Overview
Ash Yoga, based in Burnaby, offers a nervous-system-centered approach to yoga that prioritizes regulation, resilience, and sustainable wellbeing. Founded by Ash, a teacher with over 15 years of experience across India, Australia, and Canada, the studio draws on traditional yogic wisdom and lived experience—including her own journey with Type 1 Diabetes. The practice is designed for busy professionals, homemakers, students, and retirees who seek more than physical fitness; it aims to support better sleep, nervous system balance, and overall health. Rooted in the philosophy that yoga is a living practice, Ash Yoga emphasizes authenticity and inclusivity, welcoming individuals of all backgrounds and abilities.
The studio’s mission is to provide practical, compassionate tools that help people reconnect with their bodies and cultivate inner safety. Classes and workshops are framed around the concept of “Tat Tvam Asi”—“You are it”—reminding practitioners that yoga is a path to self-understanding and conscious living. Whether addressing chronic stress, autoimmune conditions, or major life transitions, the offerings are tailored to meet people where they are.
Classes and Services
Ash Yoga provides three primary offerings: personalized one-on-one sessions, a five-week series on nervous system regulation, and community mantra and sound circles. The private sessions include tailored movement (asana), breathwork (pranayama), and meditation aligned with individual needs, helping clients build a sustainable self-practice they can return to anytime. These sessions are available in-home in Vancouver, Burnaby, and Surrey, making them accessible for those with busy schedules or mobility challenges.
The five-week series, titled “The Regulated Body,” combines education and experiential practice, offering clear understanding and tools for everyday wellbeing. Community sound circles use voice, rhythm, and sound to promote rest and release; no prior experience is required. Ash Yoga also hosts workshops and retreats, including a 10-day journey to Kerala, India, that incorporates daily yoga, meditation, Ayurveda treatments, and sattvic meals. This retreat provides an immersive experience rooted in authentic Indian culture and healing arts.
