About Me
I am a 500 hour registered and insured yoga teacher dedicated to helping others break free of mental habit patterns that lead to stress and poor health. Using basic movement and breath awareness, my yoga classes are geared towards easing tension, focusing the mind, and leaving every student feeling lighter and more energized.
My yoga practice became a way of life when I moved to California and started practicing with Bryan Kest. His studio, Santa Monica Power Yoga. was a melting pot of old and young, rich and poor, beginner and advanced students. There would be anywhere from 50-150 students being led on a 90 minute journey that took you through every nook and cranny of the body until the mind was still. No matter how intense your day might have been, by the end of the class, you were floating out the door.
My commitment to donation-based classes and my teaching style are inspired by my yoga role models: namely Bryan Kest, Travis Eliot, Rudy Mettia, and Jerome Mercier. In 2023, I completed a 300 hr. yoga teacher training with Sarahjoy Marsh, which advanced my studies in yoga psychology, ayurveda, neuroscience, adaptive yoga and mindfulness techniques. In 2024, I decided to incorporate other fitness modalities into my skill set and I am now a certified personal trainer.
Since moving back to my home state of NJ, I enjoy teaching LA-styled, power yoga at the Jersey Shore. At the same time, I also love my chair yoga students and creating dynamic sequences that incorporate, breathwork, balance, and dynamic movement that challenges the mind and body to remain supple and strong.
Yoga for every body!
In 2022, Angela began teaching Chair Yoga to active seniors in 55+ communities. In her senior classes, where the average age is 77, Angela is known for bringing a sweetness and sense of humor to her routines while at the same time, offering opportunities for students to go beyond perceived limitations that prevent many of them from living their best years in optimal health.
If you are interested in having Angela come to your community for a series of yoga classes or a special event, contact her at: (310) 775-1521 or DM on FB @angieb1113 or IG @Angela_8limbs
TESTIMONIALS
"Using the breathing practices we learned in class, I find myself better able to clear my mind and invoke sleep faster. It is an unexpected joy to initiate sleep and stay asleep simply by adjusting the way I breathe." ~Kathi M., age 75
"In the 7 months that I have been regularly attending these classes, my balance has improved significantly. My strength and breathing have improved tremendously. I can stand longer and stretch further than before these classes. Angela’s knowledge and calm, sweet and pleasant demeanor make these sessions a joy."
~Terri R., age 66
"We are the luckiest group of yogis, at Sunrise Bay because of our special instructor Angela Maguire. Every Thursday morning we experience a chair yoga class for mind and body that gives us strength and inner peace. Our angel is Angela and we love this class." ~Beverly D., age 79
