Pubic classes, in-home private lessons, online training
The most important thing I like to tell all of my prospective private students is my intention as a private instructor. Flexibility training is a very personal experience. The challenge of flexibility, especially contortion training, is not just physical. My intention as a private instructor is not only to act as a professional eye to ensure safety and progress, but also to help hold you accountable to your goals, assist in developing the discipline required for healthy training, and to act as a mental and emotional guide through the training process.

In home private training:
One-on-one training specific to your body and your goals. All of my private lessons begin with an initial intake outlining your current state of activity, diet, hobbies and habits, availability, goals, limitations, and expectations. With that info we set smart goals (specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and time bound). Sessions are typically one hour long and include individualized active flexibility exercises, various stretch techniques, hands on adjustment, active range of motion drills and even massage.

Personalized training programs: online & in person
All personalized training sessions begin with a 1 hour initial intake and interview. During this time we will discuss your current state of activity, diet, hobbies and habits, availability, goals, limitations, and expectations. We will also move through some simple range of motion exercises to assess your current mobility. With the info we gather during your intake, together we will set smart goals (specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and time bound).

1. An outline of your current state of flexibility

Education and experience
A contortion practice that started by mimicking Cirque du Soleil as a little girl. A yoga practice that guided her as a teenager. As a Nationally Certified Massage Therapist, Ash was able to develop her passion for anatomy, physiology, and kinesiology. This study of the human body formed the foundation of both her training and teaching. In 2019 Ash worked as Assistant Director & Instructor for Catie Brier's Contortion Intensive, the program in which she once studied.
Training for movement and body awareness is ongoing. Ash has trained with some of the most influential movement professionals in the United States:
