Taking Yoga Beyond the Mat with Ashely Campise

Welcome back to The Yoga Connection Podcast with Jamie and Bobbi! This week, we're thrilled to be joined by the incredible Ashley Campise, a dedicated yoga teacher and practitioner whose passion for the practice is truly inspiring. Ashley has been teaching since 2016, studying with renowned teachers, and leading classes, workshops and teacher trainings. Beyond the studio, she's an avid traveler, outdoor enthusiast, and founder of the Midwest Women's Adventure Club, a community dedicated to inclusivity in outdoor exploration. But first, in Mat Chats, we're catching up on life: Jamie is dealing with the ongoing saga of her stuck attic ladder (because adulting never ends), Bobbi reflects on the excitement of working with a brand manager and having more resources for a startup, and Ashley is simply enjoying the beautiful weather. In today's episode, we dive into: • Ashley's yoga journey • The difference between Hatha yoga as an umbrella term vs. a specific style • Why maintaining a personal practice is essential for yoga teachers • Ashley's upcoming projects and where you can practice with her Other highlights in this episode: • Pose Wars: Eagle Pose vs. Tree Pose—Tree Pose takes the win! • Wellness Wins: Jamie's foot scrub, Bobbi's back-to-back blowouts, and Ashley's commitment to drinking more water • Weekly Intentions: Jamie is focusing on releasing what she can't control, Bobbi is trusting the process even when feeling stuck, and Ashley is practicing acceptance—being with what is, rather than trying to mold it into something else This episode is full of wisdom, inspiration, and practical ways to take your yoga practice beyond the mat. Tune in and get ready to deepen your connection to yoga both on and off the mat! Follow Ashley on IG @ashleysimonisyoga
