Illuminating Inner Light
Ali Nohinek
Retreat Host, Song, Hatha Yoga, Nidra Yoga, Tantra Yoga
Background
Yoga therapist, Traditional Thai Medicine practitioner, and home-schooling mother.
My path wasn’t linear. I spent years on medications, years in chaos, and years disconnected—chasing the next little delight. Through yoga, Thai medicine, Ayurveda, and understanding the elements, I slowly found a way to bring harmony back into my own life and into the lives of the women I serve.
I guide women whose inner light has dimmed — mothers and caretakers who have spent so long giving that they’ve forgotten what it feels like to receive. Women running on empty, soothing themselves with small comforts because they’re exhausted, and striving for perfection even though it’s quietly breaking them down.
My work is rooted in nervous system repair, feminine embodiment, and ancient yogic wisdom. It is my honor to support women in remembering their strength, their softness, and the parts of themselves they’ve had to set aside for far too long.
If you’re ready to take a breath that finally feels like relief—you’re in the right place.

“Ali is the most knowledgeable, kind, attentive, caring person I've ever met. I have had countless private yoga and Thai massage seasons with her. Each one is catered to my specific needs and is ALWAYS beneficial. I have been to countless physical therapists, as well as personal trainers, and no one can help bring my body to balance like Ali. AND, she is a ray of SUNSHINE!”

”Ali has been this bright, radiant light-being on earth for me. I was led through a couple of Shakti healing sessions with Ali. I believe this was the beginning of my spiritual awakening and a deep surrender to what is and has been in my life. I was able to start processing my traumas and form a new narrative and energetic frequency around my situation. I feel she acts as a guide and teacher in this world and is expressed through the different treatments and workshops she offers.”
