About Me
Hi! My name is Ashlee. I am an artist, yogi and transplant to Huntsville, AL. I am pretty sure that I am an extroverted introvert, or something like that! But this isn't really about me....it is about you. You will find enjoyment and relaxation in any of my unique events and classes. Art and yoga are amazing tools for life and I am happy to share them with others. When I teach art or yoga, I truly focus on making it fun and enjoyable for everyone. It is my goal to help relieve your stress and put a smile on your face. I always offer positivity, encouragement, structure, and patience in my classes and events. Being able to help ease other’s tension is both fun and rewarding.
Location
Everything is mobile! Yes, even the Salt Therapy! I do not have a brick & mortar art or yoga studio here in Huntsville. Ok sure, I have a sweet setup in my house. If you are a friend or neighbor, and want to use a booth, or have a private yoga session, just ask. Paint with me at local bars, restaurants, and breweries in the Huntsville / Madison area. And lastly Kitten yoga at the best and only cat lounge in Huntsville!

Paint & Sip
Premium Paint Parties: This is not your grandma's paint class! This is a drinking and painting event at it's finest. The focus is on the fun and socializing. The beautiful masterpiece created during the fun-filled event is just a bonus! Events are filled with awesomeness and a great mix of songs.
My Paint & Sip Experience: I am honored an humbled to have started my Paint & Sip journey back in 2013 with Paint Nite, aka Yaymaker, aka "The Original Paint Party." This started in Boston, MA which is where I grew up and received my BA in Art. I then owned and operated my own branch outside of Los Angeles, CA until the Covid pandemic of 2020.
Halotherapy
Halotherapy (Dry Salt Therapy) relieves allergies, asthma, eczema, stress, anxiety, and fatigue. It also helps strengthen the lungs in the recovery of Covid 19. It enhances immunity, and athletic endurance. During a 20 minute session, sodium-chloride is ground into micro-particles and inhaled. It takes place in a booth rather than a Salt Cave or Salt Room. Session times are shorter, private, and the salt in the air is more concentrated. This treatment is very soothing, natural, and safe.
My Halotherapy Experience: I discovered later in life that I have asthma, when I had a bad case of bronchitis. In the search to relieve my allergies and asthma, I discovered Halotherapy.
Yoga
Yoga is for everyone! Yoga is a posture based physical fitness that is great technique for stress relief, health and relaxation. Practicing yoga uses breath control, simple meditation, and sets of poses. It is a wonderful way to be more aware of, and balance out one's state of mind, body, and emotions. Restorative Yoga is more relaxing, and slower paced. Restorative yoga helps align the body and mind with gentle movements and holding positions. It opens the body through passive stretching using props, and calms the mind. It is great for beginners, seniors, and busy moms. This is also the type of yoga practiced during a Kitten Yoga session!
My Yoga Experience: I have been practicing yoga since 2010. I started taking yoga classes when I lived in California as a way to exercise and relieve stress. Later while living in Florida, I became certified, and opened up my own studio. I love to practice Vinyasa Yoga, but truly loves teaching Restorative Yoga. I enjoy helping others find comfort, peace, and relaxation through Restorative Yoga. As we all move through life, and get older, it is harder to find time for ourselves. Life can be stressful, and we should all take a little time to care for our mind and body. My classes usually include awesome music, a little bit of lavender aromatherapy, and a dash of humor. I try to offer different and fun local events in Huntsville like Kitten Yoga, and Beer Yoga. I am 200 RYT certified with training in vinyasa, aerial, restorative, and aerial-restorative. ---> Yes they can be combined too!
