Ashley moved to Colorado in 2005 to pursue her dream of becoming a river guide and living in the mountains. It was there that she was first introduced to yoga as a way to survive the long, physically demanding and sometimes brutal season working as a raft guide. She would stretch every morning to prepare for the day and every night to unwind from the river, sharing her love for yoga with fellow guides. Shortly thereafter she traveled to Costa Rica where she obtained her 200hr yoga teacher training from the Nosara Yoga Institute.
Upon returning to the states, Ashley began teaching a variety of different yoga classes weekly. Devoted to continuing her knowledge of the body, mind & Spirit connection, she went on to study reiki in Colorado, traveled to Thailand to become certified in Thai Yoga Massage and worked as a river guide in Malaysia. She became a licensed massage therapist in 2013 and moved to Oregon in 2021. She now combines all of her studies, trainings and experiences to deliver well rounded, alignment based, challenging yet empowering yoga classes. Ashley wholeheartedly believes that the key to living a balanced and harmonious lifestyle, is through yoga, massage, breath work, self awareness and self care. When she isn't teaching yoga or giving massages, Ashley can be found hiking in the forest or out at the coast with her very special four legged friend, Agnes.
