Corporate Wellness
Ashleigh, in conjunction with other wellness partners, can tend to all your corporate wellness needs.
Every successful company should be looking for ways to increase productivity, enhance information retention, boost employee morale, lower health care costs and stay ahead of competition. No matter how big your workforce, a single healthy employee working at maximum potential is an invaluable asset. Nutrition, together with stress management and exercise, are undoubtedly the cornerstones of optimum health. Without nutritional sustenance, a person cannot function at full capacity, neither mentally, physically nor emotionally. Appropriate nutrition education can help maintain optimal energy levels, combat stress symptoms, boost the immune system and prevent both infectious diseases and chronic diseases of lifestyle.
Ashleigh’s aim is to establish and implement corporate wellness programs for the workplace that ultimately help increase productivity, decrease absenteeism and enhance the overall well being of the organisational workforce.

Yoga Classes and Teacher Trainings
I took my first yoga class at the age of 21 and knew from that day on that I would be doing yoga for the rest of my life. I have explored many styles of yoga including Iyengar, Ashtanga, Vinyasa Flow and Bikram. I am deeply fascinated by yoga philosophy and incorporate it into my daily life. My style of teaching could be described as creative Vinyasa Flow with an emphasis on challenging sequencing and transitions and special attention to the breathe. I believe a yoga class should be both challenging and relaxing and should not ignore the subtle aspects of yoga and the ultimate point of the practice, which is to find stillness and peace.
Ashleigh is an E-RYT (Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher) and owner of the HFPA Yoga School in South Africa
