RADIANT SUN
Integrating Yoga, Ayurveda, and Traditional Healing for a Sustainable Future
In-person in Mansfield, Texas — or worldwide via Zoom.
A comprehensive ecosystem for healing, learning, and restoration.
Three branches — one root. Radiant Sun Academy, Radiant Sun Medicine, and Radiant Sun Foundation; each tending a different facet of a single tradition.
Academy
Yoga, Ayurveda, and Tantra — traditionally studied together, each illuminating the others.
Yoga refines attention and perception. Ayurveda offers a framework for rhythm, imbalance, and the conditions of the body. Tantric sources inform the work through embodiment, attention, and direct perception. Meditation instruction, seasonal practice series, and private study provide entry points; those who wish to go further continue into the summer teacher training.

Medicine
Clinical clarity, guided by ancient intelligence.
Our work is grounded in medical systems that have observed the human body for thousands of years — not as machinery, but as an intelligent, responsive system. Ayurveda and Traditional Thai Medicine read patterns: digestion, energy, pain, rhythm, recovery. Sessions are precise, personal, and unrushed — each step forward intentional and effective.

Foundation
A physical sanctuary dedicated to rest, restoration, and traditional healing — integrated with regenerative land use.
Establishing a physical place where clinical care, family life, education, and responsible land use are practiced together — in a clear, functional, and sustainable way.

Our Lineage
Radiant Sun was founded by James and Ali Nohinek, whose combined decades of clinical experience and traditional study form the foundation of every practice we offer.
James Nohinek
Ayurvedic Health Practitioner · Certified Yoga TeacherFounder · Clinician · EducatorA clinician and lifelong student of the classical yoga tradition.
James approaches both disciplines through careful study of the classical texts and the practical application of their principles in everyday life. His teaching often centers on close reading of the Yoga Sūtra and the contemplative recognition of samādhi as the ground of practice.
Within Ayurveda, his work emphasizes observing the body's signals with clarity and tracing patterns of imbalance back to their underlying causes — not as a system of lifestyle trends, but as a clinical tradition read through observation, reasoning, and lived experience.
Ali Nohinek
BS · E-500 RYT · Reiki MasterYoga Therapist · Thai Medicine PractitionerTwo decades of practice and 25,000+ hours of teaching.
Ali integrates structural awareness, energetic flow, and deep listening through touch. Her study of Traditional Thai Medicine, Ayurveda, and element theory revealed a way of seeing human health through how environment, movement, food, and mental patterns shape our wellbeing.
Her work centers on helping people reconnect with nature, with their bodies, and with the deeper spiritual dimensions of life that yoga was always intended to cultivate. She is also a co-founder of the Radiant Sun Foundation.
