Founders 

The time is now to bring the body back. 

NaiAsa Institute (formerly known as Soul Flow Alchemy Institute) was founded by a woman neuroscientist who became a fire-dancing yogini with a professional ontological life coaching practice and her husband, a former North America #1 ranked acrobatic paragliding pilot best known for his life-changing accident story told in award winning film, Infinite Stumbling. When they realized the powerful and rapid effects of combining flow arts, dance, yoga, and a few other essential ingredients into a cohesive program (called Beauty that Transforms), they knew they had to share their secrets for success with others.

With trauma-informed programs such as The Goddess Brain™ Coaching Journey, NeuroSomatic Flow™ Teacher Training, and NaiAsana Yoga, individuals eager to lead the new paradigms of healing, relating, and living that the future is calling for, can now access university-level training and professional certification.

NaiAsa has expanded its team to include graduates of the NSF Teacher Training, as well as luminaries in flow, science, Vedic astrology, alternative medicine, and dance.

They all share their love of movement. 

Whether you are seeking new tools for healing and transformation personally, or professionally, you've come to the right place! E Komo Mai (welcome in Hawaiian). It would be our greatest honor to connect with you.

Jinju Dasalla, PhD, RYT, is on a mission to share the medicine of “flow” and inspire the awakening, honoring, and celebration of the sacred feminine fire and wisdom within all beings. Dr. Dasalla is a co-founder of the NaiAsa Institute (formerly Soul Flow Alchemy), where she directs programs for individuals and organizations pioneering new paradigms of healing, education and transformational learning based in scientific, spiritual and somatic principles. These programs include women’s coaching journeys, retreats, somatic life coaching, and therapeutic flow arts.

One of Dasalla’s many passions include sharing NaiAsana™ yoga, her most recent creation, as a way for women to come home - home to the heart, the body, and the soul. NaiAsana is a Hawaiian-inspired somatic & shamanic healing practice weaving yoga, dance, and flow arts, to awaken the essence of the Sacred Feminine. Both on and off the mat, this vinyasa of spiral, rhythmic and cross-body movement patterns, often incorporating props such as poi or the hula hoop, powerfully restores and re-patterns the nervous system.

Dr. Dasalla is also a former Neuroscience Research Fellow of the National Institute for Health (NIH), a published author in the April 2018 Brain Research Bulletin, faculty member of Hawai’i Yoga Institute, and was featured in Elle.com, after her successful debut at Wanderlust 2016. She is also the author of upcoming book, Beauty that Transforms, based on the successful transformational coaching program birthed in Hawai’i.

She’s currently spending time in SE Asia with her beloved Nova and their 6-year old son, Sekai.

Head of opportunities

From 2010 to 2014, Nova Dasalla is America's #1 ranked acrobatic paragliding pilot who is also known for being the first American to pull off a trick called the Infinite Tumble. He is probably even more known for his film, Infinite Stumbling, that tells the story of his life-altering accident in 2009 when one of his routine maneuvers went dramatically wrong, smashing him into a mountain. Not only did he manage to learn how to walk again but he also was given the gift of embracing life, love, and gratitude on a profound level. This short film has been shown in multiple film festivals around the world. Nova still flies and is an extraordinary, living example of what it takes to face fears, engage flow, and always aspire beyond the norm.

Nova is responsible for driving retreat, teacher training, coaching journey, and 1-on-1 coaching engagement opportunities.
