Though the seasonal change of late September pulls us gently back towards indoor practices, it’s important to stay nourished by the abundant prana outdoors, even on rainy days. Some folks stroll in the rain and others just get wet.

Hi! I’m one of the co- founders of leelapod collective along with David and Yumee.

Alongside leelapod, I’m heading to this October to begin post grad studies on the visual history of yoga.

I’m happiest when I’m in nature, studying both Sanskrit and yoga as a forever student, sharing the practices I love with student friends, and being a mom to two awesome kiddos.

I have over 90 classes available on our video on demand platform for you to enjoy and offer a chance to connect in real time through livestream classes each week. Stay tuned for new offerings later this fall.

Don't hesitate to reach out with questions! There are indeed real people behind our virtual home on the web, and we are here to listen and to serve you!

Devon French is an incredible movement teacher, yogi and educator whose philosophy stems from the traditional teachings of the Ucwalmuc peoples of whom he is a descendent. For Devon this means that his work is first in taking care of himself, then his family, and then his environment.

“This philosophy is not a dead philosophy that I ‘know’ now so I can close myself off from new information. It is alive and part of my everyday life. I live it and learn from it each and every day, through myself and all my relations. Living this way is not always easy, yet if I am to teach then I need to be sure to consistently do my own work and walk my own path”.

Meet Devon in our livestream classes three times per week. Register at www.leelapod.com

She’s bringing her popular class Chair Lift back to .pod each Friday at 10am. Stay tuned also for some pre-registered workshops coming in October with her too.

Why not sign up a friend or older family member who can benefit from some gentle chair yoga and make it a weekly date this Fall?

“Practicing and playing outside has always helped me feel more connected. We are all everything...and when you move and breathe with the wind and the trees you can really start to feel that inside the physical self.”

Now that the sunshine is back, I am looking forward to reconnecting with my (almost?) post-pandemic self and a regular early morning patio practice.

SURYA DRSHTI: At sunrise and sunset the diffuse light allows our eyes to take in the full spectrum of light frequency that our pineal gland requires for healthy functioning. Make a practice out of gazing at the rising or setting sun, and feel the warmth and light touching your body from 93 million miles away. Our sun is the source of regeneration and life on earth itself.

SOLAR BHAVANA: Feel the healing emotions that arise through the embodiment of the sun (joy, connectedness, confidence, creativity, and vigour). One simple way to embody solar qualities is to practice surya namaskar, or sun salutations with an attitude of devotion to the source of us all.

Pranams to Shiva Rea for the ideas and interpretations of old yogic practices.
