In Nicole’s words… 

I started practicing yoga to quiet my mind from endless rumination. I quickly learned that I could breathe louder than my thoughts, creating an immense release in my mind and body. I started teaching yoga in 2012 and have taught everywhere from the forests of Guatemala to corporate spaces, small groups in backyards to elderly in assisted living in memory care, and everywhere else in between. 

The breath led me to a conversion experience with Jesus Christ and ultimately back to the Catholic church where I have nearly completed my Master's Degree in Christian Spirituality. The merging of Eastern teachings with Western doctrine has become a tremendous passion that is both challenging and delightful and can be experienced through the cueing and meditative experience in my classes. I connect with the embodiment of Sophia, the deep wisdom of the body (and Mother Earth), and see Mary Magdalene as a feminine leader and first disciple of Jesus Christ.

She is registered with Yoga Alliance as RYT-500 and a Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Provider.

Her personal yoga journey started in Dallas in 2000 with the purchase of a video tape titled, “Yoga for Beginner’s”. Her love of the practice came along with the discovery of power yoga classes. With 2 years of practice under her belt, she received a teaching certificate from YogaFit and that changed her yoga trajectory forever. She knew then that teaching yoga was something she was going to do for a long time.

Fast forward to 2010, Ashley moved to San Antonio and started teaching full time at various studios around the city. She has hosted several yoga workshops over the years that have included topics such as pranayama (breathwork), relaxation, physical postures for beginners, and yoga philosophy. She has expanded the scope of her knowledge of yoga through various training courses and hours of teaching experience.
