Amber’s yoga journey started 15 years ago and through all this time, she has continued to come back to her practice as a way to manage stress and anxiety, and to keep her body strong. Amber has used yoga as a lens to modify the way she identifies with the natural world and connects to each being within it. Her love and devotion for yoga drove her to complete her 200-hr YTT in 2022 so she could share this practice with others within our community.

(RYT - 200)

My approach to yoga centers on body awareness, mindful choice and practices that adapt to each students needs.

(RYT 200)

I offer a comprehensive teaching approach that seeks to expand the practice of yoga beyond the four edges of the mat. In my classes, you can expect fluid, strength-building sequences that settle the mind and amplify the voice of your body. As we explore the limbs of yoga together, I will always encourage you to meet yourself with gentle reverence. Though I cannot provide the perfect antidote for suffering, I design my classes to better equip you to build resilience in discomfort, ground yourself in uncertainty, and find equilibrium in chaos. When I am not practicing yoga, you can find me skiing at Mount Baker, basking beside the river or creating block prints on my front porch.

Vinyasas

(RYT 200)

Ashley would like to teach the importance of connecting body movement to breath as a moving meditation, and open the potential for each student to discover something they never before thought possible within their own bodies.

RYT 200

My approach to yoga involves engaging the whole person, mind, body and spirit. My hope is that though challenging the body, the mind also grows in discipline, peace and respect for all that comes with being a human.

RYT 200

I specialize in gentle, chair-based, and adaptive yoga, creating practices that support mobility, balance, breath, and nervous system regulation. My teaching style is practical, inclusive, and light-hearted. I aim to create a welcoming environment where students feel safe, respected, and encouraged, whether they’re stepping onto a mat for the first time, practicing from a chair, or simply needing a slower, more mindful experience. Yoga, to me, is not about performance or perfection. It’s about connection, dignity, and discovering what is possible in the body today.
