Miki Ash “is an artist by nature and a yoga teacher by trade.” She began her career at the age of 18 and never looked back. In 2020, Miki launched her own wellness app, The How. This app offers access to a library of her tried-and-tested practices to facilitate your own healing transformation.

“Life, pre-yoga, was so different from when I found it,” recalls Miki. “It was definitely a clumsy and accidental beginning.” She admits to being the last person one would consider an athlete. From late, alcohol-filled nights to bouts of depression to a bad relationship, the Miki of yesterday had a long path of healing and growth ahead of her. 

She was encouraged by her friend's mom to take her first yoga class. The experience was, simply put, “miserable”. And yet, she felt better coming out then going in. Miki kept it up, and before she knew it, she was hooked to the point where she knew she had to become a teacher herself.

“I was just going to get a workout and I left falling in love with myself. I want everyone to experience that. 

Miki shares the most powerful mindfulness practices she recommends to anyone, including: 

●      the fundamental philosophy and principles of yoga

●      what gratitude means to her and how she practices it

●      meditation practices for beginners

●      her intense and incredibly cathartic eye-gazing meditation session

●      why Miki introduced breathwork into her classes

●      her morning ritual

In addition to the mindfulness practices we discussed today, Miki believes that, bottom line, it’d do us all some good to stop being so hard on ourselves.

Making a change starts and ends with a commitment to being kinder to ourselves, a great deal of discipline, and always trusting our inner guidance.
