About the Teacher
Why study with them?
My name is Mukti Devi, ERYT-500. I have been a devotee of Swami Satchidananda since 2010. I currently work as a psychedelic-assisted therapist where I support people in returning to their True Self – which I define as a state of inner freedom that is marked by being unencumbered from social stories or limiting beliefs. Bringing a background in trauma-informed yoga therapy, rehabilitative pilates, and many years on a dedicated spiritual path, I offer allyship and unconditional positive regard for everyone I work with, no matter their current circumstances.
I was born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Contemplative Psychology and Neuroscience, and a master’s degree in Transpersonal Psychotherapy from Naropa University in Boulder, CO. Most notably, I received five years training while living in India in both Tibetan Buddhism and Advaita-Vedanta while living and serving within multiple monastic ashram communities. I am a practitioner of Jungian Tarot, Shamanism, Chinese Medicine, Ayurveda and Vedic Astrology. Forms of self-care that I practice regularly include meditation, herbalism/plant medicine, drumming, yoga, qi gong, cooking, poetry, and walking barefoot on the Earth. I live with my beloved partner and plant family in Encinitas, CA.
