âMy favorite thing about yoga is that itâs time that I can go inward and become more centered, plus I love a good stretch!â
Meet Ashley!
I grew up in Connecticut. My family (husband, son, dog) and I moved to Rome from Lakeland, Florida in May of this year for our son to attend Darlington School and play on the schoolâs U16 Soccer Academy team as a goalkeeper. We also wanted to get away from the recently increased population and congestion in central Florida.
Iâve been doing yoga on and off for about 13 years⌠I initially started because it was part of the P90X and P90X3 workout programs my husband and I did back then.
Favorite yoga poses: My favorite yoga poses are Dancer and Tree - theyâre fun, challenging, and I like imagining that Iâm a dancer or a tree while in those poses.
Favorite local restaurant: My favorite âlocalâ restaurants arenât here in Rome, but they are âDowntown Eatsâ in Dallas, GA, âCavaâ in Kennesaw, and âAKAMI Sushi & Grillâ in Dawsonville. There are a lot of restaurants in Rome I hope to try soon so I can discover my favorite here!
Favorite foods: Some of my favorite things to eat are eggs benedict with avocado on gluten free or sourdough bread, chia seed pudding and fresh fruit or maple syrup, butternut squash soup, coconut soup, and the Avocolada smoothie (unsweetened with pea protein and ginger) from Tropical Smoothie Cafe.
Book recommendation: A book Iâd recommend is one Iâm currently reading. It is âSerenityâ by Jane Nelson and I am really enjoying it so far!
Job/occupation: My current job/occupation is âStay at Home Momâ, aka âHousehold Logistics Coordinatorâ, and âContractor Overseerâ while our house is undergoing major renovations. I have previously worked as a veterinary assistant and pet care technician at veterinary clinics, doggy daycares, and an upscale pet resort.
