The easiest way for me to see if my clients are actually using their core is to pay attention to their shoulder rotation.

When I first started teaching, I learned “universal cues” to use in every pose for every person and my biology degree had me second guessing my yoga training.

Because shoulder blades back and down doesn’t work for every pose, and if that’s all you’ve got to speak to what’s happening in the shoulders, your clients won’t grow and will likely experience injury over time 🤷🏻‍♀️

We are welcoming a Winston Salem staple to the weekly line-up and so so excited about it ✨

is a WS native and has been teaching, building community, and making yoga a whole vibe for almost 10 years. She specializes in yoga for women’s health, for the 40+ girlies in need of movement for hormonal balance (hey peri-menopause, shall we meet so soon?!) but know her classes are accessible for all stages of life.

Her experience teaching to her private virtual members, in wide open spaces like Bailey Park, in schools serving confidence & self-love to our young women, and across a variety of studio spaces have all helped Ashley cultivate her passion & dedication to yogic practices into truly transformational teachings that are modern, real, and relatable.

Join Ashley at Lotus now twice a week!
✨Wednesday 6:15 pm (in person & virtual)
✨Friday 9:30 am (in person & virtual)

She starts Friday March 13th! Sign up to flow in Solar Flow, link in bio 🪷

Yoga was not designed and passed through generations and across borders to make us comfortable with injustice.

The Yamas are not vague spiritual concepts. They are ethical commitments. The first, Ahimsa, demands we oppose harm, even when it is carried out by power, justified through policy, or hidden behind the guise of safety and order.

Violence doesn’t become sacred because it’s official, and aggression doesn’t become moral because it’s normalized.

Ahimsa is the refusal to dehumanize.
The refusal to numb out.
The refusal to let hear harden the heart.

Action matters, how we act matters more.
Right action is rooted in clarity, not rage.
In duty, not ego.
In care for the whole, not domination of the other.

Yoga doesn’t ask us to be silent, it asks us to be conscious.

Choosing presence, compassion, and resistance to harm is not “apolitical” it is ethical. If our practice cannot hold this moment then we must ask who our yoga is really for.

May our practice help us stay human,
For ourselves and for each other 🪷

All beings deserve safety & liberation from suffering. We refuse to sit back and let the fear of 🧊 dim the light that glows in resistance.

See you in 2026 ✨

Tomorrow we start a new year, but we’re in the midst of deep Winter. Remember to move through this numerological transition at your own pace and on your own terms. Give yourself time to settle and nurture the seeds you’re planting. The long darkness of winter is like a womb, a cocoon, fertile soil…ripe for receiving your sacred seeds you will bring into fruition sooner than you think possible.

Join us tomorrow in the morning to start your year grounded 🪷

We kick off a special 21 Day challenge tomorrow which asks you to diversify your practice at lotus & commit to 15 classes in 3 weeks. Grab your bingo card tomorrow or Friday!
