About the Teacher

Devki Desai began her study and practice of Iyengar Yoga in Mumbai at the age of 19 under the  direct guidance of Sri B.K.S. Iyengar. In 1988, marriage brought her to Pune, where she deepened her studies at RIMYI under Guruji, Geetaji, and Prashantji.

For more than twenty years, she has been teaching at the mother institute, beginning with women and children at the request of Guruji himself. She has accompanied Geetaji to South Africa, New Zealand, and Australia for national conventions (2003) and in 2009 was blessed to accompany Guruji to Russia.

Today, Devki travels internationally to teach workshops, including in the UK, Canada, USA, Russia, France, and Indonesia. Her students often comment on her ability to weave together the philosophy of Patanjali, the precision and discipline of Iyengar practice, and an energy of youthfulness.

As a Senior Teacher at RIMYI, she currently teaches Intermediate Level 2 classes, the Sunday children’s class, substitutes in Advanced-level classes, and assists in therapeutic sessions.
