Pure Toms River
Yoga Retreat

Ashley, E-RYT 200 and Owner of Pure Toms River Yoga, has immersed herself in the journey of self-exploration through Yoga. When she first stepped onto a mat and noticed the immediate release of tension in her physical body. As she continued taking classes, she noticed how much more relaxed her mind was and how to manage stress better. This realization sparked her to continue to learn about the philosophy of yoga. Through her passion for the practice, she decided to commit to sharing what she has learned in hopes that her students learn to live their lives to the fullest. Ashley’s classes challenge students to step out of their comfort zone and to have breakthroughs for the mind, body, and soul. Ashley continues to engage in training and develop herself to provide a different experience in classes and provide yoga to everyone. Community and Supporting Local is important to Ashley and through her studio she provides a way to give back through donation classes for different non-profit organizations, offering free veterans classes, and offering volunteer her time to teach for local organizations.

Ryan found yoga during a time where he was immersed in finding the most functional way to create movement patterns using the mind and body. Discovering the freedoms of yoga took Ryan to a place unimaginable where he found a deeper connection to the soul and spirit of a variety of yogic traditions.  Eventually, leading him into vast new rituals of expansion through the connection of breath and movement.  Using his background of mathematics and movement culture and bringing them to yoga, taking anatomy of the body and meditation to explore levels of consciousness to cross onto a physical plane in which to open and align the body and spirit.  Ryan’s teaching style incorporates his asana obsession, meditation, and life experiences, and molds that with the knowledge of Summer Quashie, Jerry Saluti, and Yulady Saluti under whom he did his 200-hour RYT to create a platform for all to come to open and align. Since 200-hour RYT he continues to immerse himself in training and also received his Massage Therapist license. Founder of Kinnect Up Ryan works on Dynamic Bodywork to bring your body into balance. Ryan will be your Massage Therapist for the weekend.
