Janaki Bloch
Janaki was given the name Jai Gopali by her spiritual teacher, who she credits for her thirst for yoga philosophy and dedication to live a life more aligned to her true nature. Trained as a medical doctor, she left the world of medicine to find her calling as a yoga teacher. She has a love and appreciation for the human body, using her knowledge to help her students take care of the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual body.
Jai Gopali, born Janaki Desai, is an accredited yoga teacher offering yoga classes in Maryland, Virginia and Washington DC in the United States of America. She initially trained as doctor in the UK, where she worked as a junior doctor for two years before deciding to take a path more aligned to her gifts. She has recently moved from London, where she designed and implemented a new Yoga Curriculum in a primary and secondary school, enabling students from ages 4-16 years old to learn Yoga as a core subject. As a former doctor, her keen interest in helping others look after their health is a priority and she is driven to educate and care for others, particularly pregnant women.
