YOGA WITH ANGELA
Meet Angela
With over 20 years of personal practice and more than 1,000 hours of teaching experience, Angela is a 500-hour certified yoga teacher who brings depth, heart, and wisdom to every class. Her journey with yoga began as a personal exploration and quickly became a lifelong path after discovering the transformative power of breath and movement.
Yoga became her sanctuary—a space for healing, growth, and reconnection through every season of life, from marriage and motherhood to the evolving rhythms of midlife and beyond. Her teaching has grown alongside her, now centering on gentle, accessible yoga for older adults, children, and anyone seeking mindful, supportive movement.
With warmth and clarity, she creates welcoming spaces where students of all ages and abilities can move with intention, connect with their breath, and feel at home in their bodies.
"Breathing in, I calm body and mind. Breathing out, I smile. Dwelling in the present moment I know this is the only moment"

About Me
Originally from Taiwan and raised in Vancouver, Canada, Angela later moved to California, where she spent over a decade working in the medical device industry. In search of a more fulfilling path, she left her demanding career to pursue her passion for yoga. Angela felt called to share this healing practice with others, expanding her teaching to include gentle yoga for older adults and children.
Angela now teaches in the Saratoga community, specializing in gentle flow, senior yoga, and kids yoga. Her classes are for students of all ages and abilities to explore mindful movement. Outside of yoga, Angela stays active with volunteer work at school and enjoys planning family travels, cooking, and shopping in her free time.
