About the facilitator:

Angora is a trauma-informed somatic yoga teacher with over 15 years of practice and teaching combined and 1300+ hours of training.

Her own journey through injury, nervous system dysregulation, relocation, pregnancy, and motherhood gradually shifted her relationship with movement away from performance and toward a more sustainable and embodied approach.

Today, she blends somatics with yoga to create spaces where students can reconnect with themselves gently, honestly, and without pressure to perform.
