Ashley Cottrell

Ash, a best-selling self-published author, is best known as one-half of "The Yoga Couple" with her husband Mat. Together, they co-authored the transformative bestseller "The Inner Work". While Mat delves into the intricacies of the human psyche, Ash channels the timeless essence of Eastern teachings. Their combined insights offer a harmonious blend of yoga's ancient wisdom with the accessible language of psychology, making the profound subject of enlightenment relatable to the contemporary soul. From a young age, faced with the challenges of her parents substance abuse addictions and the dysfunction that brought into her family dynamic, Ash sought solace and understanding in the spiritual realm. At 16, an introduction to Hinduism and jivamukti yoga began to shape her perspective, leading her on a dedicated path of self-discovery and healing.
