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 Teacher Training with Yogaworks. She was drawn to this program because of their emphasis on anatomy, alignment principles, and proper sequencing. 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 a 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 classes are playful, fun and sweaty vinyasa flow sequences. Much more than simply stretching and strengthening, 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, and integrates the body and mind creating wellness in all parts of your being. Angela constantly strives to offer her students fresh perspective, creativity and inspiration in their yoga practice. She invites you to join her in a fun expressive exploration on your mat!

If you are interested in headstand, handstand and forearm stand and would like a bite-sized starter pack, this is for you! I'll give you tons of building blocks and playful techniques to help you understand what you want to engage...and how to engage it! I promise it will be fun! Ready, set, liftoff!

Intermediate yogis welcome and encouraged, just please pick the options that make sense for you along the way and always listen to your body! This is a playful backbend flow that will leave you feeling open and energized! We build lots of heat and open the hips, hamstrings, quadriceps, shoulders, chest and upper back so you are all set to explore some deeper backbends! If you're comfortable on your hands, we will incorporate backbends into our inversion practice (if not, I will give you tons of building blocks to work on). You can expect handstand and forearm stand with options to work at the wall. We will play with scorpion pose (again, I will show you how to approach at the wall if you're starting this exploration) and stag pose. Savasana is guaranteed to be sweet!

Hi yogis! Are you ready to go on an inversion journey? Yay! Grab two blocks and a bolster for your ticket to ride! In this 47-minute flow we play with tripod headstand, traditional headstand, forearm stand and handstand! You can expect some nice core work to get you fired up, and detailed instruction about how to safely and intelligently approach these poses. I'll break things down into bite-sized pieces, so if you aren't ready to go upside down today (and I'll tell you how to figure out if you are or aren't) you'll have plenty to work on to move toward these poses! Cool, huh? I think so too, let's do it!

This flow is all about strength-and-stretch. It's so good to build heat and open every major muscle group (your hips, hamstrings and shoulders are going to get a LOT of love here!) but it's also nice to have a really strong center! This is the perfect mix of yin/yang and I hope you enjoy, yogis :)

Want to go deep into some hip-opening in a short amount of time? Me, too! Get ready for an energizing, heat-building flow that targets the hips, hip flexors and quadriceps and gets us ready for lots of pigeon variations and our friend, the frog!

A quick but thorough deep-dive into the hips for days when you're short on time but really want to open. The shoulders and hamstrings get plenty of love, too, but the magic happens in those hips! Enjoy, yogis!

You know what happens when you do something you've done before, but you do it in a whole new way? You create neural pathways in your brain for creativity! For thinking outside the box -- for staying open to possibility. Good stuff, right? Join me for this stretchy, juicy, strengthening flow where we play with transitions and stay centered!

Hello, yogis! Today we have a fun, middle-of-the-road kinda flow that is not too crazy-hard and not easy, either! Just a sweet, solid, full-body flow with options for arm balances and inversions, but only if you want them! Enjoy this ride :)
