Everyone agrees that DEVAYA YOGA: the Yoga of Color and Sound is preventative medicine. I was anorexic with some very dark thought forms (I was suicidal in thought-form) due to my low self – esteem from a lifetime of experiences from being stagnated in old, negative thought form paradigms. DEVAYA YOGA allowed me to see clearly the life I had lived as well as to see clearly the life I was currently living: I was and am living life to its fullest and I love my self and honor my self and am in great physical condition and experience great physical, mental and spiritual health. Finally, I have the great honor to share with you this wonderful mulit-faceted yoga,a fusion of hatha- kundalini and vinyasa flow. DEVAYA YOGA has been my bedrock for all the different things the Universe has thrown my way: my son had his leg amputated at 22 years old and at 29 he broke his coxys, lumbar vertebra, had his pelvis reconstructed, as well as he broke an arm and the other hand. This discipline helps me find the sunny side of life, “Everything happens for a positive reason” (Santosha). After all, I am from Washington DC, with many samskaras (cellular imprints) I have learned to ride the wave of the breath and watch the nonsense of the mind, in this majestuous journey we call life, here in Montezuma, Costa Rica.” Bari Devaya’s unwavering determination to heal herself, has led her to become a catalyst for change, not only in her immediate community but far beyond. She fearlessly tackled societal challenges, inspiring individuals to embrace their unique gifts and embrace the fullness of their BEing. With her magnetic presence and boundless energy, Bari Devaya leaves an indelible mark on the hearts of all who cross her path.
