I’m Ashley Ludman, and I’m the founder of The Body of Breath—a space for breathwork, somatics, and embodied practice. Together with a growing network of facilitators, we support people in reconnecting to their body and regulating their nervous system in a way that’s grounded and sustainable.

Meet Ashley
If you’re someone who wants to feel more at home in your body and less reactive in your day-to-day life, you’re in the right place.
We work with individuals, practitioners, and facilitators to help them regulate their nervous system, reconnect to their body, and build real capacity through breath and somatic practice - including those exploring breathwork certification or a future in breathwork teacher training.

Why Choose Us
The work may feel simple on the surface, but creates deeper, lasting shifts than more intense or performative approaches
Supports both beginners and those pursuing a breathwork certification, helping clients build trust with their body instead of overriding it
Focused on building capacity, not chasing emotional release — your body changes through what it can safely integrate, not just what it can access in the moment

"My breathwork mentor has been the kind of mentor and teacher I’ve always wanted but didn’t think existed. The kind I always imagined a real mentor was: someone that you really work alongside like an apprenticeship. Someone that knows you well and where your challenge areas are from the close contact and oversight that they have of you. Someone that cares about you and your growth. Someone that supports you when you need to be nudged or met where you’re at. Someone that really shows you the ropes in a way that you can’t get from a text book or lecture. You know, how mentorship’s and apprenticeships must have looked like in the old days and in tribes 🙂."

"In my search for eternal truth, she was the first to hold me with quiet power. In every session, her hands feel woven from threads of another dimension — light like breath, steady like earth. There is no fear in journeying through the breath with Ashley, because her presence invokes a deep-rooted safety, the kind that cannot be taught — only embodied."

"My relationship to myself has shifted through my work with Ashley and that in turn has shifted other relationships in my life. I see things through a different lens. I'm able to not be so reactionary and if I am, I can sit and observe myself later. I've been able to access more forgiveness for myself and for others in that process. It's helped me move stagnant and unserving energy in my body that I might not have found the tools to deal with otherwise. The work gave me the tools to access these points, realizations, emotions, physical forms that I have built up externally and emotional walls that I have built internally that were keeping me from my highest potential. She taught me to teach myself through movement, breath, silence, reflection, slowing down......It's been life changing."
