​Program Instructor

​Ali Choi

​​Hello! My name is Ali and I'm a 500 Hour Registered Yoga Teacher, specializing in Meditation and Holistic Wellness.

I have been the lead meditation teacher at Ananda Yoga & Detox Wellness Center in Thailand since 2018 and have taught Meditation in over 12 yoga teacher trainings to international group of students from over 40 countries world wide.

My journey in meditation first began more than 12 years ago with a random book recommendation from a friend - The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle.  I grew up in a Christian home, so I was familiar with prayer and quiet time and the kind of calming effect these methods of connecting to stillness had on me. But when I started practicing meditation, I found myself living life on a whole new level of calm and peace. On top of the peacefulness, I felt a blissfulness that would last for quite some time. It was nothing like I had ever experienced before, which was very intriguing. 

I used to have chronic social anxiety and depression and meditation was one of the only things that helped me feel better. 
I started studying and trying different types of meditations on my own and got a hold of as many books and audio books I could find from self-help, religion, and spirituality sections in the bookstores. In the initial years, I didn't fully understand what meditation was all about even after reading many books from renowned spiritual teachers. These were difficult topics to understand! I just knew that it made me feel better, so I kept up with the practices and kept learning more about it. 

My meditation practice continued to be with me like a trusty friend, especially during low points in my life.  From the time of discovery, the practice of meditation seeped into my life and started a ripple effect of events that would get me to where I am now. I ended up making a huge decision to leave my hometown, moved to a brand new city because of a 'gut feeling', which led to finding the love of my life (which I didn't think was available for me, ever),  got married, then moved across the globe with my husband to start working at a yoga & wellness center, where I was able to fully immerse myself in healing, well-being, yoga, & meditation.

For the past 5 years, I have been a part of a yoga & wellness community steeping myself in everything  yoga, meditation, detox, and holistic healing therapies. I learned from many teachers in Thailand as well as in India, then began my role as a teacher helping others find their path to fulfillment, inner joy, peace, and balance.

​These past several years have been the absolute best years of my life and it continues to today.  I feel that I am at my most balanced state ever; mentally, physically, and spiritually. This was something I didn't think could even be possible back in the day.

Finding meditation has absolutely been one of the greatest gifts of my life and I'm beyond thrilled to be able to share everything I have learned over the years with those who are interested in learning.
The style of meditation I like to relay to others is a kind that is inclusive and applicable for real people living everyday life. You don't have to go into an ashram or a monastery and spend years in hermitage doing dogmatic practices.
​Meditation is available to everyone in all walks of life and in any place or situation.

I look forward to connecting with you on this beautiful journey of life!
 
​Namaste

THE CONTENT IS DELIVERED  DAILY WITH FOCUS ON BOTH DEVELOPING YOUR OWN CONSISTENT PERSONAL PRACTICE AND PROVIDING THE TOOLS AND TECHNIQUES TO DEVELOP MEDITATION SCRIPTS AND CLASSES TO DELIVER TO OTHERS. WHAT SETS THIS COURSE APART FROM OTHER ONLINE MEDITATION COURSES IS THE WEEKLY CALLS WHERE YOU GET THE OPPORTUNITY TO DISCUSS THAT WEEK'S CONTENT WITH ALI.

