Ashley Allard

Ashley (ERYT), was a dancer from childhood to late teen. Dance was her entire world but when she left for college she decided to put dance aside to focus on her education. In doing so, she never really found anything to replace the love she had for that type of movement & release. Until she found yoga.

Ashley began practicing yoga in 2017 as a part of a new fitness program to actively recover from weight training & cardio. From the moment she first stepped on her mat, she was in love. Everything from the movement, creativity & physical challenge was exactly what she felt she had been missing since she hung up her ballet shoes.
Yoga has not only helped her with muscle recovery & overall physical strength but has also helped her work past emotional trauma and blockages in her life that prevented her from being the expansive human she always knew she was meant to be.

Ashley completed her 200 hour Teacher Training here at Hot Power Yoga Center in 2020 and recently completed her certification as a Breath and Meditation leader.

Ashley’s passion is using these practices to create embodied change, love and growth from within. And nothing lights her up more than leading a class through and to that transformative feeling. In her classes expect to be challenged and moved in the most unique and supported way.



Ashley Allard instructs the following:
  • "Aromaflow" Hot Power Vinyasa with Aromatherapy
    • This class was developed and created by Kristin Caforio-Marengo. She merged her two loves of oils and yoga and created this class. In this all levels heated vinyasa flow class, we diffuse 100% pure therapeutic grade essential oils throughout the practice.  The oils will change every class, to support the theme and message of the class.
     
    Essential Oil aromas stimulate the part of the brain that affects emotion.  The shape of an essential oil molecule is like a key that opens lock-like structure in the olfactory nerve receptors in our nostrils.  The impression of the aroma is sent directly and immediately to the limbic system where memories are stored and pleasure and emotions are perceived.  When stimulated, the limbic system releases chemicals that affect the central nervous system.  Serotonin counteracts anxiety, and endorphins reduce pain.

  • Hot Power Vinyasa All Levels

    • The word Vinyasa means “linking breath to movement.” Our Vinyasa yoga classes are creative and teachers take students on a journey where the poses are found through breath. Vinyasa yoga is sometimes referred to as flow yoga since students flow from pose to pose in this style of class. In this vigorous flow students will be led through Sun Salutations, side bends, heart openers, backbends, hip openers, inversions, arm balances, standing poses, forward folds, core, twists and a floor sequence. Our classes are the perfect blend of all ways of stretching including a heavy focus on biomechanics and strength. We incorporate active and passive stretching, resistance variations of stretching, and use of props to add load or to modify.  These classes are for all levels. We offer a ton of modifications for all levels, so that each student can find the right variation of the pose that suits their unique needs.
