As well as coming from an eclectic base its core practices are based on the Dr. Pillai system of Kriyas, Pranayama and Meditation, and its spiritual energy source comes through Swami Sivananda Paramahamsa (of Kerala, India). The Devon School of Yoga is a member of The Independent Yoga Network.

REGARDING POSSIBLE COVID LOCKDOWNS
Our priority and commitment are to deliver our courses and other events in person. If any weekend on any course are unable to run due to a possible government lockdown, it will be rescheduled. Any rescheduled weekend will be run with in person teaching. However, if on any rescheduled weekend a student feels uncomfortable to attend, it will be offered via online zoom as well. There are no refunds for course fees other than if we have to cancel in which case refunds will be given.

Our Holistic Approach.

“Arjuna, those who eat too much or eat too little, who sleep too much or who sleep too little, will not succeed in meditation. But those who are temperate in eating and sleeping, work and recreation, will come to the end of sorrow through meditation.” Krishna talking to Arjuna in the Bhagavad Gita.

The Devon School of Yoga’s Holistic approach believes that we are all here to find ways to express our own unique individual creativity.
