Teaching Philosophy

I believe we all have the infinite capacity for health and happiness and the ability to live from a place of joy and enthusiasm. The power is within us to create the life of our dreams and our yoga practice should be bringing us closer to those dreams. While you may not experience this in your daily life, the only one who can stop you from living this truth is you. And that is empowering!

Often times it is impossible to change the outer world, but it is entirely possible to shift our inner world, to examine and remove the obstacles that prevent us from living our best lives.

The practice of yoga is really a practice of understanding your Self. What does your body need? What does your mind need? What do you need to support yourself today?

Here’s the really amazing thing: It doesn’t require a radical shift in lifestyle, just small changes that culminate in larger shifts. What it does require is a radical shift in belief and intention! I believe your practices can do more to improve your life, your happiness, and your health. I believe you have the ability to create the life of your dreams. But here is the important question: Do you?

I am here to help you put this into action, into experience. In my teaching, I blend the ancient practices of yoga asana, pranayama (breathwork), and meditation with an understanding of Ayurveda and how it can inform our modern lives. There is no "one-size-fits-all” yoga practice and each of us thrives in our own unique blend of practices that meet our current needs. Whether you need to build strength, increase your mobility, invite relaxation, direct your awareness and energy, restore yourself- there is a practice for you and that is what I am here to help you find.

It fills me with so much joy to be able to share the gifts of Yoga and Ayurveda with you. Whether you practice live via Zoom, take a pre-recorded class, or decide to work with me one-on-one, I am here to support you in your journey. May your practice support you on your path to creating the healthy, vibrant, beautiful life you have always wanted.

With love,

Ashley
