Ashley Nielsen

Founder & Head Instructor

Hi, I’m Ashley the founder of Asha Summit Yoga. The word Asha comes from Sanskrit and translates to “hope” “inner optimism” or “purpose” which is the foundation of these classes. I’ve completed over 800 hours of yoga training and certifications, including studying traditional Hatha yoga in India, where I deepened my understanding of yoga beyond movement through breathwork, meditation, and philosophy.

I created Asha Summit because yoga and nature have been two of the most healing forces in my own life, and I wanted to combine the two to help others reconnect with themselves in a deeper way. I aim to keep my classes as traditional and intentional as possible by incorporating meditation, pranayama (breathwork), and yogic philosophy alongside movement. My goal is not only to guide students through a class, but to help strengthen their own practice beyond the mat and carry those tools into everyday life.
