“I initially started doing Dream Yoga with Angela, and we instantly connected. She is a highly intuitive and spiritual person, and she made me feel at ease sharing personal information with her. Your dreams (subconscious) are trying to tell you something, and she can help you figure out what it is.
From there, she started helping me on inner work I didn’t know I needed. She helped me to see the limiting beliefs I was holding onto, that were inhibiting my growth/potential. She helped me to work through these issues, fully trust my intuition, and reclaim my innate power, which has helped me succeed in all areas of my life.
She’s seriously amazing, and I would highly recommend working with her on your personal journey toward reconnecting with yourself, and living your truth.”

TELL ME ABOUT WHAT YOU DO
Some call me a “dream reader”. I facilitate individuals or groups to learn how to work with their dreams in order to take those lessons, energy, or wisdom into their waking life.
I use different techniques and even somatic practices in all of this work. Embodied imagination is another dream work technique I use.
Dream yoga is a vehicle for expression of your dreams. We use yoga to get into your body and bring the feeling of the dreams into the body in order to be transformed. In dream yoga there are techniques likes visualization, meditation, and free movement. I have been teaching yoga for 7 years. I created dream yoga to bring the practices together….
What is lesser known about your business that you wish more people knew?
How important dreams are. You have all the wisdom from your own soul. We tend to go outwards to look for answers instead of looking within….

Angela has a way of transforming practices that feel esoteric and abstract into something tangible that anyone can do. Admittedly, I’m not the biggest yoga fan but Angela’s class floats by due to her fun personality, love for the work, and expertise. Her work with dreams is inspiring and imaginative; I’ve received so much clarity and direction from her guidance. Working with Angela has been a gift for me and I’m SO grateful she’s offering classes!

Angie, yoga and meditation with you was such a blessing and such a beautiful and fulfilling experience. As you well know, my life was in a difficult and pivotal transition and from our first yoga session together, I felt an immense healing take place, healing and growing that we built upon over the couple of years we worked together. I know that we were brought together at just the right time and place to play an important and lasting role in each other's lives. You really helped me open on a physical and spiritual level and all that I learned about myself through your guidance has stayed with me and is a part of my every day life, the essence of my being. My heart expanded and I found not only a greater and deeper love and understanding for the beauty of yoga and meditation, but I found and even more profound love for myself, my roots, my truth and my purpose. I am eternally grateful for you as my teacher and as my dear friend. I feel you with me every day, even across the continents and I make daily use of the tools and strength that you were integral in helping me develop. Thank you so much, all my love xoxo

Doing private yoga sessions with Angie contributed to one of the most physically flexible and mentally relaxed periods of my life. Angie is extremely knowledgeable about yoga and catered our sessions to my changing skill and fitness levels over the course of our 2 years working together. My wife and I worked with Angie weekly leading up to our wedding and it brought us closer together and helped us greet the day with minimal stress. Our weekly sessions together were always among the highlights of my week. I would have kept working with Angie indefinitely had we continued living in the same city and would highly recommend her services to anyone with an interest in yoga or dream work. ”
