About me
Through her own life’s journey Angella found herself on her mat in need of a change. “Yoga has made me realize that life itself is my medicine. By connecting to myself on my mat I rediscovered how to connect with myself off my mat discovered countless ways to peel away what’s keeping me from my truth through not only yoga but breathing, playing, dancing, singing and nature.” Life teaches us how to see ourselves as we are and recognize that we are actually not these human bodies so we learn to relate better to ourselves on a deeper level in order to relate to what is happening outside of our human bodies in a more gentle way. To reconnect to our true nature. By rekindling that connection to herself she found the safety she needed to live life more openly and more freely. After all the healing and transformation yoga has brought her she knew that she had to share this gift.
My Medicine:
Movement; Since I was a kid movement has been my medicine. I am always looking for ways to move and be in my body especially after many years of disassociating because of childhood trauma. Running was my first form of meditation when I was young, I thought I was running away from my problems, but I realized years later that I was actually running home to myself. Yoga has brought me so much closer to myself after many years of being so disconnected, it is and always will be my church. Dancing is my favorite way to move, to get lost in the music and within myself it always brings me home.
Sound; Music has always played a huge part in my life, as a child my father was and still is a musician and always had different instruments and music going on in our house. Although I tried many instruments as a kid I had a hard time finding the patience to sit and learn them. I was in choir in high school. Going to concerts and festivals has always been my favorite pastime where music and dance become one. It wasn’t until recently I started having an obsession with singing and playing instruments again. I started doing Kirtan or just singing at gatherings and remembered how much joy it brings me. And after experiencing sound baths I started to want to learn and share that with others as well. Singing and playing instruments brings me an infinite amount of joy and peace.
Ceremony;It has been and honor over the years to travel and experience other cultures and rituals and to learn and get to share in reverence to the many people I have the honor of holding space for on retreats, in gatherings, workshops and circles. It is a sacred container that I hold with so much respect for others to be seen, heard and held.
Community;The times in my life when I am the most joyful is when I feel I have a community. Sometimes this is the small community of my housemates who are like family and our Wolfpack. Other times it’s the deep respect that I have for my community of strong, beautiful and inspiring women. And other times it is communities that have been created by like minded people who want to show up for each other to become the best versions of ourselves. We are all here on this path together and we will rise together.
Nature;Connecting with Pachamama is and has always been my favorite way to get grounded. If I feel disconnected I go for a hike or a walk. Mother Earth is medicine in more ways than one and we are so lucky to have the abundance of beauty that she offers us all around the world. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
