Well, hi there!
We’ve gotten some new followers over here and wanted to drop in and say hi! And re-introduce myself!
I’m Ashley, the owner and crazy magic maker behind this little studio! My husband Andrew and I are high school sweethearts and we’ve got 4 kiddos together! I taught 2nd grade for 13 years until we decided to move our family to the sweetest little hobby farm in Lakeville. We had always wanted to have a farm despite knowing next to nothing about owning farm animals and land, and after some big things happened to our family we decided life wasn’t going to wait for the perfect time to make a change. In 2018, I was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer and went through a bilateral mastectomy, chemo, radiation and a year full of infusions to hopefully prevent the return of any cancer. It was a long year of treatment but together we came out on the other side. Then in 2021, I was pregnant with our youngest and my water broke at 26 weeks and was hospitalized for a month before delivery. Since it was during the pandemic, I wasn’t allowed visitors aside from Andrew. Our little guy arrived at 30 weeks and had a two month NICU stay and his first year was full of lots of appointments and physical therapy and now he’s a wild and rambunctious 4 year old! We made the decision in 2022 to move to a farm and start something special… and that’s how Sunshine Linings was born! I stopped teaching, got my yoga certification and we slowly started finishing a building on the property to turn it into the studio we have today!
A little over a year being open officially and we’ve done countless goat yoga sessions, birthday parties, ladies craft nights, kids crafting sessions, summer camps and field trips! I’m so beyond lucky to be here and just love sharing our spot with others! We love partnering with local businesses and community members and are thrilled with what we’ve built… and I’m confident in saying THIS is only the beginning❤️ Thanks so much for being along on this crazy ride!
