This program is designed for
Yoga Teachers + Studio Owners
You understand yoga is much more than a physical practice. You want to empower students, facilitate breakthrough exercises and bring tangible psychological tools into the yoga room for lasting mental-emotional transformation -- without becoming a therapist.
Psychology Professionals, Nurses + Physicians
You recognize the healing power of yoga, meditation and breathwork and want to incorporate them into your clinical practice without necessarily becoming a yoga teacher or taking a 200 hr. teacher training.
Health + Wellness Coaches
You know your clients need more than just help with calories, nutrition and macronutrients. You want to help them dig deeper, uncover and heal the emotional and psychological issues that may cause health issues and disordered eating in the first place.
Dedicated Students
You are ready for a deep personal journey to finally uproot what is holding you back. You’re intrigued by doing Shadow Work to overcome your unconscious limiting beliefs. You’ve tried talk therapy – but want a multi-dimensional approach that secures lasting change.
Keep reading if you…
- Lack confidence in your yoga teaching or therapy/coaching practice
- Are unsure of how to make your business profitable
- Feel overwhelmed by lack of time or work-life balance
- Struggle to find your unique voice as a teacher or leader

Meet
Ashley
I’m Ashley Turner, and trust me, I’ve been there.
Twenty years ago when I found yoga, I was depressed, had low self-esteem and body image issues. All I knew was that if I could get to a yoga class….I felt better. Somehow, I knew I would be ok.
Yoga was the one thing that relieved my depression and rebuilt my courage and confidence from the inside-out.
Eventually, I realized I had to start teaching and help others find the same relief I had.
Once I began teaching, I saw students having emotional breakthroughs, crying in pigeon pose or experiencing “Ah-Ha Moments” on the mat. I knew yoga was an amazing tool in my personal life and I wanted to find a way to bring the same psychological transformation and spiritual experience to my students.

We don’t need more asana.
We need more transformation.
I felt like I was beginning to make a difference helping people. I was always busy, even traveling around the world teaching yoga, but…I was still living month-to-month with ZERO financial security.
Deep inside, I also lacked the confidence to know I was doing it right.
I had a hard time finding my voice and finding role models for reclaiming the depths of the yoga practice, and integrating yoga and mental health in a fresh, modern way while building a seriously profitable business.
Reading self-help books and attending seminars and conferences are great (I did it all)…but, I knew I was committed to offering accessible, proven, psychological tools that actually help my students.
Having an intensely curious personality, I was obsessed with digging into all the science behind WHY and HOW yoga lifted my depression, restored my self-esteem and cemented such a profound impact on my life.
I returned to school to get my masters in Counseling Psychology, become a Licensed Psychotherapist and Yoga.Psyche.Soul.™ was born.
Today, I use Yoga Psychology to make breakthroughs in my students’ lives and build a thriving business without feeling like an imposter.
Hear from our Students
“Yoga.Psyche.Soul.™ saved my life. Thank you, Ashley!

The

The chakras are an ancient map detailing the complex relationship between the physical body, spiritual realm, endocrine system, human development, emotions, past traumas, the elements and mythology.
This is a rare opportunity to demystify the chakras as a developmental psychology using real-life case studies from a decade of Ashley’s clinical psychotherapy practice. Through a multidimensional lens, we assess each chakra from several angles to fully dissect its impact on your life: physical, mental, emotional, psychological and spiritual.
Complete the Basics of Trauma Informed Yoga – a crucial component in any mind-body therapy.

Teach your students or clients how to master the mind, overcome difficult emotions, work with sensation, the body and pain, deepen their spirituality and identify with their true nature.

Relationships are widely considered the most difficult yoga. As Ram Dass says:
“People think they want a conscious relationship of ‘Living Truth’, but, I assure you….most people don’t. The fire is too hot.”
For many of us, the majority of our suffering comes from relationships: heartbreak, betrayal, abandonment, longing for intimacy, difficulty communicating, disappointments, and unmet expectations.

- CONSCIOUS RELATIONSHIPS: Using relationships as a vehicle for consciousness. Recognizing each relationship as a sacred mirror, reflecting aspects of Self that need to be brought to light and healed.
