Hi! I’m a yoga instructor, reflexologist, reconnective healing practitioner and prenatal thai yoga massage practitioner. I’ve studied the philosophy of, and practiced meditation & Yyga for over 11 years since I was a teenager. I am a student of metaphysical science and yogic philosophy & healing is my concentration. So far I have a master of metaphysical science and am currently studying for my doctorate with the 'University of Metaphysics' based in Sedona.
Yoga is a way of life for me; it’s not only something I practice when I am on the mat or sharing what I have learnt with others. I live yoga and aspire to help others do the same. Yoga has improved my life physically, mentally, emotionally & spiritually in so many ways and my goal is to share that gift with others.
I recently became an ambassador of 'Lululemon Athletica' on St Catherine Street, Montreal, where I am actively involved in their community events and involved in research and development of their products.
Aside from practicing yoga and meditation, I am fascinated with the Spirit world and have developed in Mediumship and Spiritual Healing and have given public demonstrations of Mediumship in spiritual churches and centres in Montreal and Toronto.
Although born and raised in Scotland, I currently live with my husband Joseph and our children Robbie & Tiffany in Montreal, Canada.

Testimonials:
"I loved the class with Ashleigh. I am now a devout follower of the Ashleigh yoga teachings. Great voice, positions, instruction and she has the patience of a saint. Even after the class I did not feel rushed. She is absolutely wonderful!
- Marianna, Montreal QC
"Ashleigh has a deep knowledge of the subject and is obviously really passionate about it. Her introduction to the Chakras was really good. This class also offered what I'm looking for: yoga as part of a spiritual path, rather than just yoga as a workout."
- Brad, Montreal QC
"Ashleigh is very knowledgable and loves what she does! She is a great instructor! "
- Nadia, Montreal QC
" I would like to say that I did an 8 class course with Ashleigh that combined different elements of many styles (including hatha, kundalini and tantric) which I found quite amazing. I've also done a lululemon class with her and it was more geared to the general public (i.e. easier to follow than just jumping in) Ashlegh cares deeply about her work and the people she teaches, I hope you try it out!"
