With Devarshi Steven Hartman

We all know the power of a good map.
A map gives you the wisdom of those who've gone before. It orients you when you're lost, saves you from going in circles, and shows you the most direct path to where you actually want to go.
Yoga has such a map — and it's one of the most illuminating teachings you may ever encounter.
In this experiential two-hour workshop at Roots to Wings Studio, Devarshi Steven Hartman introduces the Five Koshas — the ancient yogic model of the five interconnected layers of the human self, from the physical body all the way to the deepest essence of who you are.
Most of us walk around identifying with just one or two of these layers — and then wonder why we feel stuck, confused, or somehow not quite whole. This teaching changes that. It gives you a new lens, a broader map, and a much more interesting story about what it means to be you.
Through guided exploration, simple movement, breath, and reflection, you will:
• Discover the five layers of your being in a clear, practical, and even surprising way
• Understand how confusion, stress, and limitation often arise from mistaking one layer for the whole
• Gain tools to navigate your inner world with greater ease and clarity
• Experience a deeper sense of alignment, purpose, and — yes — inner freedom
No prior experience required. Just curiosity and a willingness to explore the most interesting territory there is: yourself.
When you have the right map, the journey makes sense. And what once felt hopelessly complicated begins to come beautifully clear.
Devarshi’s passion is human transformation—the mystery of how people awaken to their highest selves. His own journey has taken him into decades of yoga practice and spiritual study, complemented by powerful experiences in personal growth arenas including EST, Lifespring, LifeStream, ARAS, The New Warrior Training, The Mankind Project and the Avatar Master/Wizard programs. Since 1976 he has also been a dedicated student and teacher of A Course in Miracles. His time at Kripalu Center placed him at the crossroads of contemporary yoga, offering the opportunity to learn from nearly every leading yoga teacher of the past three decades, and to gather a treasury of transformational tools that continue to inspire his work.
Today, Devarshi teaches at world-renowned centers such as Omega Institute in New York, Esalen Institute in California, and other beloved studios and retreat spaces around the country. At home in Maui, he offers private sessions in Yoga Therapy, Spiritual Support, Transformational Breathwork, and Bodywork. He lives with his beloved partner Kaki, shares a retreat center and hibiscus farm with his son Patrick, and treasures visits with his daughter September in Los Angeles. Each summer, Devarshi and Kaki spend time in New England, continuing to weave community and share the teachings that light their lives.
