Angela grew up in and around the Kansas City area, born in Missouri, and settling with her husband and four sons in the Olathe area. She studied voice performance at the Conservatory of Music at UMKC, and after starting a family, worked for almost 15 years as an Autism Instructional Therapist for the Olathe School District. 

She discovered yoga later in her life while in recovery from childhood trauma and an eating disorder, and became passionate about sharing the healing powers of yoga and mindfulness. 

Angela is a 200 hr. certified teacher, and trauma certified through David Emerson’s Trauma Sensitive Yoga Training. She is passionate about giving back to the mental health community, and has worked and currently working in behavioral health hospitals in the Kansas City area, as well as teaching Yoga for First Responders for the Kansas City Police Department. She also has extensive specialty training in Yin Yoga, Restorative Yoga, Prenatal Yoga, and Yoga for Eating Disorders. 

Her main intention in teaching is to weave a sense of calm and self compassion into each practice. 

She has a poets heart, a love of words, as well as a bawdy sense of humor, and loves nothing more than a deep belly laugh!

Take this poem as her gift to you~

Where there is an ache

joy awaits

buried beneath nutrient rich soil

the throbbing heart

the homesickness

the want

is a reminder of what holds you

Here

Right here

Don’t forget...
