"Yoga is a way to freedom. By its constant practice, we can free ourselves from fear, anguish and loneliness"
About this Quote
As a celebrity figure who helped popularize yoga beyond India, Devi is also selling a cultural translation. She strips yoga of intimidating esoterica and repackages it as a technology of self-regulation: repeatable, accessible, practical. That makes the claim feel democratic - anyone can do this - while quietly elevating yoga into a moral and psychological toolkit. The subtext is that the real enemy isn’t the world; it’s the inner weather that the world triggers.
There’s also a subtle rebuke to Western hustle culture embedded in her wording. Freedom isn’t earned by conquering more; it’s practiced by loosening the grip of what conquers you. In an era when loneliness is increasingly discussed as a public-health issue and anxiety is treated like a default setting, Devi’s pitch lands as both soothing and shrewd: not “escape your life,” but train your nervous system until life stops feeling like a trap.
