After many years immersed in a hyper-connected, fast-paced city and professional life, Ashley found her way onto the mat—and never looked back. A work sabbatical in 2016 led her to Sellwood Yoga’s inaugural Teacher Training Program where she became a 200-hour certified instructor with a focus on Hatha, Restorative and Vinyasa yoga. She also completed the Kids Yoga Teacher Training at Sellwood Yoga in 2017, and actively teaches at her son’s Southeast Portland elementary school.

Ashley is passionate about sharing the healing, grounding power of yoga through classes that replenish and transform, using movement and breath as tools for connection. Her classes are balanced and accessible while cultivating strength and flexibility – usually set to a well-edited musical playlist.

Outside of teaching and chasing her two active boys – Bijan and Zia – around town, Ashley is a lifelong athlete who recently took up tennis as a passion and plays in the Greater Portland City Tennis League.
