About Ashley Cottrell
Ash is a bestselling self-published author and yoga teacher. She and her husband Mat wrote The Inner Work together: Mat covers psychology, while Ash covers Eastern teachings. She turned to the spiritual world at 16, when she discovered Hinduism and jivamukti yoga. She became a certified yoga teacher by 21, after a full year of intensive training at the Stress Relief Management Center of Las Vegas. She also studied Eastern philosophy and religion at university, and has practised Kriya Yoga through the Self-Realization Fellowship. At 25 she opened her first studio in Las Vegas with the Modo Hot Yoga franchise, followed soon after by a second, Evolution Yoga. She has taught at yoga and music festivals in the US and abroad, developed her own Inner Work yoga method, and launched an online teacher training program. She also co-founded Spirit Woman, an organization that helps women shape their lives around their natural cycles.
