Help send Ashley to teacher training
Donation protected
Hello, hi and welcome. Thank you for taking the time to click on this fundraiser.
My name is Ashley Danford, and I’m a yoga teacher in Nashville, Tennessee. I’m currently raising funds so I can complete my 300 Hour Yoga Teacher Training in October with my teacher, Jonny Kest. Completing this training will allow me to refine my teaching skills so I can better hold space for my community as well as provide the necessary training so I can one day hold my own teacher trainings and help others share the gifts that this beautiful practice provides.
A little about me, I’ve been practicing yoga since 2008 and I’ve been teaching since 2012. Though I have fought this realization for quite some time, I do believe my purpose in life is to hold space and guide people through the teachings of yoga and help foster healing and connection throughout my community. I believe yoga should be a celebration of the present moment, an opportunity to meet sensations, feelings and experiences head on and explore our own human nature through a moving meditation. It’s not about what it looks like, its about what it feels like and who you are when you get there.
Asking for help has always been a very hard thing for me to do. I’ve just never wanted to be an imposition to someone. But with the events of 2020, and no steady work since March, I have to ask for help to move into this next chapter of my life and career. However, I know this year has been heavy for everyone, so even you just considering giving any amount of a contribution means the world.
Even so, I’ve never been one to ask for something without having something to offer in return. As such, for your help in allowing me to pursue the next evolution of my career and teaching, I would love to offer the following gifts to show my appreciation for your contribution.
For those who contribute, I would love to offer these gifts.
First, everyone who gives any amount of money will be invited to a special online yoga class via Zoom at the completion of my teacher training so I can share a little bit of what I learned. A class made possible by you, and delivered with love and gratitude for you.
$5-25 : I will send along a fun playlist that encapsulates just what this training means to me. I think it’ll be a fun one. ;)
$26-45 : A one year subscription to my SubStack newsletter which is filled with yoga sequences, playlists, musings and the occasional astrology update.
$50-100 : A personalized tarot and spirit guide reading. I will set space, focus on your energy, and record the reading and send it to you.
$100+ : I would love to offer a private yoga class for you. For each $100 given, add another private class.
Those feeling extra generous and give $1,000+ I would love to offer 1 year of private yoga classes where we meet twice a month (This is a 2400 value).
Thank you for taking the time to read through this. And if you give, thank you so incredibly much for your contribution. I cannot convey just how much it is appreciated.
with love and light,
Ashley Danford
