DEVAYA YOGA and the ALTERNATIVE ARTS CENTER is a 200 and 500 hour yoga school.  DEVAYA YOGA is a registered mark where we incorporate the use of color and sound while practicing asanas as well as vinyasa flow(s).  DEVAYA YOGA is a Kripalu-Anusara-Kundalini inspired experience in which every-body (young and young-at-heart, big and small, athlete and couch potatoe) can practice this style of yoga and immediately experience its kundalini activating affects of improved well-BEing, physically-mentally and spiritually.  The learning environment is experiential in nature, fostering our own unique interpretation of Devaya Yoga so that each trainee is authentic in their nature.

    Attending the Teacher Training Program at Devaya Yoga and the Alternative Arts Center is by far the best thing I have ever done in my life. Bari is a very dedicated, knowledgeable, professional and approachable Yoga Teacher who creates an inspiring learning experience for all of her students. I found the Teacher Training Program very empowering with a great foundation for becoming a teacher myself. Bari is the sweetest and most kindest person I have ever met. I appreciate her enthusiasm for teaching and her preparedness that she brings to every of her classes.
