I’m a 500-hour Registered Yoga Instructor, a 600-hour Ayurvedic Health Counselor, a Transformational Retreat Facilitator, and an Intuitive Astrologer. In 2022, I founded Queer Soul Alchemy.

Ohio is home. In 2017, I received both my 200-hr Yoga Teaching Certification from Yoga Central, and my Bachelor's Degree in Entrepreneurship from Kent State University. Since then, I have travelled internationally and domestically, spent time in various Intentional Yoga Communities, and deepened my personal practice. I was initiated with the name “Parvati Devi” by one of my teachers, Swami Sankaranandaji of the Sivananda order.

I have also been initiated into the Priestess Arts by several wonderful mentors, and spent time at the Goddess Temple of Ashland. I am a devotee of the Goddess within all beings. In 2021, I completed my 300-hour Yoga Teaching Certification with the Mount Madonna Institute in California. In 2024, I graduated from a 2-year Ayurvedic Health Counselor training program with the Shakti School of feminine-form Ayurveda and Tantra.

My travels have brought me to many places, and inspired my work with hosting both international and local Yoga retreats for queer folx and womxn in Northeast Ohio. A life-long artist, I self-published my first coloring book, Creatures of the Earth, in 2020. My second coloring book, 12 Signs of the Zodiac, was published in 2022. (See previews below.)

And finally, I’m a queer and nonbinary human. While I enjoy working with all types of people, I feel especially called to work with fellow queer and transgender folx, because when I was younger I always wished that I had more role models. My pronouns are they/ them. If you’re interested, you can read more about this on my blog.

I believe that Yoga, Ayurveda, Community, and Astrology have an immense healing ability to open us to the Primal Divine Energy (adi para shakti) within.

My sankalpa, or intention, is to cultivate safe spaces for our collective liberation and Self-expression, and to empower others with tools for their self-development and self-care.

Jai Ma! —Paisley Parvati Devi
