International and intentful Yin & Restorative Yoga teacher of teachers, Kali Basman, blends Buddhist mindfulness foundations with Anatomy, Physiology of the nervous system, and Chinese Medicine into a potent rejuvenative practice. She crafts innovative somatic sequencing to address root causes of stagnation in the body mind system and to coax Chi into particular healing pathways. 

Radiating with ritual, the integrated wisdom practice she offers is a tool to rise to your intrinsic baseline of tranquility, recall your innate ability for spaciousness, and remind your system of its unique anatomical, structural, and emotional wholeness.

Kali offers classes, teacher trainings, retreats and workshops around the globe. She is always happy and humbled to return to her home studio at Bhakti Yoga Shala in Los Angeles.

Kali pays reverent homage to the lineage of her primary teacher, Sarah Powers. As well her gratitude extends to an outer mandala of other major influencers she’s studied with on the path: Jack Kornfield, Pema Chodron, Judith Hanson Lasater, Paul Grilley, Govind Das and more, contributing to her integration of Buddhist Philosophy & the Dharma, Yin & Restorative Yoga, & Bhakti Yoga.
