Rooted in Yoga, Healing, & Community
I’m Jot Anant, a Yoga educator, bodyworker, & sound healer devoted to supporting embodied, wholehearted living through healing practices, spiritual connection, & community care.
My work weaves together traditional Yoga, therapeutic bodywork, sound healing, meditation, breathwork, & restorative practices that help people reconnect with themselves, their bodies, & the deeper rhythms of life.
At the heart of everything I offer is the belief that healing & spiritual practice should be accessible, grounded, & rooted in authentic human connection.
My Path
Yoga entered my life during a period of deep inner questioning & transformation. What began as a physical practice slowly became a path back to myself, offering grounding, clarity, purpose, & a sense of belonging I had long been searching for.
Over the years, my journey has expanded through study, travel, service, & immersive practice across Nepal, India, Indonesia, Costa Rica, & the United States. Along the way, I was deeply influenced by teachers, ashram living, Ayurveda, devotional practice, & the healing power of community.
These experiences continue to shape the way I hold space today: with reverence, humility, intuition, & care.
Teaching & Service
Rooted in community, accessibility, and lifelong learning, my work is devoted to sharing practices that support healing, connection, and embodied living.
Facilitated on 25+ Yoga Teacher Trainings
Supporting students on their journey to becoming Yoga teachers, & continuing to support those already walking the teaching path, is one of the greatest honors of my work. I’m humbled to facilitate Yoga Teacher Trainings locally & internationally, helping practitioners & teachers alike deepen their understanding, refine their skills, & grow in authenticity, confidence, & embodied leadership.
Akhanda Yoga Institute Leadership & Teaching
As former Program Coordinator & Community Manager & current Lead Trainer, for Akhanda Yoga Institute, I’ve had the honor of working alongside my Guru and an international team devoted to sharing & preserving the holistic teachings of the Adi Nath Shiva lineage. This experience continues to deeply shape my understanding of Yoga as a living practice rooted in service, community, & spiritual depth.
Community Leadership
As Associate Director at Asheville Community Yoga, I help support a nonprofit, donation-based studio rooted in service, accessibility, & community care. Through teaching, mentorship, programming, & community outreach, I’m devoted to helping create inclusive spaces where people from all backgrounds can access the healing and transformative practices of Yoga.
A living practice
To me, Yoga is not simply something we do on the mat, it is a way of living.
It is learning how to listen deeply.
How to care for the body.
How to move through life with awareness, compassion, and integrity.
How to remember our interconnectedness.
My hope is that these offerings support you in returning home to yourself and in discovering greater wholeness, meaning, and connection along the way.
Bodywork & Sound Healing
My work as a bodyworker & sound healer supports the body in releasing tension, restoring balance, & returning to a natural state of ease.
These sessions are deeply intuitive & grounded in the understanding that the body holds memory, stress, emotion, & wisdom. Through therapeutic touch, nervous system support, breath awareness, & vibrational sound, I create space for the system to unwind & reorganize itself toward greater harmony.
Sound healing works on a subtle yet powerful level, using vibration & frequency to support relaxation, emotional release, & energetic alignment.
Each session is personalized to meet you where you are, whether you are seeking physical relief, emotional processing, energetic reset, or simply space to reconnect with yourself.
