Hi!

My name is Angie, I am a yoga teacher and so excited to be able to share my passion for yoga with all of you. I started practicing yoga in the summer of 2008; maybe I shouldn’t even say practicing; I went to a yoga class one time Ha! I first discovered yoga while going to my local YMCA and at the time I didn’t take it very serious. Why!? because I had no Idea of what a “downward facing dog” looked like and I hated having to look around the room to keep up with the class. Not only that, but In the beginning yoga was challenging for me because I was a little bit heavier than the “typical” yogi; so I thought!
 
 
After I got over the thought of being too heavy for my mat (two years later), I decided to give Yoga a second chance! Well… a friend of mine dragged me to this yoga studio where I was introduced to “Hot Yoga”. And there I was in a hot 90 degrees room full of people that I did not know and as hot and uncomfortable as it may sound… I loved it! I remember being so close to the girl next to me that I got slapped with a few drops of her sweat yuck! Ever since that day hot yoga became what i like to call my BFF. Three years into my practice and 20 pounds less, I made the decision of becoming a yoga teacher. While in teacher training, I realized that yoga had not only been the pathway to losing weight and feeling healthy, but it had also become my passion! And my mat the place where I find, my courage, my peace and sometimes my tears.
