TESTIMONIALS
The workout is different everyday, which keeps you intrigued and excited for every workout! Not to mention that I am sore after every class! Ashley gets it done!

Ashley’s workouts are so specific to individual. She has a keen awareness to each person’s individual needs, focusing on both their strengths and weaknesses. Ashley strives for bettering overall strength and health. It is truly a full mind and body workout.

If you give Ashley Halley a try your body will thank you and hate you in equal measure. The hating is only because our bodies tend to shy away from what is good for them. The thanking is in using muscles that never get to see any action, even in a yogi ' s body. The thanking is in the feeling of the difference between a functional movement and just completing a motion any way you can. With mindfulness and control, the body can change. With intention and hard work, the body can thrive. Ashley Halley's workouts are catered to your individual needs and abilities; her extensive knowledge on anatomy and body work will have you wondering why you've been doing it wrong all these years. With a few words and a smile she will have you moving more efficiently, more freely; and cultivating movements to keep your body strong and safe for years to come. You will laugh, and sweat, and MOVE. And you won't regret it. HUGS!!

You are a life spirit that was undoubtedly meant to find MY spirit! Had to happen! You are a warrior goddess and living lantern of light on those of us who can see- even when our eyes are shut. Thank you for taking me to a new level of physical strength. I had given up but clearly you never do! May God continue to guide you through this new and active path you’re on.

You have always been my favorite teacher. I left your class feeling powerful and strong, and confident, and always with more clarity, when I left other classes feeling more incompetent and like a failure. Never good enough. So thank you and I hope you know you left a great impact on many people here.

Tribe was a glowing out of this world silent disco experience. A place where you can express yourself freely. We came in not knowing what to expect. It turned out to be an individual expression of body art, music, yoga and dance. In the end the most beautiful part about it was that it brought everyone together as a tribe. Thank you Ashley for an unforgettable experience.

Ashley, you have special gift that allows you to capture the attention of your students as you guide them through a dynamic and “colorful” journey with each class. The joy that you derive from your own practice is evidenced by the exuberance that you share in your approach to teaching and you also demonstrate a willingness to help others achieve this same sense of happiness and dedication in their own practice. You have a syncopated and rhythmic style of speaking that is calming, yet pressing, and this serves to guide others through a fluid and fulfilling practice.

I find that you're a challenging, but nurturing teacher and guide. The metaphor that kept coming back to me today is that your classes are like a marathon in which you are pushed to physical limits, but along the way, there are water and aid stations to help you through. And, there's a guide, a leader, helping you find your strength to work from your heart and make it to the finish line. You help your students find their discomfort and you help them massage it out so they can then find what's deep down beyond that and then we feel bliss. I never know what will bubble up during one of your classes, but I do know that I am incredibly blessed to have you instruct and guide me (us!). You teach from your heart and soul so that we can connect with ourselves and with you.

This morning I really didn't think my body could handle an Ashley Halley class. I texted Ashley to cancel and she told me "Mind over body, get in the car." This is what makes Ash truly exceptional. She wants all of her clients to feel good. Thank you for not only being my fitsporation but also my motivation!!

She collects the people you want to work out with – builds community within a small group of women.

I’m not quite sure where to begin, when it comes to expressing my gratitude for how much Ashley Halley has helped me in the past few months. When I first met with Ashley for a consultation and assessment of my current health, I was in a pretty dark place - physically as well as mentally. I had allowed the stress of life to wear me down - and in Ashley’s words, “it as time to clean house”. We started with the basics, getting a diet plan in place that made sense for me, and continued on the evolution with referrals for wholistic and functional specialist exams and treatments. But the real magic happened once we started our one-on-one sessions 2x week. Ashley is unlike any trainer I have ever worked with in the past, and has a way of analyzing the root cause of the body’s (dys)functions - and then targeting them in her approach and exercises. It’s been just over 3 months now since we started working together, and this is the FIRST TIME IN 5 YEARS that I can honestly say I no longer suffer from lower back pain. Not only can I feel and see the results in my body, but I am in a better place mentally, as well. She isn’t just a physical trainer, but rather a Master of her craft. I don’t know how to explain her to someone new, other than that she is an absolute force to be reckoned with. She got me out of my head, and back to living my life to it’s fullest potential. What do you call that? A Guru? Life Coach? Health and Wellness Badass? I don’t know. But whatever she is, she is the best. And I would recommend anyone seeking to reach a higher mental, physical and spiritual state to reach out to her. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, Ashley. You are the definition of what it means to be the "Salt of the Earth”.

