About me
Ieshia Ali, Yogapreneur™,JEDI Master who submits to the will of the Divine,Lover of all things Sensual and Petite flower giver Goddess of LOVE is an enthusiastic native of Seattle, WA and long time Washington, DC resident. Ieshia is a certified yoga and Pilates instructor and studio owner. An extensive history of high school gymnastics and modern dance segued into a desire to maintain health, vitally and flexibility. In 1996, a pinched nerve brought on by years of punishing "cardio" and a recent car accident sent her seeking the attention of a chiropractor. To her surprise and instantaneous delight he introduced her to yoga as a means to manage sciatica and avoid back surgery. After her first few "club" classes she was devoted and soon after added Pilates to her work outs.
A diagnosis of Thyroid cancer in 2004 led Ieshia met this challenge head on with a wonder team of Western and Eastern healers from Philadelphia to Seattle. Her integrated approach to treatment has been successful and her personal practice has continued to deepen through this spiritual and physical experience. Her teaching style is a blend of pranayama, vinyasa, aromatherapy and Thai massage to create an experience of mindfulness and reflection of the individual as not simply human but celestial beings. She weaves interesting world beat music, mindful meditations along with focus on energetic anatomy and physical alignment. Ieshia believes that energy modulates alternating between highs and lows, motion and rest during which time, order and balance are restored to the system.
