Meet Ashley, students are immediately drawn to the magnetic energy she exudes.  Her vibrant and bubbly personality is not just an attraction to yoga, but a testament to the profound healing it offers.  Beyond the physical practice lies a story of remarkable resilience.  Ashley’s journey through life’s struggles, including triumph over addiction – a subject often shrouded in silence – is an inspiring tale of transformation.  It was within the walls of an inpatient facility that she discovered the transformative power of yoga, leading her on the path to recovery.

 

Inspired by this, she left her career as a national sales trainer with a background in financial payments and pharmaceutical sales to pursue yoga, completing her 200hr certification in Bali in 2019 and her 300hr certification in Mexico in 2021.  She started incorporating ancient yoga practices into her recovery journey, Ashley found profound connections between the 12 steps and the wisdom embedded in yoga philosophy.  This deep understanding became her guiding light, empowering her to not only heal herself but also extend a compassionate hand to others.  With empathy and humor, she guides students, nurturing their self-love and helping them rediscover their inner strength.

 

After tearing her ACL two years into her journey, Ashley faced the dauting question of what a yoga teacher on crutches could do.  Undeterred, she embraced the challenge, thinking outside the box to continue her journey as a healer.  She introduced crystal sound baths in her classes and expanded to holing transformational sound healing and completing sound healing certification levels 1 and 2 in Bali.

 

Ashley’s story is a testament to the transformative power of yoga, inspiring others to embrace their own journeys with courage and resilience.  Join her on the mat, where her empowering spirit becomes a beacon of hope, lighting the way toward self-discovery and healing.
