About Us Image

heartist • poet • teacher

As a nonbinary mama ever learning + unlearning, each cell in our body is filled with creativity. Poetry, photography, painting, pottery, illustration, design… Art has blessed us as a dear companion since early childhood, and we adore sharing the joy of creating. A forever student of Yoga, we reverently walk a path more than 5,000 years old! With sacred wisdom compassionately taught by Susi Amendola, student of Swami Rama, we're honored to have been initiated in 2013 + certified in 2017. Building capacity is our calling! Nurturing intersections of vision + empathy, we hold space for compassionate inquiry and create thresholds of recalibration on our way toward clarity + freedom.

testimonials

Ashlynn is a guiding light in the yoga community. She makes everyone feel welcome and is able to hold space in a way that’s truly nourishing to the spirit. In each one of her classes, she helps us connect to the heart of yoga and remember who we really are-divinity in human form, transcending all boundaries. You can feel the heart centered nature of her classes through her words, her hugs, and the sacred pauses in between. It is so evident that she deeply integrates the path of yoga both in her practice and in her personal life- and we are lucky to learn from her lead 💗

Ashlynn's voice and pacing create a beautiful flow and they are able to connect mind, body, and spirit in every class! The verbiage allows me to visualize and feel exactly what they say, creating a very warm and welcoming environment. I have a deep feeling of calmness and peace in their class and love how they accept every individual where they are in their journey. Ashlynn has a beautiful soul and shares it freely with everyone!

I've been going to Ashlynn's yoga classes on Wednesdays off and on for a few months and I thoroughly enjoy them! They are so kind with their words, and their voice is so soothing. The poses they choose are so relaxing, and I love the relaxation they offer before and after -- it helps me wind down for bed. The series they did on the heart chakra really opened me up and I was filled with so much gratitude after one class -- I was crying tears of joy! Each class is unique; I highly recommend checking them out.
