Following a Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma diagnosis in 2001, Angela began practicing yoga, inspired by the therapeutic effects a regular practice had on her energy levels, immune system function, and overall well being. In 2008, Angela decided to leave her corporate life behind, after 10 years working in sales and marketing for the investment management and professional services industries. She's since traded her Jimmy Choos for a rubber yoga mat and hasn't looked back. Angela travels extensively and has recently returned to her hometown of Chicago following a five year stint in London. Angela is a Level 3 Central YMCA Qualified Yoga Teacher, is registered with the Register of Exercise Professionals (REPs) and is currently working towards certification in Anusara yoga.

Angela gives thanks to all the teachers who have inspired her practice, including John Friend, Sianna Sherman, Carlos Pomeda, Sally Kempton, Bikram Choudury, Sharon Gannon, and David Life, as well as the esteemed teachers she had the privilege of practicing with during her training in London, including Lisa Sanfilippo, Bridget-Woods Kramer, Michele Pernetta, Mark Oram, and Stewart Gilchrist. As much as Angela has learnt from her yoga teachers, she maintains that it is her students that teach her the most, admitting "there's nothing more inspiring than witnessing a student unfurl, finding their own innate goodness while opening heart, mind and body to the limitless potential that lies ahead both on and off the mat."
