Anusara, which means "to be with the flow of Grace" or "to be in line with your Heart" is a powerful style of yoga that was founded by John Friend in 1997. Anusara's philosophy emphasizes the goodness, wisdom and creative energy that are inherently at the core of every person. Through a playful and thought-provoking practice, Anusara invites students to align with their essence by applying precise alignment techniques and a clearly incorporated philosophical theme. With a great deal of emphasis on the power of community, Anusara classes offer students a safe, comfortable and fun environment where they can establish a deeper connection with themselves as well as form profound friendships with others.

Raised by a yoga teacher, Ashleigh began her dedicated exploration of yoga at an early age, and is honored to be the youngest Certified Anusara® Yoga Instructor in the world. Throughout 2008, Ashleigh traveled with and assisted the Anusara staff on tour with John Friend, accruing hundreds of study hours, which empowered her exponential growth. Ashleigh has been designated the 2011 Global Yoga Ambassador for adidas, teaching the methodology of Anusara to sponsored instructors worldwide through the program pioneered by Elena Brower in 2010. Ashleigh is dedicated to the study of Rajanaka Tantra as taught by Dr. Douglas Brooks and Medidation under the guidance of Sally Durgananda Kempton. Through years of Ayurvedic study, Ashleigh blends this ancient therapeutic understanding into her teaching, and often specializes in therapeutic yoga with elite athletes.  Ashleigh’s classes are fun yet powerful invitations to connect to your heart, your strength and your vision. Grateful to all of her teachers, family and friends who's endless love and support continually fuel her evolution.
