Ash Baker

Through breath and movement, my teaching emphasizes cultivating embodiment and inner safety. Drawing on my own journeys of recovery and gender identity, I honor individuals where they are and hold space for their unique needs.Through inclusive artistic and movement-based practices, I invite students to find joy in the present through intentional exploration of and grounding in the senses. Tools I employ include meditation, mindfulness, breathwork, Ayurvedic wisdom, asana (yoga postures), and multi-sensory experiences.I completed my 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training at Sanapurna Yoga & Ayurveda Centre in Zurich, Switzerland, and will soon complete an additional 300-hour Yoga Teaching Training at Breathing Room Community, Yoga, and Wellness Center in New Haven, Connecticut.Beyond yoga, I have been long-distance road cycling since 2018 and completed numerous centuries (100+-mile rides). I believe that yoga is essential for increasing mobility, flexibility, and strength, as well as an amazing tool for recovery, healing, and injury prevention.My dog Lulu, who loves unconditionally and whom I love unconditionally, is one of my greatest teachers. I carry Professional Liability Insurance through Alliant Insurance.
