Ashley Eldringhoff-Barber

Teaches at Define Body & Mind

Senior Instructor, Instructor Trainer 

Ashley is a Houston transplant from Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Growing up, she was never a sporty girl, but she liked to dance. During college she picked up belly dance, which she turned into a temporary career, performing in venues throughout Baton Rouge, Lafayette, and New Orleans. Receiving a Level 1 certification from YOGASTEPSTM in 2007 she taught yoga and belly dance at Bayou Shimmy Dance Studio in Baton Rouge, LA, and eventually at Nia Moves and 24hour fitness in Houston, Texas. During this time, Ashley first discovered her passion for teaching movement; she loved talking about movement, watching movement and thinking about how movement is created. In 2008, she received a B.A. in Philosophy after graduating from Louisiana State University Summa Cum Laude. In 2009, she moved to Houston, and in 2010 she received her Group Fitness Instructor Certification from the American Council on Exercise and joined the team at DEFINE. She found her favorite aspects of dance, yoga, heath and wellness all rolled into one phenomenal technique. Her favorite part about being an instructor at DEFINE is inspiring self-awareness in others and helping them to find their own sense of strength, length, and balance in their lives.
