Today we’d like to introduce you to Asha Williams.
Hi Asha, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
I’ve always looked towards holistic and spiritual practices since before I really knew any background. As a girl, I would look up yoga positions on Google and ask my mom to take me to Crystal stores. I learned what manifestation was after watching The Secret and learned I’d already been practicing the law of attraction. I began chasing knowledge about wellness and spirituality and found myself in Thailand visiting Tempals to meditate with Monks and in India learning Yoga in the Himalayan Mountains. I felt God guiding my path to be who he placed me on our Earth to be. Fast forward to being back home in Atlanta, and sharing what I learned has become my passion.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Being “spiritual” forces you to face the dark parts inside yourself and it gets really uncomfortable. Life is always evolving and you have to evolve with it and that requires consistent growth. One day you may feel healed from something in your past and the next day a new emotional hurdle can appear. I like to lean into gratitude and remind myself each challenge is a challenge to upgrade. When you can face yourself honestly you create room for so much growth! But it’s not easy.
Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about Natural Gems?
Natural Gems was created to share tips and practical ways to reach alignment in your life through mental and physical practices with a focus on our ability to manifest. I currently host New Moon and Full Moon yoga classes in Little Five Points at The Pink Zebra. These classes are the embodiment of our purpose. Students practice yoga and set intentions using the energy of the moon aligning the physical body with their mental state. I’m very proud of how these classes have not only grown but really impacted people’s lives. It’s so touching to see students have breakthroughs that lead to tears during our sessions.
I also work as a Manifestation Coach. I focus on helping clients set BIG goals for their future, take accountability for current habits that are holding them back, and help create practical mental strategies to guarantee each client reaches their goals.
I’m also super excited about my new website simplynaturalgems.com where clients can book 1 on 1 Manifestation Coaching Sessions, Yoga and Meditation Sessions.
Any advice for finding a mentor or networking in general?
Consistency is the key to everything! If you show up ten times and you feel like no one is feeling you, still show up that 11th time because you never know what the universe has in store for you.
If I stopped teaching yoga because no one showed up (which has happened multiple times) I wouldn’t have reached the point where students had to be turned away because the class was too full.
God/ The Universe will always deliver what you pray for. It may not be when you anticipate but if you continue to show up for yourself, it’s inevitable.
