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!

Lots of front-body opening, love for your quads, hips, hamstrings and spine, twists to wring yourself out, core strengthening, optional handstands if you want to turn your world upside down, a fun camel pose flow, and all in all a very well-rounded flow in just under 25 minutes! Enjoy yogis!

A playful and creative flow targeting back-bending! Intentional sequencing so we open the shoulders, chest, upper back, quadriceps and psoas along with the hamstrings. Of course we'll strengthen the core so you feel centered and your spine is supported as we open. Options for arm balances and inversions along the way to that beautiful, open heart!

What is one-legged crow pose 2, you ask? Grab your mat and I will show you! Along the way, we will open the shoulders, hips and hamstrings, strengthen the core and have a lot of fun. If you've taken my class before, you know we will work hard and laugh hard! Ready?

We're going to have all kinds of fun in this practice! Think crow pose, baby crow pose, one-legged crow pose, forearm stand, handstand and more...but all of this is coming right from our core! So we are going to get centered and then we will fly! A couple of blocks would be handy. Enjoy, yogis, and let me know if you have requests!

When you don't have a ton of time but want an energizing, heat-building flow with lots of options to get upside down! Optional handstands are peppered throughout this power flow along with standing balance and lots of twists. When we're nice and warm, two blocks may help you find the transition from tripod headstand to koundinyasana 1. Whatever happens, this flow packs in the fun and the heat!

You are a powerful creator of your own experience. What do you want to create with this practice? This is a mobility flow -no direct core work, no inversions, we're focused on mobility! This means we'll be building heat and doing LOTS of hip, hamstring and shoulder-opening, while giving lots of love to your spine. Please don't force a thing, work with your body to create space, there's no rush. Enjoy yogis! You might want to have a couple of blocks and a blanket handy.

We get right to it in this practice that targets creative and deep shoulder, hip and hamstring opening and offers many chances to wring yourself out with twists! Arm variations and binds in poses you might not expect, tripod headstand to koundinyasana 1 (a couple of blocks make this safe and fun) and deep breathing throughout. You'll feel energized, open and ready for anything, yogis!
