Ashley Herrera is a prenatal and postnatal yoga instructor, Spinning Babies® Certified Parent Educator, a Birthing From Within–trained childbirth educator, and a mother of three. She is passionate about walking alongside expecting parents as they prepare for birth. Having experienced three very different pregnancies and labours herself, she understands how important it is to feel both physically prepared and emotionally supported.
All three of Ashley’s pregnancies and births included Spinning Babies® movements. Incorporating the Daily Essentials, Forward-leaning Inversion, Side-lying Release, and Rebozo techniques made a significant difference in her comfort during pregnancy and supported smooth progression in labour. Each birth was empowering in its own way, which inspired her to become the first Spinning Babies® Certified Parent Educator in Alberta and share this work with other families.
In the Spinning Babies® Birth Preparation Class, Ashley guides parents through practical, intentional movements that help balance the body and create space for baby, while offering tools to ease pregnancy discomforts and optimize positioning before and during labour. Her approach weaves together movement, body awareness, and self-trust so parents feel more confident, comfortable, and connected as they approach birth.
Ashley also offers online prenatal yoga programs, making mindful movement and preparation accessible to parents worldwide. She provides in-person classes in Calgary and surrounding area, as well as virtual support globally.
