Ashley Chavez brings warmth, wisdom, and deep expertise to Camp Vortex Retreats as our resident chef, yoga instructor, and Ayurvedic nutrition educator. Trained in classical ayurveda, she creates nutrient-dense meals that are balanced with the seasons and aligned with the body’s natural rhythms. Her family-style dishes are rustic, flavorful, and intentionally nourishing—crafted not only to satisfy, but to support healing, grounding, and renewal.
As a certified yoga instructor, Ashley offers gentle yet powerful sessions that encourage guests to reconnect with their bodies, release tension, and settle into inner calm. Her approach is nurturing, accessible, and intuitive, making space for both physical opening and quiet self-discovery. She also believes that shared meals and mindful movement are meaningful expressions of connection, bringing community, presence, and vitality into every retreat experience.
At Mystic Sky Desert Ranch, Ashley brings care, intention, and joy to each day, inviting guests to experience wellness from the inside out. We are honored to have her as part of the Camp Vortex family, where her food, teaching, and radiant presence help every guest feel more aligned and whole.
