We Are Devaya Yoga:
The Yoga of Color and Sound

Established in Montezuma, Costa Rica

"May all beings, everywhere, be happy and free. May the thoughts, words, and actions of my life contribute to that happiness and freedom for all."

Our History

Message From Founder

Let’s Heal Ourselves, Let’s Heal the World

“I know it works because I was once deeply ill—mentally, emotionally, and physically—when Devaya Yoga™ was being born. Today, I live with superb health and clarity. Devaya Yoga™ has been my medicine, my bedrock, and my way of transforming even life’s greatest challenges.”

Through decades of teaching, Bari Devaya has helped thousands embrace yoga, breathwork, bodywork, nutrition, and astrology as paths to freedom. Her radiant presence is a reminder that healing is possible for all—and that through our practice, we uplift not only ourselves, but humanity and the Earth.
