Ashes Yoga Studio

10/14/2021

This page has been quiet for a while, but I see a few new people liking the page. It's time for a quick update!
The physical studio space on Front Street in downtown Poulsbo is currently for lease. I have decided to let go of the physical space and turn my focus to my online business. The business "Ashes Yoga LLC" is going great! It's just pivoted away from in-person local classes. This page will eventually be shut down, or simply merged with Ashes Yoga.
My current focus is on helping new yoga teachers with confidence, business and technology. On Facebook, you'll find me primarily in my group, Yoga Sequencing & Teaching Tips. We currently serve over 17k members and it continues to grow fast!
If you would like to take a Zoom yoga class with me, I'm offering 6:00am PST Morning Movement & Meditation. It's a simple 30 minute free class that I lead every weekday. You can sign up at ashesyoga.com/schedule. I hope to add a few daytime classes in time.
If you are a new yoga teacher and you want to work more in depth with me inside my membership for new yoga teachers (The Confident Yogi Club), you can find more information at ashesyoga.com/membership.

Yin yoga with Katherine is a real treat. A sigh of relief. A break from your crazy day or week. Currently, it’s our only super slow-moving, more relaxing class. Even masks can be worn comfortably through the entire class (although there is enough space to remove them while in practice). Yin Yoga happens every Tuesday at 6:00pm at Ashes Yoga Studio in downtown Poulsbo.

10/06/2020

You asked, we heard you!

Yin Yoga on Tuesdays at 6pm with Katherine.

🙏🏼

We have room for 6 students spaced out in the studio.

Yin (the balanced opposite of Yang) is a slower paced, slow moving practice. You’ll leave feeling renewed and relaxed.

September Yoga Studio Update

We're re-opening for in person classes (slowly), currently allowing up to 6 people in classes now-a-days and also still live-streaming on Zoom for those who are still hanging out at home.

In October (our 1 year anniversary), we plan to re-open with a more full schedule, still allowing just 6 people per class but bringing on several new teachers to give you the wonderful yoga-studio-feels we all know and love (and miss).

So excited to give you a SNEAK PEAK of our latest training we're working on bringing to you at the studio.

Details are currently being finalized. Please reach out if one of these programs is of interest to you. ❤️🙏🏼

Slowly transitioning back to in-person classes at the studio. I haven’t made a big announcement yet, but we CAN have up to 6 people in classes now. It will bump up to 10 when Kitsap County reaches phase 3. And honestly, we all need this.

I have been not-so-patiently waiting to re-open and I now finally feel good about moving forward with in person classes. Learning about other yoga studio’s progression and mistakes, I’ve been able to make the best informed decisions. And believe me, reopening my business is the main thing on my mind (next to how to be a great parent).

Hand sanitizer is still a thing. Masks must be worn until on your mat, only blocks my be borrowed from the studio prop collection, and I clean the place constantly.

For the month of September, our classes are all “hybrid,” meaning that we will be recording on Zoom and allowing students in class, too.

My hope is to open with a more full studio schedule in October on our 1 year anniversary, with 3-4 new teachers, and most of the classes being technology-free. A couple hybrid/Zoom classes will still be available each week.

I am excited for the future. I have some big projects and announcements coming up. But for now if you are interested in coming go in-person yoga classes, you now can!

Jenn is teaching a virtual live-streaming yoga class in one hour (at 10am).

The settings were set so you couldn’t sign up within 3 hours of a class start time. That’s now changed so you can register for class up to the minute it starts. 🎉

We recently switched scheduling softwares so that adjusting to time zones around the world is easier and the Zoom is automatically generated for each class.

This was an awesome practice. Unfortunately I experienced a tech issue and I’m unable to use it in our online class library (unless you want to listen to a high pitched screech the entire time.)

Thing like this are always going to happen. It’s life. We learn to let go and move on. I’ll make more videos and more yoga practices. There is always tomorrow, and the next day and the next day. Difficulties like this teach us to be resilient and keep going. Without hiccups, we wouldn’t learn. We wouldn’t get better.

Now I know better so I can do better... Lesson learned: don’t charge the wireless microphone receiver while using it. 😉

Hi! I’m Ashley. The owner of the little ol’ yoga studio on Front Street in downtown Poulsbo, WA. It started out as White Lotus Yoga, and is now known as Ashes Yoga Studio.

I can’t pretend that the last 6 months has been easy. But I can tell you that I have grown and learned far beyond what I might have, had we not experienced this pandemic.

The studio has been closed longer than it has been open (I took over and opened October 7 last year). I’m making it work, and will continue to do so. I honestly believe that I am one of the most resilient people I know.

Here are a few things I bet ya didn’t know about me, that have really helped me maintain strength (and stubbornness) to carry on.

#1 - I have a 4-year degree in Graphic Communications, minor in Mass Communications. I’m basically a wizard with computers, marketing and graphic design.

#2 - I was a college athlete, specifically a high jumper on the track team. I also earned strait A’s in school.

