​Program Instructor & Coach

​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.

My journey in meditation first began more than 10 years ago with a random book recommendation from a friend.  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 on a whole new level of calm and peace. On top of the peacefulness, I felt a kind of 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 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 wasn't always consistent, but it continued to be with me like a trusty friend especially during certain low points in my life.  From the time of discovery, the practice of meditation and centering myself in stillness started a ripple effect of events that would get me to where I am now. I ended up making a giant and scary decision to leave my hometown, moved to a brand new city because of a 'gut feeling' I couldn't shake off and I knew I had to go, I ended up finding my now husband and a love that I didn't think I would ever be able to find, and then moved across the globe to start working at a yoga & wellness center where I got to fully immerse in healing, well-being, yoga, & meditation.

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

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

Finding meditation has 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 and expanding.
The style of meditation I like to relay to others is a kind that is 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 in this beautiful journey of life!
 
​Namaste

​"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 MORNING 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!

​"GREATER CLARITY, LASTING BENEFITS"
I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND ALI. DURING MY STUDIES FOR MY YTT200 ALI LEAD LECTURES ON AYURVEDA, YOGA NIDRA AND YIN. ALL OF THESE COMING TOGETHER TO SHOW A PASSIONATE IN-DEPTH KNOWLEDGE OF WELLNESS AND HEALTH.
I HAD PLAYED WITH MEDITATION UP TO THIS POINT BUT ALWAYS STRUGGLED WITH GRASPING ANY LASTING BENEFIT. HAVING THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE GUIDED THROUGH EARLY MORNING MEDITATIONS EACH THEMED AND EXPERTLY LEAD, TOOK ME FROM A PLACE OF UNCOMFORTABLE NOISE TO GREATER CLARITY.
WHETHER ITS DELIVERING A TALK ON YOGA NIDRA OR GUIDED MEDITATION, ALI HAS A GIFT FOR CREATING A CALM, CLEAR SPACE OF SERENITY, WHICH ALLOWS THE OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE TIME AND GROW.
THANK YOU ALI FOR NOT ONLY EDUCATING BUT INSPIRING ME INTO INCORPORATING SUCH BENEFITS INTO MY DAILY PRACTICE AND TRAINING PROGRAMS.

"I WOULD HAVE PROBABLY GIVEN UP RIGHT AWAY... HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER"
I WAS SO FORTUNATE TO HAVE MET ALI DURING MY YOGA TEACHER TRAINING. SHE ADDED SO MUCH TO THE COURSE, SHARING HER KNOWLEDGE ON AYURVEDA, RESTORATIVE, YIN AND GENTLE YOGA, REIKI, YOGA NIDRA AND MORE. THERE IS SIMPLY SO MUCH TO LEARN FROM HER, NOT EVEN MENTIONING LEARNING FROM HER KINDNESS AND LOVING ATTITUDE TO THE WORLD AROUND HER. I'M GRATEFUL FOR HAVING BEEN INTRODUCED TO MEDITATION AND ENCOURAGED TO BECOME PASSIONATE ABOUT MY PRACTICE. WITHOUT HER KIND, GENTLE AND SUPPORTIVE GUIDANCE I WOULD HAVE PROBABLY GIVEN UP RIGHT AWAY. INSTEAD, I KEEP LISTENING TO HER GUIDED MEDITATIONS EVERY MORNING NOW AND I'M THRILLED ABOUT IT. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER, ESPECIALLY HER MEDITATION COURSE. THANK YOU SO MUCH ALI!
