ASHLEY DIXON

Ashley was first introduced to yoga in 2003 through community college classes. As a previous dancer and acrobat, she found in yoga a place to move and connect in a different way. After developing a meditation practice for several years, Ashley was led back to yoga in 2016, and soon after she completed her 200-hr teacher training at True Freedom Recovery Yoga in southern Ohio. Yoga has given her the freedom to be present on and off the mat. Yoga has offered a deep healing; giving way to self-love and self-acceptance. Ashley is very passionate about creating an environment of safety for each participant and providing a space to be authentically themselves. Yoga is far more than an asana (posture) and the possibilities are endless!! Ashley remains a student at heart. She enjoys workshops and trainings to further her self-practice and those of the participants she is engaged with. She is also deeply grateful to share yoga and learn from her fellow teachers. The deepest gratitude goes to the participants in her classes. Ashley offers a variety of yoga disciplines from trauma-sensitive, recovery yoga, hatha, gentle, yin, and vinyasa. She is very passionate about cultivating a co-created space of safety, choice-making, authentic experiences, interoception, and empowerment with each and every individual she interacts with. In addition to her 200-hr, Ashley has completed a 300-hr training at True Freedom Recovery Yoga, a 300-hr Kundalini training, and most recently, a 300-hr Trauma Center Trauma Sensitive Yoga Facilitator course (TCTSY-F). She has taught in various studios and substance abuse centers in and around Dayton, and has offered private yoga sessions since 2017.
