Ashley graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy and served for seven years as a Surface Warfare Officer in the U.S. Navy. After returning home from back-to-back deployments overseas, a friend suggested she try yoga … and she’s been practicing ever since.
Ashley received her 200-hour Yoga Teacher certification through CorePower Yoga and her 300-hour Advanced Yoga Teacher certification with Noah Maze & Peach Friedman. She’s currently studying in-person with Tiffany Cruikshank & Yoga Medicine and has an additional 100+ hours of advanced training in myofacial release and therapeutic applications of yoga for spinal dysfunction.
Ashley believes yoga is for everyone — all bodies and backgrounds. Her teaching methodology is modern and approachable while respecting the sacred roots of the practice.
GUD Yoga was born from Ashley’s desire to share and hold space for community and self-discovery through yoga.
