The Devanand Yoga Center is the only registered non-profit yoga organization in Houston, founded in 1993 by a group of enthusiastic yoga professionals wanting to share their lifetime experiences with those not yet initiated into the benefits of Yoga and a healthier life style.
We offer yoga beyond a monthly payment, we offer yoga for all! We believe all cannot afford not practicing yoga in their lives!
We practice the change we want to see in our world!
Holistic approach to yoga. Instructors are friendly and passionate about their teachings and way of life. Spiritual and physical awakening! Awesome experience!
I have been working out in Houston for 31 years (mostly yoga and pilates). As I have become more mature I am turned off by the "boot camp" class that leaves me more manic than serene. I recently moved and was looking for a yoga class near my home when I stumbled upon Devanand.
After my first visit it was obvious these people are not just instructing yoga, they practice it in their daily lives. I feel I am getting a great physical workout with personal, non-shaming instruction and leave class with my mind and spirit at rest. Finally......a true yoga class!
This is by far the best yoga center in Houston!!! Rafael is a wonderful instructor. He gets me ready to wear a bikini in 1-2 classes flat. Every class is different and varied. Every class provides an intense workout that actually relaxes you and helps to find a balance within and quiet your mind. Especially after long days at the computer, I love to go to Devanand Yoga - the experience is almost like an internal massage. You will work muscles that you didn't even know you have and sweat all of the anxiety out of your body. It makes you feel free. Plus everyone at the yoga center is so welcoming and nice and non-judgmental. Try it and you'll see!
While I lived in Houston I became a regular student at the Devanand Yoga Center. The level of spirituality that can be achieved through their teachings is just remarkable.
I would like to say how much I have enjoyed your yoga class. I feel that you have shown how true tranquillity can be achieved and how to achieve this peace of mind through yoga.
Your yoga class stretches the body in a very positive, energising way.
This is a great achievement, especially when most of us work so hard in our every day lives.
This is the best yoga center!!! It does an amazing job of combining the physical aspects with the spirituality of yoga, plus Rafael the lead yoga teacher does an amazing job making everyone feel comfortable and loved.
Devananda Yoga center is a personal place of peace for me, kind of like a spiritual home. I come here every Monday Wednesday and Saturday and find that I become a better person because of it. This yoga center has two very dedicated people devoting their time and energy to making their world a better place. Their names are Rafael and Yogeshchandra. Yogeshchandra is the drive behind this yogacenter's "running" for around 20 years ( I am not too accurate about the date). I cannot say "being in business," because Devananda Yoga center is not a business. It is a non-profit organization run purely for spreading the physical and spiritual benefits of yoga. In other words, neither Rafael the instructor nor Yogeshchandra the founder and spiritual nerve of this place draw a salary or any other form of financial remuneration from it. Anyway, the instructor Rafael, is the best yoga teacher you can find. The variety of his routine which changes evryday, the accuracy and lucidity of his verbal instructions as we flow through our poses, the depth of his intuitive understanding and mastery of yoga elevates our sessions to an art form. I always feel at the end of every hour and a half of the asana flow (officially it's an hour long class but it spills over to the next half hour or more) that we just performed a dance or moving poetry. Couldn't he record this personal aesthetic script of his, it would make such a rich original body of work that could sell, or at least the world could see and appreciate. But then that would be missing the spirit of Devananda yoga center which has been making this moving meditation real for so many people everyday for the last several years. Taking three and more classes per week times twelve months times nearly 20 years is a masterpiece that we cannot try to recollect or compile into a neat reproducible book of memories. It can only be lived in the mind body and spiritual awareness that comes through Rafael's class at the Devananda Yoga Center, equally for every practitioner. Thank you DevanandaYoga Center for being a part of my life.
