Asha Devarakonda
E-RYT 500 & Teacher Trainer
Asha Devakonda is a special gem at Blue Anjou and it is an honor that she has joined us. Our humorous bio doesn't really do her background justice.
Blue Anjou’s vision included elements of authentic Indian Yoga
and along came Asha with her warm eyes and beautiful heart.
Asha’s
yoga journey began many years ago in Hyderabad, India under the
guidance of her Guru Sri Venkateswara Rao who taught her in the most
meaningful and simple way and told her,” Yoga is for everyone,
anyone who has the desire to improve their physical, mental and
emotional health can practice yoga irrespective of their life’s
challenges”. She continues to study and learn from many
Saints and gurus from India and in Asha’s own words she
says, ”Teaching and helping people through yoga has been my
reward.”
Asha has taught people
of all ages, sizes, and backgrounds including celebrities, musicians and athletes over
the past 10 years and in 4 languages. Her style is total Hatha Yoga
with
emphasis placed on Pranayama and Kriya Yoga and her classes are
developed toward Yoga for Health.
She's is a published author of many
articles on the benefits of yoga and a prior radio personality where
she shared her knowledge about yoga. Asha has developed a Yoga for
Better Health chart and is the process of marketing this product in
order to reach even more people so they may experience the healing
power of yoga.
Asha has seen the miracles of yoga and its healing power through her students over the years and has a strong desire to share what she has developed through the inspiration of her students. Her educational background is extensive:
