The balanced marriage of self-study, self-expression, and self-discipline are paramount to Hatha and Vinyasa yoga teacher Jasiri Nkalati. Determined to burst the myth that yoga isn’t accessible to everyone, she created a venue called Yoga City Tour, where she offers free community classes in different parts of the city. In 2014, she taught her first out of state Yoga City Tour Workshops in New Orleans and is currently planning more traveling tours both nationally and internationally. Currently she teaches at the Community Wellness Collective in Anacostia Ward 8, Latin American Youth Center, Yoga Noma, and Washington Sports Club. In the past she’s had the pleasure of teaching the staff at NASA Goddard Fitness as well as Kaiser Permanente in VA. She received her Health Coach certification from the Institute of Integrative Nutrition NY in 2012 and provides wellness services to women both nationally and internationally that are passionate about living a full life but also struggle with emotional and addictive behaviors connected to food, mind-body awareness, and self worth. Her services include Mindful Hatha/Vinyasa Yoga, personalized wellness coaching, Thai Yoga Massage, Belly Bliss Food presentations for learning how to identify and cook with whole foods, Dance Therapeutics, and detoxFRESH -a unique cleanse to help assist your best efforts for shedding away habits that no longer serve your best self. In 2014, she appeared as a featured guest on radio shows GoGoRadio and WOL 1450/93.9 WKYS to discuss her role as a service provider in the wellness industry. As a health coach first and aspiring author, she encourages and inspires others to come away from their thoughts and into their bodies in order to better assess their physical vitality, emotional and mental stability, and interconnectedness with others. She aspires to be a life long student by learning from her best teachers -her students!
