Hi, I’m Ashley Vasas (she/her), a yoga teacher and the founder of Nourish & Grow Yoga in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

I help people develop a yoga practice that supports their body, their goals, and their life. My teaching emphasizes accessibility, self-compassion, and sustainable movement, with room for both building strength and finding rest.

My own yoga journey began in 2013 after a car accident left me with chronic pain and my corporate career left me feeling burned out. What started as a gentle, low-impact practice became a way to rebuild strength, restore mobility, and feel more at ease in my body. That experience continues to shape how I teach.

I offer live online classes, an on-demand video library, private yoga, and workshops. In private yoga, we start with your goals, explore how you move, and develop a practice together that fits your needs.

For yoga teachers, I offer continuing education in anatomy, functional movement, self-myofascial release, breathwork, and energetic anatomy. My approach connects learning with experience, giving teachers practical ways to apply what they discover to their classes.

I hold E-RYT 200, RYT 500, and YACEP credentials and am a certified Yoga Tune Up® teacher. My studies include Vinyasa, Hatha, Yin, Prenatal Yoga, breathwork, Yoga Nidra, and meditation.

Whether you’re beginning a yoga practice or expanding your skills as a teacher, I want you to leave with greater understanding, useful tools, and confidence to keep exploring.
