Ashton first discovered yoga 17 years ago after a childhood of athletics and dance. She immediately fell in love with the practice and felt she had truly found her calling in life. While studying Fine Art at The University of Colorado, Ashton spent as much time as possible on her mat. “Yoga has saved my life.” Asana helped Ashton to stay grounded and stress free during those tough years in college, so much so that after she graduated, she attended a 200 hour teacher training in Costa Rica. Since then, Ashton has taught in Northern California, Nevada, Oregon, as well as South and Central America. She has completed yin yoga training and studied Thai Chi. In November 2018, Ashton traveled to Northern India to complete her 300 hour training at Sattva Yoga Academy. There she received an intensive, in-depth education on advanced asana, Himalayan meditation, mantra, and Kundalini. Her most recent continuing education course took her to Lake Atitlan in Guatemala where she received training in sound ceremony facilitation known by many as sound healing. Ashton designs her classes based on the energy of those attending and holds space for all levels and ages. “Yoga should be fun and transformative with all stages of life.” Not only has yoga aided in relieving stress for Ashton but it also opened the door to spirituality. She has learned that yoga is not only a physical practice but also a journey within.

MISSION STATEMENT

My mission is to create a safe and sacred space for students to discover their infinite potential for healing themselves. Yoga is a spiritual and transformative journey that should be fun and available to all who are willing to go within and explore their bodies. By teaching with love and compassion, I want to connect with and inspire others to open their minds and hearts to fully embrace the ancient practices of yoga.
