Devamurti

In brief

In 2003, motivated by a desire to no longer suffer and to find a sense of meaning and happiness, I was drawn to spirituality. I immersed myself in studying and practising various forms of yoga, meditation and healing modalities.

My practice initially revealed to me the painful truth of how deeply unconscious my life had been until that point, and my emotional wounding and character liabilities became more and more apparent.

Since then I have sat in hundreds of Satsangs and in long meditation retreats, as well as studying spiritual literature, western psychology and a four year course in Mindfulness Based Core Process Psychotherapy.

I felt it was important to establish myself as a dedicated yogi before being ready to teach a complete system of yoga and meditation. So I practised for around ten years and travelled all over the world meeting various teachers and gurus before beginning to teach. I became a Jignasu Sannyasin with Bihar School of Yoga and a qualified Agama yoga teacher and Satyananda yoga practitioner before creating The Heart of Tantra.

My approach to both teaching and self-practice is ever evolving, but my commitment to the unfolding of Truth is constant. The workshops and lessons I teach reflect that dedication, and are suited both to those with some yoga or meditation experience and to those who wish to explore deeper dimensions of reality.

This said, I also work with those who come to yoga as a form of physical or psychological therapy. I myself initially came to yoga out of a feeling of deep dissatisfaction with life, without even a real notion of awakening, enlightenment or liberation.
