Our Story
The Kabbalah Yoga Institute was born from a lifelong devotion to understanding the bridge between the body, mind, and spirit. After more than 30 years of immersion in both Yogic and Kabbalistic wisdom, Raji Deva realised that these two paths—though from different cultures—speak the same language of awakening.
Yoga teaches us how to refine the vessel through breath, posture, and presence. Kabbalah teaches us how to receive and transform the light that fills that vessel. One purifies through practice; the other illuminates through understanding. Together, they form a complete map for human evolution—uniting discipline and devotion, action and awareness, form and formlessness.
The Institute was created to offer practitioners, teachers, and seekers a place to explore this integration deeply—to understand not just how to practice, but why we practice: to correct, expand, and return to the Source of light within.
Benefits of Our Approach
The integration of Yoga and Kabbalah refines both awareness and action. It helps students cultivate inner clarity, emotional balance, and spiritual maturity not as abstract ideals but as lived capacities.
Through this method, practitioners learn to:
- Recognise the subtle motivations behind thoughts, desires, and reactions.
- Pause before reactivity and consciously align with higher intention.
- Strengthen the “vessel” — the mind-body system that receives and channels divine light.
- Engage meditation and breathwork as gateways to genuine stillness and awerness.
- Bring these insights into daily life, relationships, and teaching.
The result is an integrated state of harmony — where wisdom becomes embodied, and practice can be integrated throughout daily activities.
About The Founder
About Raji Deva Elijah
The founder of The Kabbalah Yoga Institute was born in Israel and raised with an early connection to the rich mystical lineage of Kabbalah. Rooted in this spiritual heritage, her lifelong journey bridges the ancient wisdom of Jewish mysticism with the embodied disciplines of Yoga and meditation.
Over the past three decades, Raji has travelled to India more than twenty times, studying Yoga, meditation, and the philosophies of consciousness directly from their original traditions. Her teaching unites the depth of Eastern philosophy with the introspective wisdom of Kabbalah, creating a living synthesis that guides seekers toward inner stillness, clarity, and spiritual refinement.
Having lived across several continents, Raji eventually settled in Australia, where she built a life dedicated to both family and community. Alongside raising two children, she worked as a therapist and psychotherapist, and expressed her creativity through music, painting, and photography, all of which continue to influence her holistic and embodied approach to teaching.
Today, Raji brings together psychology, mysticism, and contemplative practice to offer an integrative path of awakening. Her work at The Kabbalah Yoga Institute weaves the timeless principles of both traditions into a coherent system to explore self realisation- the highest potential for human consciousness.
Our Community Vision
At The Kabbalah Yoga Institute, our vision is to create a global community of seekers who are devoted to conscious living, spiritual refinement, and service to the highest potential of human consciousness, which is to self-realise to be like the light of the creator.
This is not just a school, it is a living network of souls awakening together through self-inquiry, practice, group discussions and study.
We envision a space where yoga teachers, healers, and practitioners support one another’s growth through sincerity, reflection, and shared purpose to elevate human consciousness.
Each member of our community contributes their unique gifts and perspectives, enriching the collective journey.
