ABOUT ME
WHAT IS YOGA FOR ME
"Yoga brings light to my life, gives a special energy and inner power that I can apply in all situations of life. I'm not referring to the yoga that takes place on the mat, but much more. Yoga is not a physical exercise but a special way to live life. You can do yoga while breathing, sitting, eating, thinking, working, relaxing, at all actions or while not doing anything".
"Yoga for me is a life philosophy in action, ability to respond to live with a sense of gratitude, compassion and acts of kindness towards the whole life around us. What fascinates me the most about yoga is that it leads you to a practical experience of not being just the body and the mind. Serving and empowering people through yoga, helping them to find the source of the creation of their own inner joyfulness and peace is my intention".
With deep gratitude to all my yoga teachers.
NAMASTE
MY YOGA TEACHINGS OF YOGA ARE BASED ON:
RAJA YOGA
TRADITIONAL HATHA
ASHTANGA (VINYASA)
YIN
NIDRA
PRANAYAMA
MEDITATION
DEVAKI was born in Russia and grew up in Kaliningrad and Zurich. At an early age she learned the first aspects of yoga from her mother. Since childhood she has been motivated to movement and spiritual development.
After practicing yoga intensively in Switzerland for 10 years, Devaki has collected traditional Hatha and Ashtanga Yoga experience in the holy city of India, Rishikesh (at Vedansha International Yoga Academy and Vedic Science, certified by International Yoga Alliance). The ashram enabled an authentic learning of Asana, Pranayama, Meditation practice and Yoga Philosophy. "The rich spiritual knowledge and culture of this place impressed me deeply." After this journey, she began to change her life and adopted a yogic lifestyle.
In Mallorca, Spain (at Green Yoga International, certified school at Yoga Alliance International (USA) and Yoga Alliance Professional (UK)), Devaki has deepened her practice in various yoga aspects, such as traditional Hatha, Yin, modern Vinyasa Flow, Yoga Anatomy, Yoga Philosophy, Meditation and Ayurveda under blissed guidance of her teacher Atmarekha (Indrajit Dey). Atmarekha has the philosophy of the Great Sage of India, Swami Vivekananda (founder of the Ramakrishna Mission), and provided in-depth knowledge of yogic texts such as Vedanta, Patanjali Yoga Sutra and Bhagavad Gita.
Devaki is a Certified Kid's Yoga Teacher by Kidding Around Yoga for the simple conviction that the sooner one encounters yoga in life, the more blissed the path of life will be.
In addition, Devaki is a Certified Usui Reiki Holy Fire practitioner of the second degree initiated by Pascal Wallyn Master Reiki Holy Fire (affiliated member of ICRT - Reiki Membership Association), who is on the 5th level from the great master Dr. Mikao Usui.
Since childhood Devaki has practiced numerous sports and music. Yoga unites her passions such as dancing, piano and singing, jogging, admiring nature, snorkeling and diving.
"ROYAL PATH" OF YOGA
In Sanskrit, raja means ‘king" or ‘royal," referring to the status of Raja yoga as a "royal path"’ or principal form of yoga.
In essence, Raja yoga is the yoga of mind and body control, with a focus on meditation and energetics. It encompasses teachings from all the different paths, and it is from Raja yoga that hatha yoga and modern asana practice developed.
Since Raja yoga involves all three dimensions of human existence (physical, mental and spiritual), it enables practitioners to achieve balance and harmony on all of these levels.
Raja yoga refers to the ‘eightfold path’ to spiritual liberation. The biggest obstacle to a self-realization is a busy mind, in which excessive thinking, ego, craving, attachment and a separate sense of self all contribute towards suffering.
Working through the mind and body practices outlined in Patanjali’s eight limbs of yoga is believed to bring the practitioner close to an enlightened state of consciousness known as samadhi, in which it is possible to experience the true self.
8 LIMBS OF RAJA YOGA
1. Yamas - Five social observances: ahimsa (non-violence), satya (truthfulness), asteya (non-stealing), brahmacharya (chastity), and aparigraha (non-possessiveness).
2. Niyamas - Five moral observances: saucha (purity), santosha (contentment), tapas (self-discipline), svadhyaya (self-study), ishvarapranidhana (devotion or surrender).
3. Asana - Yoga postures.
4. Pranayama - Breathing techniques as a means of controlling prana (vital life force energy).
5. Pratyahara - Withdrawal of the senses.
6. Dharana - Concentration.
7. Dhyana - Meditation.
8. Samadhi - Enlightenment or bliss.
These eight limbs offer a systematic approach to calming the mind and finding liberation from suffering. Raja yoga ultimately transcends your identification with the body-mind-intellect to the nature of the true self.
