Mindfulness.
Play.
Connection.
If you had a magic wand, would you give children lifelong confidence, inner peace, and unshakable self-worth?
​
I believe every child deserves joyful play, emotional resilience, and deep self-acceptance. Through the eight limbs of yoga, children can access a steady inner foundation—one that helps them navigate life’s challenges with calm, clarity, and confidence. My work in yoga, AcroYoga, and meditation is designed to spark self-awareness, connection, and joy—both individually and in community.
​
This isn’t just a passion—it’s a mission. I’m committed to making these tools radically accessible, especially for children, where the impact lasts a lifetime. Through transformative teacher trainings and engaging classes for all ages, I help educators and kids alike build confidence, connection, and lasting well-being.

How Did Deven Get Here?
In 2005, while doing relief work after the Indian Ocean Tsunami in Banda Aceh, I lived in a makeshift ashram—I came face to face with loss, resilience, and what truly matters. In that moment, I made a life-altering decision: to leave graduate school and devote my life to healing, self-awareness, and meaningful impact.
​
Within months, I was training at OM Yoga Center in New York City with renowned teachers Cyndi Lee, Frank Mauro, and Heather Shaw. I began teaching immediately—quickly building experience with adults, families, and children, and discovering a deep passion for working with kids.
Years later, at a packed workshop with Seane Corn and Sianna Sherman, I had a defining realization: out of 200 teachers, almost no one was serving children. That moment became my mission.
​
Today, I don’t just teach kids yoga—I train teachers to lead it with confidence, purpose, and impact. Because the world doesn’t just need more yoga—it needs empowered educators shaping the next generation.
