Ashley Iverson
Founder | Function of Yoga
Ashley Iverson founded Function of Yoga to advance mental health innovation by integrating ancient yogic principles into evidence-based treatment. Over 15 years, she’s impacted patients across diverse populations — from active-duty military to individuals experiencing homelessness and addiction recovery.
“Creating Function of Yoga has been one of the most meaningful things in my life,” she shares. “What started as a personal passion has helped tens of thousands find real relief and tools they can use anytime, anywhere.”
Ashley has transformed her clinical expertise into a scalable platform through a virtual software solution that hospitals are beginning to adopt. For the first time in inpatient mental health treatment, Ashley’s program offers continuing care post-discharge.
“I see my role as a woman in my industry as undeniable and necessary,” she notes. “The U.S. healthcare system has been shaped by a predominantly male-driven approach, often lacking the essential feminine element of nurture.”
