You will feel stronger and more aligned after just one class with her. Highly recommend for all levels - she has a way of making class accessible and challenging for everyone.

    – Anne Marie Herring, Yoga Practitioner | Austin, Texas

  • In the western world where yoga is diluted and corporatized, Yali brings the true essence of the art and science. Any class or retreat is an experience of truth, awareness and awakening. Her classes are grounding, soulful and challenging on every level. Beauty in motion. Not only do I seek out her classes, I recommend them to everyone I know.

    – Danielle Gustafson, Yoga Practitioner | Florida

  • I’ve been practicing with Yali for 5 years now consistently. Whether it’s a power vinyasa, a calming yin class, breath work or a flow and restore class Yali brings wisdom and the most blissful adjustments. Her experience, care and energy have helped me calm my nervous system, reminded me of my power, and have helped me understand and live in my body in a more profound and intelligent way. I’m grateful for every class and for all the support she continues to provide to me and the whole community. If you get a chance to witness her in action and to experience the magic DO IT!

    – Shirin Chalabiani, Yoga Practitioner | Costa Rica
