honoring, Supporting, and empowering the individual and the collective.


Inner Woven is a sacred space for tending to the human experience.  This work is rooted in the teachings and practices of Yoga, Ayurveda, Somatic Care, and Ancestral Wisdom. Our approach has a somatic-spiritual-ecology orientation that nurtures the relationships we have with ourself, one another, the natural world, and the mystery as pathways to healing.

  • CARE

    A compassionate space to learn to how to care for the prickly aspects of being human and deepen the capacity to be with more of you and others.

  • CONNECTION

    Fostering a sense of connection within and around for expanded belonging, support, and clarity.

  • CREATIVTIY

    Nurturing possibility and inspiration through widened agency, choice, and resilience.

ABOUT ASHLYN

Hi, I’m Ashlyn, welcome to this space!  Life has carried me through many experiences, some challenging, others easeful, and a lot of in-between.  I’ve suffered from digestive struggles, hormonal dysregulation, loneliness, anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem at various points in my life and occasionally still do.  My childhood was one of shyness, love, lack, curiosity, and lots of time in nature; my teen years were rebellious and lonely, rooted in a longing to be accepted and forgetting myself in order to do so; my early adulthood was plagued with anxiety, confusion, and fear that underscored digestive discomfort, hormonal imbalance, and intense self-doubt.  It wasn’t until I found alternative ways of being through yoga, ayurveda, spirituality, holistic medicine, somatic intelligence, eco-psychology (basically decolonizing my being) that I began to grow, heal, and transform into wider ways of being.  And this evolutionary journey is still going, in fact, I believe it will be until the day I leave this earthly body.  What I’ve come to realize is that this journey of being human, which involves suffering, is also one of so much inherent belonging, support, and love when we learn how harness our power within and with each other, embracing the full spectrum of being human, and remembering the precious medicine our souls came here to experience and share.  And I would be honored to connect with you and share with you what I have learned from my experiences and the amazing teachers who have blessed my path if you are feeling the call to embrace a wiser, wider, wilder way of being.
