Ashley West
I am a movement teacher, a Social Worker, a believer in freedom from addiction and a mama to one loveable puppy dog named Faith. I am passionate about helping folks feel at home in their bodies and at ease in their minds.My own practice began in 2019 after the tragic loss of my beautiful mother. I was newly sober, in immense pain, and longing for soul healing. Enter the practice of yoga. I found myself on the mat. I learned and unlearned truths about who I am and who I want to be. Yoga grounded me, it brought me back home to myself. I knew I wanted to share my transformative experience with others and completed my 200hr YTT. I quickly fell in love with restorative yoga and wanted to go deeper. I became a certified Restorative Yoga Teacher through The Branches in 2023 and have been guiding students ever since. I am now working towards a 50hr Yin Yoga certification.As a teacher, I aim to create a setting for my students to shine and reconnect with their inner beings in a judgment-free space. My classes offer a safe and nurturing environment inviting students to explore stillness, breath and taking up lots of space. What an absolute honour to help others reconnect with themselves through the power of yoga.
