In today's episode, Ashley sits down with Desirea Penton-Crosley, owner of Dragon Asana in Gunnison, Colorado, to explore a journey shaped by resilience, reinvention, and an unwavering commitment to the practice. From triathlons and teacher training to opening multiple studios, navigating heartbreak, rebuilding after loss, and finding the courage to begin again, Desiree shares the lessons that only years of practice can teach.

Together they talk about lineage, mentorship, community, studio ownership, the realities of teaching yoga, and why perseverance is less about pushing through and more about continuing to show up. This is a conversation about remaining a student, trusting the process of growth, and discovering that yoga isn't something we perfect, it's something that quietly transforms us over time.
