About
Angela began her yoga journey in 2005 while living in Hawaii practicing Ashtanga yoga. Over time, hardships and stress with herself and family, caused her practice to evolve. When she began practicing yoga with her children and husband, she noticed the immediate positive impact yoga had on each of them. Witnessing the amazing changes in her own family, she knew she had to share her love of yoga with as many children, families, and adults as possible.
Yoga is the perfect opportunity to be curious about yourself.
