“Destiny grants us our wishes, but in
its own way, in order to give us something beyond our wishes.” –
Goethe
Angela’s love for yoga began in 2003
after a car accident challenged her to find a way to rehab her
knees. Successfully rehabbing both knees her curiosity grew,
realizing the powerful healing properties of yoga. Her interest led
her to enroll in the 200 Teacher Training with Yogaworks. She was
drawn to this program because of their emphasis on anatomy,
alignment principles, and proper sequencing. Further convinced of
the vast benefits that yoga offered, she enrolled in the 300 Hr
Professional program with Yogaworks. She was fortunate to have been
paired with the very well respected, much loved, “teachers teacher”
Annie Carpenter as her mentor. She is now a strong believer as well
as student of Annie’s “smart flow” yoga; a strong vinyasa flow yoga
style that brings together intelligent sequencing with emphasis on
safety and proper alignment. This type of yoga strengthens tones and
tightens the body, focuses the mind and allows the body to open in a
safe and logical way. Angela’s sessions range from the meditative
and restorative to powerful sweaty strong vinyasa flow sequences.
Just as the body is unique and changes from day to day, Angela is
constantly observing and tailoring the yoga sessions to the clients
individual needs and desires. Much more than simply stretching, yoga
enlivens and awakens every cell in the body creating muscles that
work together harmoniously. Regular yoga practice improves posture,
relieves stress, creates powerful core strength, prevents injuries
due to tight muscles and integrates the body and mind creating
wellness in all parts of your being. Having just completed a teacher
training intensive with vinyasa flow guru Shiva Rhea, Angela
constantly thrives to offer her clients fresh perspective,
creativity and inspiration in their yoga practice. She invites you
to join her in a fun expressive exploration into your own
wonderfully unique yoga practice.
“What
lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to
what lies within us.” – Oliver Wendell Holmes
Angela is available for
private yoga lessons in Los Angeles.
The
benefits of practicing yoga
Yoga
as we all know it is aimed to unite the mind, the body, and the
spirit. Yogis view that the mind and the body are one, and that if
it is given the right tools and taken to the right environment, it
can find
harmony
and heal itself. Yoga therefore is considered therapeutic. It helps
you become more aware of your body's posture, alignment and patterns
of movement. It makes the body more flexible and helps you relax
even in the midst of a stress stricken environment. This is one of
the foremost reasons why people want to start Practicing Yoga - to
feel fitter, be more energetic, be happier and peaceful.
