ASHLEY APPLE

Ashley, an American Taurus, began studying alternative medicine, energy healing, and Yoga at the age of 18. She began her studies with a two-year intensive in medicinal herbs and the physiology of the body.  With a focus on nutrition, clinical herbalism, aphrodisiacs, and earth-centered practices, she turned her attention toward the body.

After becoming licensed as a massage therapist, she realized that the most profound healing comes from the individual’s effort to maintain a healthy body in a harmonious alignment. As a student of Yoga for years, it became the next step in her practice to become a teacher. Trained already in various schools of Yoga and certified as a Kripalu Yoga teacher, she happened to discover Agama Yoga on her travels to Thailand in 2006.

Finally able to dive deep into the esoteric spiritual tradition of the Yoga system, Ashley found a community that has supported her practice and spiritual evolution ever since. She feels that teaching Yoga is the greatest offering she can imagine giving of herself, helping others to help themselves and to discover their True nature. 

Ashley began teaching with Agama in 2007 in Rishikesh, India, continuing in 2008 at our Koh Phangan center.
