Ms. Cerkevich’s journey into yoga and the healing arts began at a young age and that quest continued through her college days and early career as a professional actress and arts educator. Angela received her initial training in vinyasa yoga in Washington DC. Inspired to achieve balance and a mind-body connection in her own life, she traveled to India and Thailand where she studied with masters in the field, refining her knowledge and techniques. She further explores her yoga practice with studies in Anusara yoga with master teacher Jonas Westring and Yoga Therapy pioneer, Doug Keller. As she hones her focus on the emerging new field of yoga therapy, she has also been following the teachings of Amy Weintroub, known for her research in yoga for depression and anxiety and Richard Miller in techniques for Yoga Nidra – deep relaxation. Her current focus lies in facilitating spiritual healing for groups and individuals recovering from life traumas caused by conflicts and social instabilities.

Angela’s classes are geared towards finding balance in both the physical and mental bodies. She teaches a dynamic, alignment based vinyasa – styled class which usually includes some sacred poetry or yoga philosophy. Also included are pranayama, meditation, chanting, and deep relaxation. Her ultimate goal of balance is achieved by teaching classes that are appropriate to the level groups’ or individuals abilities.
