Ashley has lead yoga teacher training and retreats for the past 8 years and is transitioning into psychotherapy, with a focus on mindfulness. Pre covid, travel and small venues with local music were her jam, but now she fills her time trying to make jam, rewatching Schitts Creek, or attempting an at-home workout, before realizing she should probably vacuum under the couch.
