Music has the ability to transform. To inspire, awaken, soothe and captivate our humanly senses, to shift and bend perception, to bring us home to ourselves. Heavenly melodies inspire my heart, lyrics speak to my depths, the very essence of frequency helps shift energy; it awakens me.
To rest in the presence of sound is truly powerful. Music allows me to get out of my own way to experience true sweetness. It is my dearest love, greatest pleasure, and deepest healer. It is my teacher, my passion and my truest confidant.

For longer than I can remember I have found some of the purest moments of joy in the surrender of sound. When I let noise flow from my body as an offering in song or tone or as I listen with intention to the notes of others, the space between melody and rhythm, it is all here, this gift. Straight from the dazzling heart centre, made of a million pieces of universal beauty, lies the safe little offering of sound. Commanding my fullest presence I am able to witness my true nature, in this quiet place, where the music is.
This little song bird has been grateful to swim in the sea of sound. Whether I am singing or being bathed in sound, I have felt the power of all that she is. A full energetic immersion in the world of frequency, and the playful movement that has left lasting impressions. I have a decadent memory. I can recall events and tell colourful stories of adventure. But nothing in my memory is sharper than the needle that recorded the history of my musical awakening over the years.

Now, as a yoga teacher, a holder of space, a sharer of things…..I am able to let my inner songbird soar. In a 60 special minutes I spend with other voyagers of the earth, I guide yoga experiences, where students entrust me with their bodies, minds and hearts. It is you with whom I get the pleasure of serenading with sound, with whom I share my passions of music and nourishment as I offer you my voice and often make you uncomfortable finding yours :)
For those of us who dig a little deeper, we are afforded the pain and pleasure to get lost in the experience of ourselves, and guided by the hums of vibration, perhaps, dance ourselves to parts unknown. Whether it is through the practice of making sound with breath, chanting, or listening to the external soundtrack played, it is here, where the opportunity to surrender to sound exists. Music allows us to evoke emotion to heal pain and unlock pieces of ourselves as we come to life in the discovery of our own instruments of sound.
May we thank music for helping us all awaken to our sweetness, if only for a track, if only for a moment, may it move you.
Blessings,
Ashley
