Private Yoga Instructor Angela
Joy’s journey into yoga began in 2003, after a car accident
challenged her to find a way to rehab her knees. She immediately
fell in love with the intense mind, body and spirit connection yoga
awakened in her. Successfully rehabbing both knees her curiosity
grew, realizing the powerful healing properties of yoga.
Angela’s passion for yoga led her
to enroll in the 200 Teacher Training with Yogaworks. She was drawn
to the program because of their emphasis on anatomy, alignment
principles, and proper sequencing. Convinced of the vast benefits
that yoga offered, she enrolled in the 300 Hr Professional program
with Yogaworks. She studied with the well respected and much loved,
“teachers teacher” Annie Carpenter. Angela has become a strong
believer 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
her 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.
“Destiny grants us our
wishes, but in its own way, in order to give us something beyond our
wishes,” is one of Angela’s favorite quotations from Goethe.
Angela is available
for private yoga lessons in Pacific Palisades, Santa Monica,
Brentwood and nearby areas. |
