Meet All Teachers

My passion for practicing and teaching yoga comes from the desire to help others live a healthier, happier, and more embodied life. It has taught be to be more patient, balanced and mindful in all aspects of my life. in 2007 I enrolled in a 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training and upon completion, I began teaching classes to my colleagues at work. The experience was the start of a brand new path that brought me back to my home town where I have been teaching since 2008 at various locations.

I am Ashley and I believe a balanced life is a good one.  I offer yoga, life coaching and healthy tips in an authentic and accessible way for real people.  Yoga is a practice, not a perfect. My callings and passions include: yoga teacher, life coach, health and wellness blogger, loving mama and wife, songwriter, motivational speaker, active listener, creativity muse and positive thinker, not necessarily in that order.  I teach public yoga classes at YogaWorks in Tarzana, Woodland Hills and Westlake Village.

Yoga became an important part of my life as it became a refuge from the stress of studying in business and accountancy. It has then evolved into an introduction to being conscious of my health and well-being, now being a source for strength, agility, and peace of mind. I became increasingly interested in the practice, eventually deciding to share with others what this practice is to me.
