About Devachan Charitable Trust

Rooted in Tibetan Buddhist traditions, this Stoke sanctuary blends yoga and movement with meditation, mindfulness, and dharma study under the guidance of contemplative teacher Kalsang Tashi. The offerings include Astanga yoga practices aimed at softening physical tension, steadying the breath, and bridging movement with reflective inner enquiry. It functions as a gentle, contemplative community space tailored for anyone seeking self-discovery, quiet reflection, or practical spiritual grounding in daily life rather than a fast-paced fitness workout.

Visitors speak of an intensely calming, welcoming environment that feels like stepping into another realm, noting that sessions leave them feeling deeply at ease, balanced, and listened to. Located on Bledisloe Avenue in Stoke, it is one of two yoga studios within a kilometre, offering a quiet, philosophy-led alternative to the gym-based studio nearby. Our pick in Stoke for contemplative yoga paired with authentic mindfulness and dharma study.
