Ashley grew up in Vermont but has been moving all of her life. She first found yoga in 2006 at MTSU but really became regular with her practice in 2010.
After graduating from MTSU in May 2010 with a degree in Business Administration, she got a job in sales, but quickly found that was not her path in life. In 2011, she moved to Bangkok, Thailand to teach English as a second language. In Thailand, she practiced yoga at Absolute Yoga and Yoga Elements (one of the top yoga studios in Southeast Asia).
After training to become a Children's Yoga Instructor with Incy Wincy Yoga, she began to teach Children's Yoga to kids at international schools around Bangkok and realized her calling in life was to share the joy of yoga with others and even began teaching yoga to her students at her English school. The changes she began to see in her students prompted her to look for a 200-hour teacher training course.
She then moved to India to study yoga in the Himalayan mountains at Samyak Yoga for 2 months. She now holds both an Ashtanga and a Hatha certificate and is registered with Yoga Alliance as an RYT-200.
Upon returning to the United States in 2013, she became certified in Prenatal Yoga after studying under Katie Wise and Kirsten Warner at YoMama Yoga and became the 1st Prenatal and Mommy & Me Yoga Instructor in Murfreesboro. She is the only instructor in Murfreesboro registered with the Yoga Alliance as RPYT (Registered Prenatal Yoga Teacher). Ashley has also completed her training as a Birth Doula, also with YoMama under the teachings of Katie Wise.
She is very passionate about yoga and wants to share her love and knowledge of yoga with others because she truly believes in the benefits of yoga. Even now as a Yoga Instructor, Ashley is forever a student and is always looking to deepen her practice and become a better practitioner and instructor.
