Ashleigh Shepherd
Ashleigh is a lifetime student of the body, breath, and all things wild. She spends her time primarily as a teacher of young children: young wise ones who teach her daily about love, curiosity, how life moves, and the changing waves we are made of.
Ashleigh has been a committed student of conscious movement for the last 8 years and is trained as an Open Floor Movement Teacher. She is also a student of the 5Rhythms through Chloe Goodwin and when she’s not teaching, she is always on the floor deep in practice. She is honored for the chance to find her voice as a newer teacher of somatic inquiry and aims to bring the freshness of a beginner’s mind to each space she guides.
Open Floor is a lively and playful movement inquiry with curiosity at its core. A moving meditation practice. We come together to practice presence, to feel, to experiment, to resource ourselves, to study our relational patterns, and to pay attention to the living body and its insight. To be embodied is to come to our senses, more fully alive, awake, and aware in the world. The Open Floor is a space to practice just that - breath by breath growing our capacity to feel, to inhabit our bodies, and to show up more authentically in our lives and in our relationships.
Social/Cultural Locations:
Ashleigh is a white, able-bodied, cisgendered woman, dis-oriented in gender and sexual binaries. Descendent of Celtic peoples of England, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland. She was born and raised in the Blue Ridge Mountains of southwestern Virginia and currently lives on land colonized by the Spanish, ancestrally and currently home to the Pueblo People.
