Testimonials for Śri & Ashley

  • "I so appreciate the beautiful workshop you offered. A welcoming energy and a good heartedness permeated the space creating a container to receive the teachings with joy and ease. Your skillful guidance and generosity of spirit nourished my soul."

    ~J.G. (Yoga and Mindfulness for the New Year Mini-Retreat w/Ashley Flowers Participant)

  • “Diving into the depths of this immense ocean of ancient text and language is exciting and engaging. It is the connection between the feel of yoga, the sound of yoga, and bringing yoga to life inside of one’s self. Sri ties in the archetypal energies and the mantras we use to invite these energies to come alive inside of us, a way to FEEL the sacred vibrations and sounds within. ”

    ~Bridgett Wooten

  • "I enjoyed your class so much and got so much out of it...I signed up for your class to close out a tough year, be in nature, find my balance and heart again in yoga, and move forward. I got that and so much more! Your energy and brightness is amazing. You are a gift."
