From Ashley: Dance was in my heart from an early age. Like many young girls, I dreamed of being a ballerina. A knee surgery in high school led to a love and admiration for physical therapy. I graduated from the University of Kansas with a degree in Exercise Science in 2000. After working in a physical therapy setting for a few years, Pilates introduced itself to me. It married my love for movement and science so seamlessly. I have taught rehab based Pilates in Lawrence and Topeka for 13 years. In those years I have had the opportunity to study and practice different styles, varying from injury rehab, injury prevention pertaining to dancers, and chronic trauma, as well as for basic well-being and health. Movement cannot be overstated as part of our whole health. It is an honor to help others move through life and discover wellness.