"I WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND "
ALI WAS ONE OF THE TEACHERS IN MY YOGA TEACHER TRAINING IN THAILAND. WHEN I MET HER I STARTED TO BECOME MORE CURIOUS ABOUT MEDITATION AND AYURVEDA. SINCE THEN, ALI HAD THE CAPACITY TO SHARE WITH ME INFORMATION THAT I COULD REALLY UNDERDERSTAND AND ACTUALLY USE INTO MY DAILY LIFE AND BECAUSE OF THAT LIFE-CHANGING APPROACH I DECIDED TO ENROLL IN THIS GUIDED MEDITATION FACILITATOR PROGRAM. I FOUND THIS PROGRAM WELL STRUCTURED AND VERY COMPLETE.
WE STARTED WITH SOME BASICS OF THE MEDITATION PRACTICE AND DAY-BY-DAY WE TAPPED INTO MORE DETAILED THEORETICAL AND HISTORICAL KNOWLEDGE. IT FELT LIKE BEING GUIDED IN A PROCESS OF NATURAL UNDERSTANDING.
SINCE THE FIRST WEEKS OF THE TRAINING WE STARTED TO PRACTICE CREATING AND SHARING OUR GUIDED MEDITATIONS, WORKING TOGETHER ON ALL THE PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL ASPECTS AND EFFECTS OF THIS COMMITMENT. THIS COURSE ASSISTED ME ON 2 DIFFERENT LEVELS: A PRIVATE LEVEL AND A PROFESSIONAL ONE. ON A PERSONAL LEVEL TO CREATE MY OWN PRACTICE FOR MY DAILY LIFE WITH CONSISTENCY AND DEPTH, ON THE PROFESSIONAL ONE, GIVING ME THE TOOLS TO GUIDE OTHERS, IN THE SAME VERY PERSONAL WAY TO APPROACH THEIR PRACTICE. IT HAS BEEN A REAL JOURNEY, THAT MADE ME REALIZE HOW MUCH WORK I CAN DO TO ACHIEVE PEACE AND WELLNESS. ALI HAS THE ABILITY TO MAKE ME FEEL COMFORTABLE AND NEVER JUDGED, SHE PAYS ATTENTION TO EVERY SINGLE STUDENT OF HER PROGRAM, LISTENING TO THEIR NEEDS AND FEELINGS, DURING ALL THE DURATION OF THE TRAINING AND THAT WAS DEEPLY TRANSFORMATIVE FOR ME.
I FOUND THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE MYSELF AND OPENING UP IN A SAFE AND SUPPORTIVE ENVIRONMENT AND THAT WAS THE BASE TO GROW FACING MY OWN UNCERTAINTIES. IF YOU ARE READING THIS AND YOU ARE FEELING DRAWN TO KNOW MORE ABOUT MEDITATION, I WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND ALI'S PROGRAM. IT GIVES YOU A LOT OF DIFFERENT MATERIALS AND A VARIETY OF METHODS TO FIND THE RIGHT ONES THAT RESONATE WITH YOU. IT WILL GIVE YOU THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF TIME AND KNOWLEDGE TO SLOWLY ACCEPT THE PROCESS AND GUIDANCE NOT TO LOSE THE WAY.  FOREVER GRATEFUL FOR ALL THE PEOPLE THAT I HAVE THE HONOR TO CALL TEACHERS IN MY LIFE, ALI IS FOR SURE A SPECIAL ONE IN MY HEART.

"OPENED MY EYES TO ALL THAT MEDITATION HAS TO OFFER" 
BEFORE MEETING ALI MEDITATION WAS A “CHORE” FOR ME- AS AN AVID YOGI I KNEW I SHOULD INTEGRATE MEDITATION INTO MY DAILY ROUTINE BUT I STRUGGLED QUIETING MY MIND AND BODY. I HAD DIFFICULTY CARVING OUT TIME IN MY DAY FOR SILENCE AND STILLNESS AND WHEN I DID I WAS AFRAID I WAS “DOING IT WRONG.” THANKS TO ALI’S GUIDED MEDITATIONS I’VE SHIFTED MY MINDSET AND AM ABLE TO INTEGRATE MEDITATION INTO MY DAILY PRACTICE! ALI’S GUIDED MEDITATIONS WERE THE PERFECT START TO MY DAY. I LEFT MEDITATION FEELING GROUNDED AND CENTERED IN THE PRESENT MOMENT, CONFIDENT AND RELAXED FOR THE FUTURE, AND AT PEACE WITH THE PAST; MY HOURS WITH ALI OPENED MY EYES TO ALL THAT MEDITATION HAS TO OFFER BY SIMPLY SURRENDERING! ALI’S RADIATES GENUINE POSITIVE ENERGY AND WAS ABLE TO PEACEFULLY GUIDE OUR MEDITATION THROUGH VARIOUS BREATHING, VISUALIZATION AND ENERGY EXERCISES. SHE PROVIDED THE PERFECT BALANCE OF GUIDANCE AND SILENCE, ALLOWING SPACE FOR US TO QUIET OUR MINDS AND BODIES. ALI GENUINELY CARES ABOUT EACH PERSON IN HER CLASS; SHE ALWAYS TAKES THE TIME TO ANSWER QUESTIONS OR DISCUSS YOUR PRACTICE. I WISH I WAS BACK ON KOH PHANGAN AND COULD ATTEND A GUIDED MEDITATION EVERY DAY, BUT I’M GRATEFUL THAT ALI TAUGHT ME TOOLS WHICH HAVE ALLOWED ME TO MAINTAIN A CONSISTENT MEDITATION PRACTICE AT HOME! THANKS ALI!
