Five Peaks Yoga

Tiffany has been practicing yoga since 2003 and teaching since 2008 and has dedicated over 1,000 hours to the study and practice of yoga. She has grounded knowledge in Hatha, Vinyasa, Ashtanga, and Restorative Yoga, along with meditation, pranayama, and philosophy. She is currently enrolled in Tiffany Cruikshank’s Yoga Medicine program, where she is learning to apply therapeutic yoga within her vinyasa practices as well as in private settings. Her passion to learn is an extension of her passion to educate others so that they can find wellness and peace. 

Ashish grew up in India in an environment where the scriptures and the Bhagavad Gita were very much a part of life. He briefly practiced yoga in Elementary school and learned Sanskrit in Middle and High school. He got back to the yoga practice in Jan 2015 when his employer, Nintendo, added power yoga classes to their office gym. He started the practice to get fitter, coming from a sedentary lifestyle, but the practice brought him a reconnection to his roots. The same year he completed his 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training.

After spending 16 years as an engineer in the computer and video game industry, he decided to take a break and teach yoga. The deeper he dove in, with multiple trainings in a year, the more he was convinced this is what he wanted to do. Yoga had changed his approach to life, opening a new pathway to an almost constantly lived joy. He wanted to bring it to others.

He has since been practicing across multiple styles, having practiced in over 50 studios in Seattle. He has taught in over 15. He’s been practicing 10-20 hours a week since early 2016 and teaching 10-20 classes a week. He has advanced trainings with multiple yoga masters - Baron Baptiste, Tiffany Cruikshank and Annie Carpenter being the primary ones. He believes the learning never ends, and he learns so much from his students, not just the teachers.

Ashish teaches with a smile and brings his fun personality to his teaching, just like his own practice. He weaves in yogic philosophy while leading a challenging, but not too serious asana practice. Come in expecting to be challenged wherever you are in your practice, exploring the connection to your body and mind.
