addressed my back issues but has also propelled me towards a more balanced and healthier lifestyle.

I have been doing yoga with Devna for around 9 months now and absolutely love the classes. My focus is mobility and flexibility and Devna is helping achieve that and more. Devna has deep knowledge of the yoga discipline and human physiology. In addition, she understands my strong and weak muscle groups and lifestyle. She customises every single class to not only work on different parts of the body but also towards goals such as improving asanas. She also advises on my overall lifestyle, wellness and fitness and her suggestions have made such a difference to my well being. Devna is knowledgeable, a great person and her classes are fantastic. I would highly recommend her no matter what the goals are.
