Ashley

Ashley’s journey into movement began with dance and soccer, when she was growing up in the Yukon Territory. She believes movement is essential for mental health, with her favorite activities including dance, yoga, barre, and golf. Ashley’s passion for barre took off over a decade ago during lunch breaks at her busy animation studio job, where she even inspired colleagues to join her classes. In 2018, she completed her Barre Basics training with The Dailey Method in California. By 2021, Ashley transitioned from corporate life to health and wellness, becoming a certified clinical hypnotherapist. After traveling through Central America and deepening her connection to yoga and hypnotherapy, she returned to Canada with a strong desire to teach barre. Her classes are known for being energizing and challenging, emphasizing mindfulness and body awareness. Ashley is also a writer, actress, and filmmaker, and shares her insights on her Substack blog, “Diaries of a Fake Guru.”
