A bit about the teacher Ashlea...

Ashlea first came to Yoga whilst travelling overseas in Morocco and Europe in the late 70’s and making her first visit to the RIMYI in Pune in 1979.After returning to Sydney in 1981 she completed a 6-month teaching course with Martin Jackson in Bondi, Sydney. Since then, Yoga has been woven into her life as a valuable tool in managing the many joys and pains that life presents. After moving from Sydney, Ashlea helped found the W.A. School of Yoga, Perth in 1985 with John Leebold, and started teaching whilst pregnant with the third of her four children. As well as managing the School she has been coordinating annual yoga retreats in Bali since 1994 with various teachers.In 1995 Ashlea returned to study with the Iyengar family in Pune on a regular basis as well as the Australian Yoga Convention in 2009 with Geeta Iyengar and 2011 at the National Convention in South Africa. She is a certified Iyengar yoga teacher and continues an ongoing teacher development with Caroline Coggins and other senior teachers here in Australia.
