Our Instructors
Alexandra (Ally) Futrell
Studio Owner • RYT 200
Ally is the founder of Ashore Yoga Studio and a proud mom of three. Life as a busy mom keeps her on her toes, but movement has always been her outlet—starting with ballet as a child and later finding yoga. Ally's love for the yoga practice was deeply rekindled during her postpartum journey after having twins. That experience inspired her to open Ashore Yoga Studio—a space where others can feel supported, empowered, and at home in their bodies. Ally is especially passionate about guiding women through pregnancy, postpartum, and all of life’s transitions.
