Ashley
Like many who find their way to the slower practices, Ashley came to Yin not by avoiding intensity — but by listening to what her body was truly asking for. She loves the fire of Vinyasa and the heat of hot yoga, the aliveness they ignite, the strength they build. But it was in the stillness of Yin and Restorative that she found something even more profound — nervous system regulation, deep healing, and a coming home to herself that no amount of movement could replicate. Her body didn’t need more intensity. It needed permission to rest. To feel. To finally feel safe.
As a somatic trauma therapist specializing in complex trauma, attachment, and perinatal mental health, Ashley has spent 15 years walking alongside women in their most vulnerable and transformative moments. This lens of embodied, trauma-informed care is woven into everything she brings to the mat — creating a space that is not just a yoga class, but a genuine healing experience.
In the slow, intentional stillness of Yin practice, Ashley discovered that healing doesn’t demand more effort — it asks for surrender. That the body holds wisdom the mind has spent years trying to outrun. And that the bravest thing a woman can do is stop performing, stop running, and finally, fully, arrive.
As a teacher, Ashley weaves together her clinical trauma expertise, somatic wisdom, and nervous system regulation into every class she holds. Her teaching is grounded in her lived experience of profound personal transformation and her deep reverence for the sacred feminine. Her classes are less about flexibility and more about freedom — freedom to feel, to release, to remember who you were before survival mode became your default.
In Ashley’s Yin classes, you will be invited into the most radical act of self-love there is: stillness. She holds space with both professional depth and raw authenticity, creating an environment where every person who walks through the door — regardless of where they are on their journey — feels seen, safe, and worthy, exactly as they are.
Ashley holds her RYT-200 certification, trained through Rising Lotus, and has completed her Assist Training, with a foundation in Hatha yoga. Yoga is a regular spiritual practice for her — a way to come home to herself again and again.
Outside of the mat and the therapy room, she is a devoted mother to Joey and Sophie, a seeker of adventure, and a lover of nature, travel, and live music. You can often find her dancing freely in a crowd, standing beneath an open sky, or chasing the next experience that makes her feel most alive. That same energy — deeply feeling, empathic, and free spirited, — is exactly what she brings to every class.