#3 - I grew up in Minnesota. The land of lefse and icicle-snot winters.

#4 - online business and marketing methods excites me more than any other topic. I dare you to look at my podcast library.

#5 - I often do things before I’m ready. Because of this, I now randomly live in WA, I’m mom to a toddler, and I own a yoga studio. What even is my life?! 🤷🏻‍♀️

#6 - I’m a runner and fitness fanatic. I’ve ran 4 half marathons and I used to teach fitness classes such as Bodypump, Turbokick, RIPPED, PiYo, Barre, and Yoga Sculpt.

#7 - Bonus: if you’re extra randomly curious, I am 31 years old and have a twin sister who is an elementary art teacher.

Now tell me a fun fact about you! What is something about you that has helped you stay strong in these last few months? Or perhaps what is something f you’ve learned about yourself?

It’s so nice outside. Therefore: Pop-up outdoor yoga class meets TONIGHT! (Sunday)

Meet up with the Ashes Yoga for an outdoor class at 6:00pm at Raab Park in Poulsbo. We will find a place in the grass to practice together, with plenty of distance. All levels and ages are welcome. Bring your own mat. No cost, but donations are always welcome.

07/11/2020

Unfortunately (and also “fortunately” for everyone’s health and safety) we are not officially open yet, although we do have a few very limited classes in the schedule.

What we are doing in the meantime is working on our storefront advertising! That way, when we are open, people will remember walking by and saying “Ashes Yoga?” Most of our students find us by driving or walking by downtown Poulsbo. Our location is very convenient and we are all excited to be back soon.

Keep practicing. Keep coming back to your mat. Your efforts will not go unnoticed. ❤️🙏🏼

07/02/2020

Ready to get out of the house? We put two classes on the schedule for this Saturday, July 4, and we officially re-open with your favorite teachers and yoga classes on Monday.

Sign up at ashesyogastudio.com.

Before your weekend festivities, join us for either 8am (90 min) level 2/3 Ashtanga yoga OR at 10am (60 min) all-levels gentle yoga flow. 🎉🎊💥

Notes: masks are required to enter and while moving about the studio. They can come off while on your mat for practice. Please stay socially distanced, wash your hands, stay healthy and don’t come in if you are feeling unwell. (The usual chat). 😉

In Kitsap country, phase 2 allows for up to 5 students per class. When we jump to phase 3, we can have up to 9 people in classes. That means signing up early is a good idea. 🙏🏼

06/22/2020

ANNOUNCEMENT: The studio is taking a “savasana.” We will re-open July 6 for in-person yoga classes.

A few virtual classes will come back on the schedule starting June 29.

We will be continuing with a hybrid of virtual live-streaming classes along with our in-studio classes, to ensure everyone has yoga available to them.

See you soon!

——————

Savasana – a meditative posture in which one lies on one’s back that is typically considered a resting post in yoga. It’s a pose of total relaxation-making it one of the most challenging, an more rewarding.

June 2020 update for Ashes Yoga Studio.

"When will you have more classes?"
"When can I sign up as a member?"
"I want to join the studio."
"What does your schedule look like?"
"Do you have more information?"

^^^ All questions I've been getting this past week.

Short answer, the week after June 20th, we will be putting more classes on the schedule and bring back a lot of our teachers and classes. We've got a 200 hour yoga teacher training finishing up on the 20th. Weekend classes will be back on at the end of the month.

Virtual yoga class update – We will continue to have a virtual membership component. 6am morning movement & meditation will continue 4-5 days per week, and a 1-2 yoga studio classes will be streamed each week.

Visit http://ashesyogastudio.com for updates.

Yoga teacher training is back in action! Yesterday was supposed to be our last day of 200 hr YTT, but it was the first day we were able to meet in person since March. We will be graduating our amazing group of YTTs on June 20th. In-studio classes will slowly be rolling back on the schedule this week. Limit of 5, and pre-registration is required. If you’re on our email list, check back later today or tomorrow for more information. 🙏🏼❤️😉

Hang tight as I work on the schedule for June (last minute) and get all my ducks in a row for potential re-opening. It’s coming very very soon. The studio is clean, blue tape is down. Signs need to be designed and printed for new protocols, new waivers made, schedule updated and emails sent. Every current member’s rate will be discounted to $49 for their June payment. We are so close.

05/21/2020

All members receive access to our virtual library of recorded yoga classes. We’ve got 30 minute morning classes, 45 min sculpt classes, 60 min vinyasa classes and so many more.

Show us your outdoor yoga. Tag in a post or story.

We are eager to reconnect (first classes likely outdoors), but the first step is to stay connected and inspired by each other.

I’m inspired by those of you who continue to show up for our virtual classes. Those of you going on 5 mile walks every day. Those of you who are homeschooling kids, working from home and those of you who keep on keeping on.

Love you!

Happy Mother’s Day! No classes today. Enjoy your family and the beautiful weather. ☀️ ❤️
