She now holds a B.A. in Dance from San Diego State University where she studied Kinesiology, Anatomy, Pilates, and Pedagogy, among the various disciplines of dance. While teaching youth, collegiate, and adult dance classes over the last 12 years, Ashley also dances professionally for LITVAKdance, a contemporary-modern dance company that performs locally and nationally. She is a Barre Above certified instructor and has been teaching Barre, HIIT, and Pilates classes in north county San Diego for the last 8 years. Ashley earned her M.A. in Corporate Communications from the University of San Francisco in 2022 and is now assisting MBDY with internal/external communications and community outreach.

In her classes, she religiously integrates the importance of proper form, breathing coordination, modifications to accommodate injuries, and drive to reach one’s potential. Ashley believes that everyone’s fitness journey and lifestyle run at a varying pace. Having the energy of a studio class environment and the support of an inspiring instructor can help anyone push past their edge to access new internal power.