“The answer to “what does Ashley do?” is easier to see than explain. I haven’t been able to put it in to words for people, so I am bypassing my inner critic and posting a visual. I’ve been doing some of the same shit for years, never seeing desired change, never having anyone correctly correct my form or posture. If that sounds like you, you need to see Ashley. If you practice Yoga and know you’re not “doing” things right, or you want to see more advancement in your poses, you need to see Ashley. If you sit at a desk all day, you need to see Ashley. If you’re seeing a chiropractor, you also need to see Ashley. If you care about your body functioning and feeling good for the long term and not just for beach season, you need to see Ashley.
Marrisa
I feel so great! My body is on fire feeling muscles I’ve not felt in years! But my mind is happy! Bella loved today and said she wanted to join me again! She said she loves listening to you talk! I’m in this to win it! oh and first thing she said to Brian on FaceTime was “daddy I did yoga today with ms Ashley”! He says “Ashley who”? I say Ashley Halley and his eyes got huge and said “wow girls she’s no joke I’m proud of you both”! Made me smile! She told Brian “ms Ashley likes princesses just like me”! It was so cute!
Katherine Stone
Perfect class!!! Perfect movement and perfect space for it too! I’m in love! So much better in the calm studio than garage and it segways so well into a yoga finish so you can see how your body engages what it just learned!!!
Jessica D.
I feel mentally strong and great... Physically I'm sore as hell! Lol. It's good to know I'm working muscles and taking them to a different edge. I know when I don't feel it the next day that nothing's changing- just maintaining. Class was super fun! I've always loved workouts that involve a bit of play- so getting to strap in and move around and explore new ways always leaves me feeling satisfied- and inspired. Ill definitely be back! I'd love to take some yoga with you as well- you are just over at yogani on Mondays now- is that correct? Thanks for the follow up and the awesome class,
Brandie
The class motivates me each week and every workout to push harder. The other clients are inspiring, and I truly get a sense of support and encouragement. Of course I cannot forget Ashley, she is really the reason we all come back each week. Her energy, enthusiasm and commitment to each client is rare and remarkable. Let’s get moving!

Hey woman- I had to run out after class but I wanted to say how bad ass practice was for me today- after a super wtf energetic weekend, really appreciate your grounding suggestions and flow. You rock. Besitos!

I’ve been working out with Ashley for a little over a year now. I had previously been at a large gym for over 10 years and was just ready for a change. I loved the idea of being in a small group setting with personalized attention. My first couple of visits to MOVE were humbling yet motivating. Having always worked out, I just assumed I would be able to ”hang” in her classes. But MOVE made me quickly realize how much more I had to learn! Ashley is very particular about proper form. She basically had to rewire my entire thinking on everything from squats to planks. When in a position, the tiniest tweak by her cue can completely change the function of the exercise. She’s beyond knowledgeable about anatomy and functional movement and is constantly educating herself on new things in order to help us. What keeps me coming back is that there’s never a dull moment around here. Ashley is so in tune with our bodies and knows exactly what we need and crave. She pushes us to our limit but in an encouraging way. She’s quick to let us know what we have to work on yet always points out how far we’ve come. There’s nothing more gratifying than realizing you now can master a move that 6 months earlier you couldn’t even remotely perform. The dynamic of the group is, in my opinion, one of the most amazing aspects of MOVE. Everyone is motivating, encouraging and supportive of one another.

I wanted to let you know how beautiful your classes are and how much I enjoy them. You have an awesome gift with sequencing and adjusting!

