Meet Your Guide

Ali Nettles (RYT-200) is a yoga instructor based in Washington, DC.

Born and raised in Selma, Alabama, Ali teaches yoga to introduce others to the gifts of confidence, calm, and community that yoga has given her. She encourages authenticity and provides a “no judgment” space that allows students to let go and take flight.  In her classes, you can expect to laugh (at her or yourself), be inspired by those around you, and walk away a little taller than before — both inside and out. 

Ali is thrilled to be leading this trip that combines two of her favorite things — mindfulness and outdoor adventures.

NOTE FROM ALI:

“I’m so thrilled you are interested in joining this adventure!  2026 is going to be a year of forging new paths and elevating your life… Let’s start it on the literal mountaintops!”
