Djuna Devereaux
Djuna’s teaching weaves asana training, with somatic movement, biomechanics, and the wisdom of yoga and the Buddha Dharma, into each offering. Her sessions are crafted to cultivate embodied awareness, as well as strength and mobility, while supporting the body’s innate capacity to heal. As a long-time Dharma practitioner, she approaches the asanas as vehicles of insight, inviting us to awaken to present moment experience through the intelligence of the body.
Djuna teaches at Spirit Rock and leads their Dharma and Yoga Teacher Trainings. She is faculty for Prajna Yoga and offers workshops and teacher trainings internationally, along with annual retreats at Green Gulch and Tassajara. She is also a certified yoga therapist and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner in private practice. Djuna serves on the Sacred Mountain Sangha Leadership Council supporting her primary Dharma teachers, Thanissara and Kittisaro.

November 21, 2022 - Guided meditation: Knowing the Hindrances
As you breathe in and breathe out, notice the changing nature of breathing. As awareness receives your experience—the emotion, the currents of the mind—notice that it’s changing. Arising and passing within a field of knowing—in a matrix, or womb of awareness. Sometimes even if there’s a thought storm you can just notice. Is the awareness disturbed? Like a flock of birds in the sky—is the sky disturbed? In this way, align with awareness itself, this mysterious capacity to know our experience, and see everything arise and pass.
