“I“, Devi Mohan
As the light of my soul salutes yours, I offer this humble reflection of who I am.
I am an instrument of healing through spiritual processes and Women Circles—a multifaceted spiritual guide, humanitarian, author, and inspirational speaker—driven by authentic expression rooted in lived experience.
My journey has been one of profound transformation, shaped by resilience, self-discovery, and a deep devotion to serving humanity. From navigating the trials of displacement to embracing my path as a global ambassador of love, empowerment, and conscious living, every experience has refined and strengthened my purpose.
Through Devi’s Women Circles, I create sacred spaces where women reconnect with and reclaim their divine feminine power. As a speaker, I advocate for unity, peace, and authenticity on global platforms. My healing work through the Mai-Tri Method uplifts and harmonizes lives, while my teachings in yoga, Conscious Dancing and holistic wellness support individuals in returning to inner balance and embodied awareness.
I am here to inspire and uplift—to dance and celebrate life, to courageously enter the depths of vulnerability, and to embody brave authenticity. I walk beside you on the path of self-realization, savoring every golden moment of service and meaningful contribution to another as the Self.
Joy is my second name.Love is both the path and the destination.
Welcome.
My Journey
Born in former Yugoslavia, Devi witnessed firsthand the terrible cost of war during and in the aftermath of Europe’s deadliest conflicts since World War II. A refugee at the tender age of 14, Devi spent the next two decades exploring the world and embracing a cosmopolitan outlook, living in Italy, the United States, several countries across the Middle East, India and Serbia. In 2018, Devi established her family home in Slovenia.
As a survivor of war, Devi learned material detachment and deep introspection at a young age. After a near-death experience ignited inner transformation, Devi expanded her horizons through an international education enabled by scholarships and sincere spiritual practice. In 2007, her spiritual pursuit deepened immeasurably when she met her revered spiritual guide, Mohanji.
In 2010 Mohanji and Devi married, forming a partnership with a higher purpose: service to humanity as one. In 2011, at two months old, their daughter Mila started her international travels and joined her parents on the path of experiential spirituality, accompanying them to various countries. Although married to an internationally renowned spiritual figure, Devi has always been supported by Mohanji to affirm and express her authenticity and inner power, honoring freedom as the essential aspect of true, unconditional love.
Women's Circle
Social Service
Yoga Teaching
As an international Yoga instructor, Devi passionately promotes the true, authentic and traditional form of Yoga taught by the ancient sages and Masters and codified by Maharishi Patanjali. Faithfully serving and living the ancient science of Yoga since 2007, the fruit of Devi’s devotion was the establishment of the Himalayan School of Traditional Yoga in 2016 by Mohanji and gold medalist in Yoga, the late Yogacharya Sanjay, whose love for yoga remains an inspiration.
As a senior certified yoga instructor (E-RYT 200), Devi conducts Yoga workshops and seminars across the globe (e.g. corporate Yoga sessions at the World Bank in Washington DC, workshops at various universities, advanced workshops for Yoga teachers, etc.), combining them with meditation, Yoga Nidra, and tangible spiritual processes such as Mai-Tri Method and Mohanji Energy Transfer.
Through her yoga and meditation sessions, Devi frequently contributes to Mohanji Retreats and elevating spiritual pilgrimages (Peru, Tibet, Sedona, India, Bosnia, etc.) organized by Mohanji Foundation around the world.
Movie Acting Experience
In 2008 Devi had the experience of playing the lead role in the movie Foreignchi Patlin .
Foreignchi Patlin made history in the Marathi cinema as the most popular movie with a foreign actress in a leading role. Devi received the prestigious Rashtra Bhushan award by the authorities of the Maharashtra state of India and continues to encounter her fans whenever she visits Maharashtra.
Based on her own experiences and insights (drawn from life as a refugee of the war in 1991, a near-death experience in 1999, and the many ups and downs of life), Devi made a conscious choice to walk a nonconformist path of genuine, experiential spirituality, always striving to lead by example. Through her life dedicated to service, Devi teaches people how to truly open their hearts, expand their awareness and blossom in all aspects of life. Serving humanity in this way is Devi’s higher purpose, her dharma.
