Course Curriculum
Hi, I’m Angela
Ayurveda and Yoga are sisters sciences that are incomplete without the other. By choosing to incorporate the two you are giving the gift of wholeness to yourself and your yoga students.
Yoga has been a part of my life for more than a decade. When I started getting serious about Ayurveda, everything just clicked for me and I couldn't not teach it in my weekly yin and vinyasa flow classes. The trainings I offer here are the culmination of years of study in alignment, creative sequencing, yoga philosophy and more.
For the past few years I have created and led in-person 30-hour trainings in yin, prenatal and kids yoga as well as various workshops in yoga sequencing and Ayurveda philosophy.
The Simple Ayurveda School offerings are my heart and soul.
I invite you to join me in balancing and broadening your Yoga practice and teaching in a way that is simple and blissful.
"Angela is a great mentor, teacher, and leader. She is very knowledgeable in her subject area and provides lots of feedback and guidance. She allows you to study at your pace, yet keeps you on track with check-ins. She is always available to help when needed. Highly recommend her classes and mentorships."

"Angela displayed such knowledge with Yin. She instructs such a beautiful Yin class. Her voice is calm and soothing. Her themes are beautiful and insightful, her shares are authentic and thought provoking, and her music selections along with Savasana invite relaxation and ease. Yin has provided me a deeper awareness of my body and mind..... and is a welcomed reminder of how I need to integrate more rest and yin into my life outside the studio."