I came in 2 times to see you but you were on vacation. I have so many spine issues and although YOU hear me shouting out 'LOW BACK PLEASE!!' , I do not allow my hours or days to be owned by my pain. I need to express this pain to YOU however, because for the first time in a decade or more, someone knows how to help me. You may not even have a clue how much you have and do. I have to be able to laugh and you are the only one who can do this. Awesome... Beyond. I mean if I can't laugh... So, my issue is that I signed up and paid for 6 months at Yogani which allows me no possible way to pay for additional classes at other studios for now. I retired so now I have no income. Every class is hard to pay for so I don't want to take from random people when I KNOW I get relief from your work. I need to study/practice with you as much as possible. If I can get 3-4 classes a week, I'm in less pain and therefore healthier, happier, better Mom,wife, lover, potter. How can I follow you 3-4 mornings a week as soon as my Yogani card runs out in 6 weeks? I prefer mornings because if I wait until 5:30pm- my day is all about stiffness and aches. Really long note. Read a part each day. Ha ha You are the best yoga teacher I have ever had. I started in 1973. I feel as if I've never learned until YOU (oh and Erin 5 years ago but I could only take her class 2 Saturdays a month- worked full time then). Thank you for trying and for helping me feel better every single time I take your class. EVERYTIME!
Xoxo,
Kimberli
It was one of the best nights out have have had in a long time. Just a great vibe, everyone was smiling and dancing. I didn't want the night to end.
Sally Dee
Ashley, the medicine you take you give!! Ashley focuses on her wisdom/ studies of kinesiology and asanas and Ayurveda! Overall the body mechanics and postures adjustments are precise. The private session (surprise!😅)?! I planned the private for a gym session.
Jorge Lois
So many great memories! You created an amazingly unique wellness experience that made people feel like family rather than clients. Thank you for opening your home and sharing so much. I am excited to see what the next chapter holds!
Keith Kemp
Ashley Halley you definitely changed my life. You introduced me to my holistic doctor and kinesiologist, who uncovered what was wrong with me when other doctors couldn’t figure it out. And cured me! You introduced me to yoga, which I learned to explore and found that i absolutely need restorative yoga and meditation in my life. And now I am going to go through teacher training to further my personal practice. You did a great job of getting me as motivated as I can get to work out lol! Your spirit was contagious and uplifting. I haven’t seen you in months, but I’m glad that we were brought together because my life is so much better for it. I wish you the best wherever you heart and spirit takes you. I’m excited to follow you through social media to keep up with your travels. Love ya mama!
Whitney Garcia
It’s kinda cool 😎 vibe weirdness that when I started training with you I wanted to break out into new things professionally but was so scared and we talked about it and you saw and felt my worry...then...we both broke free around the same time!!! I love following your journey because I’m on a journey too but I feel like we started together in that garage gym drinking smoothies and telling our unfiltered stories! Your gym was a safe place to feel good, want to improve but most importantly be ourselves with you! You helped us be our true selves even if you weren’t but now you are living your true self! 💞💕💗💓💖 let go and be free 🦋 you deserve it

The Tribe: Glow and Silent Disco Yoga event exceeded every one of my expectations! I showed up anticipating a fun evening shared with friends, and left with a full heart, feeling inspired and impressed with the amount of love and energy that was put into this evening. Thank you Ashley Halley, Sara Lesch, and all the other individuals who contributed their special touch, for creating an experience to open and nourish our minds, bodies, and souls! I cannot wait until the next one!
Kelly Breeding
Thank you Ashley. I will definately get involved! Your classes are always wonderous and challenging. I appreciate what you bring to Tampa and Yogani and my life.
Lee Daly
I also wanted to tell you as I left and throughout my day yesterday I could not help but feel happiness for knowing you and getting your workouts out in, but also the great group of ladies I am also surrounded by each time I am there! The quality of women never ceases to amaze me because I feel like genuine, real women can be hard to find these days! I just felt it important to express my gratitude...
Lauren
I just responded to your post on my wall, but wanted to send you a message in case in sounded strange on a public post. -odds are good- it would sound esoteric to most (and less eloquent- like blowing smoke). I'm not sure what your incarnation is at the moment,and I know we aren't close since we only met at Shiva's retreat in Oia several years ago...however, I among many (gathered from your fb) find you to be a complete inspiration. You are beautiful, you are smart, and you are STRONG. You have an amazing personality that people gravitate to. I know you have had your own battles, but you have come out of hardship full of positive energy and radiating white light (sometimes pink). That said, I'm not giving you this credit simply because you are a Yogini. In my mind it doesn't work that way. Your open heart and open mind have created your journey and I see you embracing life not only without fear but with a passion. You are an old soul (my opinion) but you keep a youthful spirit. The best kind of teacher if you ask me....I hope to cross paths again with you...

What I see in you Ashley, is this active, incessant, faithful construction of dwelling in pursuit of the indefinable. I see you as this marvelous creator of presence in being, and watch with gratitude as you invite others to join. So that is what I am thanking you for: choosing to be, with the fire and faith of one who knows, even though we can never know for sure. Thank you, sincerely. The ritual space you describe - Yes, I understand, and sense that you do indeed live for this. Your offering to us is immense and most precious; your "fearless faith" shines brightly. I envision a time when you find there is not enough room in the studio for these gatherings. Taoists use the term "affinity" to describe the realization of our cosmic interconnectedness; I am grateful to be able to cultivate such a realization with you and the others. It is my wish for everyone, for all of humanity to re-join our lost "tribe". I personally struggle to choose one path or another in pursuit of that wish, but I do keep my eyes and heart open; how nice to look up and see you. It begins I think, as you say, with fearless faith, heart of fire, walking the talk. I am so glad to meet you along this path; I appreciate and draw from your strength, and you can surely count on my support and friendship.
