Ashka Zasada Yoga

Ashka ran an afternoon yoga session for our office. Since most of us were complete beginners she really tailored the session to meet out needs and provided lots of support & encouragement throughout the class (as well as challenges when necessary). Just after one session my colleagues and I noticed a significant improvement in our sense of wellbeing - we all felt super calm & relaxed! Ashka is a warm, motivating, and professional yoga teacher that I’d definitely recommend!

Ashka has been my yoga teacher for over 5 years I can credit Ashka with igniting my passion for yoga. Ashka is an intuitive teacher, each lesson is different well thought out and a journey of self discovery and growth. I can not recommend Ashka enough from beginner to advanced yoga. I feel very blessed to practice with her 🙏

I have been practicing yoga for quite some time and Ashka has been teaching me for the last three years. In that time Ashka has helped me develop and enhance my yoga practice. My understanding of my body and breath has really developed and I have learnt to bring a fluidity and awareness to my movements as well as a deeper knowledge to tap into postures. I would highly recommend Ashka as a yoga teacher; she will bring a unique and enriching practice to both beginners and seasoned yogis.

My husband and I have been practising yoga weekly with Ashka for nearly 4 years. Having personally attended a variety of yoga classes, with a broad range of instructors, for more than 15 years, I can highly recommend Ashka's teaching. Unusually, every single class is different - with Ashka always perceptively picking up on her clients' needs, and tailoring each and every practice accordingly. Her knowledge of yoga and of the variety she brings to every class is outstanding. I would highly recommend practising with Ashka.

Ashka is an incredibly talented teacher. She really focuses on your individual needs and tailors her classes to what will benefit you the most. Ashka challenges you in all the right ways without pushing too much, and works with you patiently. She's incredibly passionate, fun, energetic and empathetic. We are definitely in much better shape thanks to Ashka.

Ashka has been teaching me and my husband and two friends yoga for a number of years. It's been so good for my body and compliments our other exercise classes. My husband was sceptical at first. He thought we would spend out time laying down and chanting. He was wrong. Ashka adapts the classes to our bodies and pushes us. She gives us a thorough workout, it's tough sometimes, and yet Ashka is also caring, encouraging and considerate. When I don't do yoga I really feel the difference in my body and we both feel stronger, more flexible and in better shape as a result. Gone are my back and hip problems, now I feel much better and less prone to aches and pains in the old places. I would thoroughly recommend Ashka.

I have taken yoga instruction from Ashka Zasada for over 4 years. Her classes have helped me immeasurably with navigating old musculoskeletal injuries, core weakness and dysfunctional movement patterns. I also feel I was supported in my yoga development with her teaching to train and prepare for a second child as a mature mother. Building strength and focus with Ashka's support has really improved my yoga practise. Ashka is an experienced and responsive teacher of yoga. I would not hesitate to recommend her classes, one to one sessions, and workshops to anyone with an appreciation of the art and transformative influence of yoga. Her practise is strong, solid and ever expanding..

"Ash is open and friendly and has a light-hearted feel to her classes. She is not the 'practice at the front of the room and everyone else should follow' teacher--she is the teacher who explains, very specifically, what the class is to do and demos only as needed (e.g. for newer students or complicated poses). She is all over the room doing hands-on adjustments and her savasana massages are divine. Sequencing is clearly planned for best practice, and students are often challenged (but never forced) to try new or more complicated poses. Spiritually founded classes that are not too heavy on the spiritual stuff but remind the student that it's there--as it should be--check her out."
