About Ashlie

Hi I’m Ashlie! I’m a Yoga Therapist and Yoga Teacher in Oakville. I’m passionate about helping people feel better in their body so they can get back to the activities and life they love. Pain free!

 
 

I know what it feels like to be injured, in pain and completely limited in my daily activities. I felt stuck. Old. Useless. I felt like my body was failing me and it was out of my control.

It all started when…

Someone suggested I try yoga after I blew out my shoulder and rotator cuff cheerleading with the Guelph Gryphons and Cheersport Sharks. There were so many yoga studios, options of classes, teachers and communities to choose from. It was overwhelming! After some time, I ended up falling in love with the practice and community of Modo yoga (formerly Moksha Yoga). So much so, that I quit my corporate job and travelled to India for teacher training in 2010.

This is when I injured myself further thanks to my competitive and curious nature. I was trying to get ‘the full experience’.  Another major setback… or so I thought.

This experience fuelled my passion to helping my students modify their practice so it feels good to them. So it feels good to their body. My students were enjoying their modified practice but they (and I) weren’t seeing the progress we expected with regular practice. Why is this?

Yoga Therapy was the missing link! When you start to work on why things aren’t moving the way they should, you can make the changes needed to move better. Period.

My goal is to teach my clients to look at why. To gain clarity. To gain understanding. And finally to build towards true progress. This is how I Fuel My Flow. Working 1-on-1 with students lifts and magnifies my own energy. Seeing you do what you love. That’s my fuel.
