Community Highlights: Meet Ashley Cummings of Ashley Cummings Yoga

Today we’d like to introduce you to Ashley Cummings.

Hi Ashley, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
Our stories are ever changing and evolving- I believe we all have such complicated “stories “, and I love the quote “be kind, everyone is fighting a battle that you know nothing about”. That being said, my entrepreneurial “story” started when I was 11 years old, I established my first business, “Georgetown Dog Walkers”, in D.C where I grew up. I followed my passion, which was animals and especially dogs. When I was in high school I worked at book stores, I loved reading. When I got to college I coached gymnastics, a sport I had been involved with since I was 3 years old, as well I minored in Modern Dance at University of Miami. Then in 2020 I found YOGA, again I followed my passion, I got certified to teach, opened two Yoga Schools – I followed my heart, always, and it never led me in the wrong direction. Follow your heart!

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
I don’t think any road worth traversing is “smooth”, almost nothing was smooth! Both of my parents passed away in tragic ways, life is always “in session”, which is why I think it’s very important for us to remember what we can and can not control. We can never control external circumstances, only internal- so best we get/ be so strong inside.

We’ve been impressed with Ashley Cummings Yoga, but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share with them about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
I have been teaching yoga for over 18 years, I have successfully opened and operated two studios on each side of the country; Just Breathe Yoga (Miami Beach), and Agni Yoga (West Hollywood), Respectively. Currently I hold private classes and online classes as well as my Yoga Teacher Training Certification Program that can be taken in the Los Angeles area and/or online. 310.999.3610

Before we go, is there anything else you can share with us?
I wish to invite you all to understand that you can do or be anything in this life. You can also change you mind about anything at anytime. Follow your heart and your gut, listen to yourself, trust.
