what people are saying……

“Sri was amazing! I loved her voice and her calming nature. The yoga nidra and the sound bath were by far the best I have ever experienced. I will be attending more of Sri’s retreats in the future!”

“Thank you to Sri for creating a beautiful way for us to learn, practice and heal together! Sri is an amazing human that brings so much passion and love into teaching. I cannot wait to learn more from her. After a 45 day chanting practice I feel so connected & empowered. Thank you Sri Devi!”

“I am feeling so much better and more balanced. I was so afraid of how I would react going back to work after 2 years. Having your guidance got me there and kept me steady. The practice suggestions were perfect for me. I can get overwhelmed easily and now have the perfect morning practice and tools I can use anytime to keep me anchored or to self correct. My attitude has changed too. My heart is more open. I no longer feel the anger rising. I have more gratitude than I did and less worry. I feel so much better now after these last six weeks. Thank you!”

“Thank you Sri for this opportunity to be a part of this wonderful group of women and to move deeper into my devotional practice. It has made a deep impression on me and one that draws me deeper with each chant. Thank you also for allowing access to the recordings indefinitely. Thank you and then a million more”

“Sri taught me so much about mantra, the goddesses Durgā and Kali, and how to connect with my inner fire to bring about positive transformation! She cares so much about her students and makes learning Sanskrit incredibly digestible. Highly recommend her!”

“Without a doubt, the best retreat I’ve ever done! Thanks Sri!”

“I’ve been very emotional over the last 40 days- in a really good and opening way. I’m working on making a couple big changes in my life, and these teachings with you have felt like an integral part of the change. I’ve been noticing unexpected possibilities popping up around me.
Also, adding beej mantras to my daily meditation practice feels like I’ve jumped so far forward into meditation. There’s no going back! I love immersing myself into the vibrations and simply noticing....everything.
Thank You!! ”

“I had the opportunity to do a Silent and Mantra retreat with Sri at Borestone Sanctuary. The experience was pure magic, the food was incredible, and she was a very professional and thoughtful guide. Highly recommend!”

“Wow what a life changing and transforming few months I was lucky to have with Melissa! She is the kindest soul and really helped me look at things in ways I never have before. I am forever grateful for the tools and encouragement she has provided me with through reiki/breathing techniques and helping me find a daily practice that works just for me. The in-person sessions were just what I needed at the time but so happy she also does zoom calls! I feel truly transformed and so ready to continue to do the work! ”

“Melissa is one of the most open-minded, intuitive, educated provider of reiki, yoga, and general healing guidance that I have ever encountered. I never felt silly for anything I said or asked about, and my treatment was so personalized and in-depth. It truly set me on a new path of healing and I am forever grateful.”

“Sri Devi’s Sacred Sound workshop opened up a whole world to me, more deeply attuned to the vibrations of the universe. Her passion and ability to teach and bring the deeper meanings of the mantras to light as well as the skill to teach the technical aspects of pronunciation and Sanskrit reading and writing have considerably deepened my practice. I am so thankful to Sri for sharing her wisdom”

“Thanks so much for a great weekend! Wow, Borestone Mountain is a beautiful place! I so appreciate all your care and attention to the rituals, chanting and I really loved the stories. The stories help me connect to the gods and goddesses and better integrate them into my life. So, thank you for that.”

“Sri Devi’s mantra course was well-organized. She is a very passionate teacher. I especially loved her storytelling! Throughout the course, she checks in with each student to see if they need any additional support. The Sunday night chanting group reinforced the learning and provided a wonderful space to practice. I always feel calmer and more joyful after our time together.”

“Diving into the depths of this immense ocean of ancient text and language is exciting and engaging. It is the connection between the feel of yoga, the sound of yoga, and bringing yoga to life inside of one’s self.
Sri ties in the archetypal energies and the mantras we use to invite these energies to come alive inside of us, a way to FEEL the sacred vibrations and sounds within. ””

“Sri Devi is a wonderful teacher who’s passion and enthusiasm for the Mantra practice is pure. I look forward to her Sunday night chanting group as I experience such peace and stillness from the effects of this practice.”

“This past Saturday, I took a Restorative Yoga with Reiki and Sound Healing class with Sri Devi Melissa Urey. It was my first time with this class so I did not know what to expect. I can say now that it was a transformative and spiritual experience. I had come to the class with some lower back pain and left pain- free.This practice will take you to a place of peace and tranquility. Try it,and you will feel the effects it makes to both your body and your soul.”

“Sri Devi is a gifted teacher and her curriculum is extremely well-designed. It is obvious she put a lot of thought, time, care, and considered the needs of every student.”

“Sri is exceptionally talented, magical and intuitive with reiki. She genuinely surprised me with her talents. I went into my first appointment with her feeling crippled with anxiety and left feeling completely calm in both my body and mind. It was incredible! ”

“I have been participating in Yoga Nidra sessions with Melissa for almost two years, and I will say that what she was able to do for me is simply remarkable. After years of grief following my husband’s passing, multiple life changes at the age of 72, ongoing anxiety, and many, many sleepless nights, her guided mediation has not only helped me with physical and emotional pain , but has, with each guided journey, brought me to places of profound introspect of my past, present and future. She is truly a gifted spirit!”

“I spent time with Sri Devi in India as well as numerous hours over the past two years on Zoom ~meditating, chanting and being guided through Yoga Nidra. There’s no question Sri Devi has a beautiful gift to share with the world. Every single time I finish a session with her I feel connected, completely grounded and deeply peaceful!”

“I started the first class last night and it was AMAZING! I did not know that Sanskrit was more than just an ancient language, it’s like a set of keys to open the gates of long forgotten pathways to our spiritual self”

“I needed a trusted person to accompany and guide me through my early intense grief, Melissa has been steadily instrumental in that process. She not only held space for the hard parts, she created space for my overactive internal systems to find ways to be calm. Melissa has a gentle yet powerful approach to energy work. She’s intuitive and steady. Whether through video sessions or in-person, Melissa provides suggestions to carry forward the session into the following weeks. She’s helped me through.”

“I’ve been a regular attendee of Sri Devi’s Sunday night chanting circle since she started offering it. She holds beautiful space. I always leave chanting circle feeling lighter, more joyful, more grateful — more healed. Sri Devi has been studying this aspect of yoga for years. You will not find a better teacher.”

“I have been a member of Sri Devi’s chanting circle for almost two years now. It is a great source of energy to tap into and contribute to. On a practical level, Sri Devi is a considerate and kind teacher - materials are present and accessible, procedure is explained in advance. Questions arising from the material are always answered, and promptly.”

“The pacing was perfect! It [the Sunday Chanting Circle] was fun and it felt great. I was feeling the vibrations in my heart and in my throat. You made it easy and accessible to someone like me who has interest but not tons of experience. You’re really good at this!!! Thank YOU!!!”
