Indra Devi Quotes
Born: May 12, 1899
Indra Devi, often called the First Lady of Yoga, was a visionary who wove the ancient wisdom of the East with the modern quest for love and connection. Born in Russia and later a citizen of the world, she believed that true union—with oneself, with others, and with the divine—was the highest form of yoga. Her teachings transcended mere physical postures, emphasizing the heart’s role in healing and harmony. Through her gentle authority and pioneering spirit, she showed that love is not a feeling to be sought, but a state of being to be embodied. Her quotes continue to inspire those seeking authentic bonds and inner peace.
