bio
Hi, I’m Dev! I am the founder of Bija Yoga Institute and an international yoga educator. For over a decade, I’ve had the privilege of teaching yoga across the globe, leading retreats, workshops, and teacher trainings where people connect deeply both with the practice and with themselves.
My own yoga journey began at seventeen, during a time of deep introspection and longing for clarity. Not long after I had left behind my college studies in religion and education to fully dedicate myself to yoga. What began as a personal passion grew into a lifelong calling to guide others on their paths of practice and self-discovery.
At Bija Yoga Institute, we honor the eight-limb system of Aṣṭāṅga Yoga and draw inspiration from the Ghosh and Iyengar lineages. Our programs bring traditional teachings to life in ways that are both practical and deeply transformative, helping students embody yoga as a way of life.

Join Dev and Linda for an all inclusive week of yogi bliss in Bali, the Island of the Gods. This is your invitation to step away from the hustle and take time to pause, reset, and return to yourself.
You’ll spend six days at the stunning Puri Bagus Candidasa, a luxury oceanfront sanctuary nestled along the serene coastline of East Bali. Each morning begins with daily yoga and wellness practices led by Dev and Linda in our oceanfront shala, finding both strength and balance through their perfect blend of offerings for all levels. Our resort is home to a full service spa with everything you can dream of, including beautiful cold plunge pools overlooking the lush jungle. Three delicious meals per day honoring all dietary needs, in addition to unlimited fresh water, coffee, and tea, is provided for all retreat guests.
When you’re not on the mat, immerse yourself in Bali’s rich culture—snorkel in crystal-clear waters with turtles and ocean friends, soak up the sun on white sand beaches, experience a sacred water purification ceremony at Tirta Gangga, explore the vibrant Ubud market, and enjoy plenty of free time to do as you please. Bali has been Dev’s second home for the last ten years and it is her greatest joy to share her love for the island (plus her abundance of resources) bringing all your Bali dreams to life!
Whether you’re seeking deep restoration, cultural exploration, or meaningful connection, this retreat offers the perfect balance of play, practice, and rest. We can’t wait to see you in Bali!
