Hi, I’m Ashley

Hello!

Growing up, I never really knew movement or stillness. My relationship with my body was shaped by a world that moved fast, and I didn’t have the tools to connect with it fully. It wasn’t until adulthood that I began exploring yoga and Pilates, seeking grounding, presence, and a way to move with intention. What started as a personal exploration became a deeper journey—one that continues today as I learn, practice, and teach.

I began teaching while balancing long nights in NYC’s hospitality world and eventually decided to pursue full yoga and Pilates certifications. Even now, I remain a student always curious, always exploring, and always learning how to move more thoughtfully and live more fully in my body.

Through my business 5B, I thrive to create spaces rooted in community. My goal is to cultivate spaces where people feel safe, supported, and truly themselves—whether on the mat, in a circle of strangers-turned-friends, or in the simple moments in between.

I am passionate about creating spaces where people feel safe, supported, and truly themselves - whether that's on the mat, in a room full of strangers-turned-friends, or in the simple moments in between.

My work is centered on bringing people together and helping them feel more connected to their bodies, to each other, and to something bigger. I aim to lead with a warm and grounded presence, lead with intention, always holding space for growth, joy, and real connection.
