Join Silky Ashe Wellness for an introductory aerial yoga workshop!
✨3 - 4.30pm Saturday October 10✨
Learn the foundations of aerial yoga in a joyful and relaxing way!
Head to my bio for bookings!

Silky offers aerial yoga classes that invite students to become more present, reconnect with their bodies, and move mindfully, whether through a dynamic flow sequence or a deeply supported restorative practice. She encourages choice, rest, and self-paced movement, creating a welcoming environment where students can explore what feels right for their bodies.

With a background in Health and Physical Education and training in both yoga and aerial yoga, Silky brings a strong focus on alignment, intelligent sequencing, and accessible movement. As a neurodivergent person living with chronic illness, her teaching is informed by lived experience and a deep respect for the body’s changing needs. She was drawn to aerial yoga for the fluidity and freedom of movement the hammock provides, as well as the soothing, meditative experience of being cocooned.

Drawing on a wide range of philosophical, spiritual, and therapeutic influences, Silky weaves together grounding breathwork, mindful movement, and intentional rest to support nervous system regulation and emotional wellbeing. She warmly welcomes students of all experience levels, encouraging them to move with curiosity, compassion, and care.

‘I was able to both hear my body (not disassociate) and then listen to my body and hear what it needed, and that was go slower, do the easier options. And yes, I felt so good afterward, like I had given my body a big hug and a deep breath. Also, the hammock itself, being in the cocoon, helped to soothe my overstimulated and rattled nervous system from the day.’

Thank you Wendy Jasper for your wonderful contribution to my book Eight Limbs of Aerial Yoga: Adapting Practice for Accessibility, Neurodiversity and Physical Support!!

Wendy is autistic and has ADHD and has been to many yoga and exercise classes where she felt uncomfortably singled out as ‘the bigger woman’ as she shared in my book. I really appreciated her sharing these personal experiences and insights, and how the aerial hammock helped her work with her mind and body in a nurturing way.

‘For the first time in nearly 30 years, I felt like an equal when going through the [aerial yoga] practice in class. My body size or fitness level was irrelevant. That alone was so amazing to experience and embody... Exercise for me had become something like self-flagellation, something that was truly unpleasant and uncomfortable to do (and in environments which felt unsafe and overstimulating), but to be a good person and take care of myself meant I simply had to grin and bear and push through ‘for the results’. No wonder I was disassociating all the time (I didn’t realize at the time that was what I was doing; only looking back, I can now see it, and see it was the only way my nervous system could cope with the intensity of it all).‘

Wendy demonstrated many of the restorative postures within my book and she bought such calm and serene energy on the day and really embodied the nurturing restorative vibe. All of these photos are by Danielle Raphael This Wild Soul Photography - it was a lovely experience collaborating with them both!

My book Eight Limbs of Aerial Yoga is published by Singing Dragon - head to the link in my bio for more information.

Or if you’re local to Naarm Melbourne I’m having a launch event at my studio this Saturday 3-5pm!

Does anyone else have to take multiple breaks during every workout to take photos of their plants and cats?
🪴 This isn’t a problem for me in yoga or aerial yoga but since I take little breaks between sets in strength work anyway I get distracted so easily 🤣

Thank you to Kelly Sound Bath | Sound Healing | Reiki | Wellness Studio Melbourne and everyone who joined our Floating Sound Session today 💕
I loved sharing the space and the sounds with you all!

We had a few people who were new to aerial yoga today and it’s such a pleasure to introduce people to this practice in such an immersive and gentle way.
I loved how these two quite different practices of sound meditation and aerial yoga can work together so and enhance each other so beautifully.

Our next workshop will be on Sunday October 25 3-4.30pm and that will be the last one for the year. Head to my bio for bookings and more information.
Sending you peaceful vibes for a relaxing weekend xo

My heart goes out to the people of Nepal and Tibet after seeing the news of the flash floods and earthquakes.
We look to these cultures for practices that help us attain peace of mind, and they contribute so little to global climate change yet feel the effects so harshly.

I am donating a portion of the proceeds from the upcoming Floating Sound Session to the Nepalese PM disaster relief fund, and I’ll share that link (along with some other recommendations organizations) in my stories if you feel inspired to do the same.

Kelly Sound Bath | Sound Healing | Reiki | Wellness Studio Melbourne sources many of her instruments directly from a family run business in Nepal and visits regularly on her retreats. Her local friends are based in Kathmandu out of the danger zone, and we looked to them for recommendations on where to best make a donation.

This has been such a sad week, sending 💗 to you all.

Thank you Audrey Ng A u d r e y L N g for your wonderful contribution to my book Eight Limbs of Aerial Yoga: Adapting Practice for Accessibility, Neurodiversity and Physical Support!

Audrey is the director and principal Physiotherapist at Performance Pilates®️ & Physio - but she’s also a Polestar Pilates Principal Educator, Yin, Vinyasa, Mediation and Antigravity Aerial Yoga instructor!!

I loved Audrey’s unit in my Creative Body Flow Aerial Yoga Therapeutics Teacher Training training, where she explained her graded and systematic approach to using the aerial hammock in a rehabilitation focused Pilates setting.

There are a lot of claims made about the benefits of aerial yoga, and it was really important to me to back up my own opinions with an evidence base and Audrey generously shared relevant published research papers, as well as her own personal and teaching experience and helped me interpret the information when I had questions. This was especially helpful in the chapters on inversion benefits and cautions, chronic pain and hyper mobility.

I’ve already got great feedback from readers, especially on the hyper mobility chapter - and I really appreciate Audrey’s help in providing a scientific foundation to what I had already observed in my classes and my own practice.

Audrey is based in Leederville Western Australia and I would highly recommend training with her if you ever get the chance!!
