House of Yoga Historical Library


Step quietly inside. The place might feel a bit crowded, but it’s the sort of chaos that only old libraries and forgotten curiosity shops know—a collection layered with whispers and oddities. Don’t be afraid to brush the dust from a long-forgotten video, or to reach into the shadows of the highest shelf. Who knows what treasures are waiting for a curious hand?

These digital corridors are lined with secrets—some obvious, others hidden. Somewhere among the stacks, you’ll stumble on the true heart of yoga, encrypted in voices, movement, and song.

It began back in March of 2020. We started recording classes and talks—kirtans, too—trying to bottle lightning while the world paused outside. Alongside these recordings, you’ll find archival footage reaching back more than sixteen years: moments from the past tucked away like rare artifacts. This isn’t just a trove of resources for your yoga practice—it’s the living, tangled story of the House of Yoga itself, sealed in time and mystery, waiting for explorers like you.

Meet Your Librarians:

Abhi Durga Devi & David Shiva Das

We are your librarians, Abhi Durga Devi and David Shiva Das—longtime students and stewards of the living yoga tradition. Over the years, our own journey has taken us from early days of teaching yoga in 2002 to building a community rooted in the philosophy and practice of classic Hatha and Ashtanga Yoga. Along the way, we’ve been fortunate to study under remarkable teachers like Manju Jois, Mark Whitwell, Godfrey Devereux, Doug Swenson, Sharon Gannon, David Life, and many more, whose wisdom helped shape our path.

As caretakers of this library, we invite you to explore a curated collection of texts, artifacts, and teachings that trace the lineage and evolution of yoga. Drawing inspiration from the devotional guidance of Ram Dass, Bhagavan Das, Naren Kamalakanta, and Russill Paul, we approach this work with reverence—honoring both tradition and discovery.

Whether you’re a scholar, practitioner, or simply curious, we hope our collection helps illuminate your search for knowledge, connection, and the deeper Self.

With warmth and respect,

Abhi Durga Devi & David Shiva Das
