“Through my yoga practice, I’ve learned how to cultivate balance in my life off the mat.”
Angela, a 500-hour Yoga Alliance certified teacher, took her first yoga class in 2011. Angela reflects: “I initially approached yoga as a form of exercise, but I gained so much more than flexibility and strength. I gained confidence, and became comfortable in my body. The focus on breath and movement led me to develop inner awareness, and a sense of clarity and peace. Through my yoga practice, I’ve learned how to cultivate balance in my life off the mat.”
Angela’s teaching is grounded in her belief that knowledge of the physical body leads to a deeper understanding of self. A nurse for 22 years, her knowledge of anatomy and professional experience inform her teaching. Her classes are intelligently sequenced, and designed to build strength and stability. Through concise alignment cues and compassionate guidance, Angela seeks to empower students to take charge of their own personal practice. Angela received her 200 and 300-hour certification at Longwave Yoga under the direction of Lexi Hawks and Mary Glackmeyer. She is currently studying with Annie Carpenter in pursuit of 300-hour certification in SmartFLOW Yoga.
