Hatha Yoga with Ashley – Trauma-Informed, Donation Based Class
This class offers a yoga practice shaped by over 25 years of teaching experience, extensive yoga teacher training, and a professional background in mental health and trauma therapy. It goes beyond physical postures, inviting awareness, presence, and embodied attention in a way that supports both mental and emotional wellbeing.
Sessions run for 75 minutes and explore gentle hatha sequences combined with breath work and somatic awareness. The emphasis is on moving consciously, developing a felt sense of the body, and supporting nervous-system regulation rather than working towards physical performance or fitness goals.
The class takes place at Nailsea Tithe Barn, a historic and spacious venue in the centre of Nailsea, offering a calm and supportive environment for practice.
Ashley’s approach is uncommon locally: a therapist-led, trauma-informed yoga class grounded in decades of clinical experience, yoga teaching, and movement training. The class is suitable for beginners and experienced practitioners alike, with options offered and an emphasis on choice, safety, and pacing.
