Hi everyone! My name is Leah. I am originally from Vancouver, Canada, but now call San Diego, CA, my home. I was finally able to get a picture of my yoga buddy, Tula! I am so grateful to be a part of the Devi community!
Join me for Yin Hour this week ✨
This Tuesday and every first Tuesday of the month, we gather on Zoom for our live community practice. Get ready for a slow full body stretch followed by meditation and discussion. Join us live or watch the recording –

I just finished the Foundations series (Loved it!) and would like to know when you're showing the split screen and we're doing both sides for 2 minutes, when I get to the other side to I have to use that pose or can I do a different one? Thank you
It's a wrap! The complete Yin Yoga Foundations program is now available in the membership.
I know some of you are still making your way through it, which is totally fine since it's a self-paced program. Wherever you are in the journey, I appreciate your participation in this member-exclusive launch. It's been really exciting for me to present this system of archetypes to you, since it really dives into the core philosophy behind the magic of Yin.
I'm especially pleased about the final Day 9 video: Yin Extravaganza. The videos for days 1-8 involved much more talking than we normally expect in a Yinin class—but Day 9 makes up for it. It's a 40-minute video that brings it all together. This is a video you can return to anytime you want a purely functional Yin practice with minimal cues. It's a full body session where every pose is yogi's choice, incorporating what you learn in days 1-8.
There's so much more to Yin than being able to achieve specific poses, and this program is essential for anyone who wants to truly learn. It's now an evergreen program in the membership for those who are ready to practice with more intelligence, intuition, and creativity.
I've received a number of questions over these nine days, and I'm beginning to round them up to make a supplemental Q&A video. Feel free to share any additional thoughts, suggestions or questions below. ✨
Day 9 | Yin Extravaganza: I...
I haven't written a poem in some time, but one came last night. called How to Catch a Butterfly.
Be still
There’s a moment when curiosity meets
Fragile on a fingertip
Design and beauty unfolds
Cherish it
Then watch as it moves on
The memory left, the gift
Not meant to be captured
Rather captivated within the heart
I power walk early in the morning for one hour, and then come home and do a Yin Yoga practice. Could you please tell me should I be stretching after that and then go into Yin, or go directly into Yin Yoga?

Day 1 | Welcome to Yin | Yi...
Our New Year's yoga plan is here 🤍
Daily classes, Tuesday Yin Hour, and a new Yin Yoga Foundations program
January is always a big time for yoga inspiration, and it's not just about New Year's resolutions. In the northern hemisphere, we're emerging from a season of darkness – which prompts us to take stock of what's important and to shed what we don't need.
This is a natural response to nature's rhythms, helping us clarify our values and goals. We emerge into the light, seeing what's important to create a more meaningful life.
This is why I've added some enticing things to the January yoga menu for us all. The yoga calendar begins with daily classes from Jan 1–11, including Yin Hour on Jan 6, where we'll honor the new year with a community practice on Zoom.
On January 12th, we launch the new Yin Yoga Foundations program – a 9-day journey exploring the nuts and bolts of yin. You'll be on your mat while you learn the unique approach and philosophy of yin yoga, gaining detailed insights to deepen your practice. This program is exclusive to the app, and you'll be able to watch it at your own pace anytime after it launches.
Find the full daily yoga schedule for January in the Calendar tab.
Sending you all my wishes for a joyful new year. 🩵 Devi
