About this experience partner:

Ashley McGee is a Yoga Instructor, Ceremonialist, and Retreat Leader. Her training is through premier studio, Yoga Shanti where she began studying with world-renowned teachers, Rodney Yee and Colleen Saidman Yee.

Ashley resides in Montauk, New York where she teaches private yoga and various yoga classes around the Hamptons. In the Winter, Ashley hosts yoga retreats in Costa Rica and Puerto Rico.

Named one of PURIST magazine’s A-team coaches and recognized for creating encompassing sensory experiences by EAST magazine, Ashley has also been featured in Hamptons Magazine, WHALEBONE, imagista, KDHamptons, Hamptons Social, Dan’s Papers, and James Lane Post. Students and clients describe Ashley as a ray of light, her sessions as a transcendent experience, and her hands as safe, strong, intuitive and gentle.

Ashley is inspired by anatomical alignment and inquiry of the subtle. She creates an environment where participants have the time and space to feel the internal essence of the poses and to tune the body like a musical instrument. Her yoga classes integrate an Iyengar-based approach, vinyasa flow, meditation, unique (sometimes live) music, and (in some classes) mantra chanting with her harmonium (and other Indian instruments). Ashley’s teaching style is known for being challenging yet serene, calm yet with invigorating precision. She values yoga as a science and linking of the physical, mental, moral, and spiritual well-being of humans.

Ashley curates special events where she collaborates with Sound Healers, Musicians, Artists, Florists, Botanical Designers, Astrology Readers, Reiki Masters, and Filmmakers who compliment her offerings. Her background is largely rooted in creating artful, unexpected experiences where there is a shift from when the participant enters and exits.
