Ashli Katz

Ashli Katz is a visionary fitness professional revolutionizing the Miami wellness scene with her transformative approach to movement and self-discovery. Ashli is a trained dancer, a registered Yoga therapist, and a breathwork facilitator.  She created her signature class, Creative Movement Method, which combines her love of dance, yoga, music, and breath to give life to true embodiment and connection to oneself. Her charisma, creativity, and contagious energy are an inspiration to spark life in others.  It's also very likely why you’ll hardly ever find a single empty spot in any of her classes.

Growing up as a dancer and gymnast, music and movement have been an integral part of Ashli’s soul for as long as she could remember. A Florida native, Ashli studied exercise science at Florida State University, where she realized her true calling was helping others achieve their health and fitness goals.  Ashli embarked on her training career with Flywheel when they opened their first Florida location in Boca in 2010.  She later helped open their next studio, in Miami in 2012, where she taught for the next couple of years. 

While truly enjoying the experience of being a part of a rapidly growing company, Ashli missed the more creative and intuitive aspects of helping her clients reach their goals.  She decided to pursue her yoga certification through a mentorship program and, in that process, found herself stuck in overthinking the sequencing and movement. She started putting together 20-minute playlists to dance herself free of her mind. At around the same time, a girlfriend had asked Ashli to teach a class for her birthday and that was the first opportunity for Ashli to meld together her passion for yoga, music, dance, and breath. 

Opportunities to teach with other studios kept arising but the message from the universe for Ashli to create her own method kept growing stronger. She continued to cultivate her approach and launched the Creative Dance Method at Modo Yoga in November 2017 where it quickly gained a cult following.  The exhilarating release and connection you feel from just one class will have you enlisting as well. Ashli, her classes, and her energy are simply addicting.
