Ashton August
Yoga Teacher
What brought you to yoga?
I was 19, couldn't come anywhere near touching my toes, and suffered from debilitating anxiety and migraines. It only took a few yoga classes to realize just how impactful the practice was for my mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing, and I have been a dedicated practitioner ever since!
What’s your yoga background and what are you most passionate about teaching?
I was certified back in 2011 and started my teaching journey as a Hot Power Yoga instructor in Scottsdale, AZ. I am certified in and passionate about teaching the Vinyasa, Hot, Yin, Buti, and Hatha formats. In addition to teaching in-person studio classes and local events such as the global yoga dance party Daybreaker, I have also had the immense privilege of reaching millions of students around the world on my own online yoga and wellness platform, YA Classes.
What would your students be surprised to know about you?
I am a two-time published author in the self-motivation genre and just finished writing my third book!
