Meet Angie

Hi, I’m Angie. I can help you feel good again.

I am a certified yoga therapist passionate about relieving pain and enhancing well-being. Yoga therapy transformed my body and mind, and how I show up in the world. I know it can do the same for you!

Angie is based in Squamish, British Columbia – She strives to help people realize their passion and potential and personally knows it’s hard to do this when you have something getting in the way, like pain, tension, lack of energy or if you’re just not feeling aligned with yourself.

I became a yoga therapist because I deeply understand how pain can negatively impact your life. After my own experience with pregnancy and postpartum pain, I discovered that traditional yoga classes just weren't working for me anymore – even though I was an experienced yoga teacher!

I knew there had to be a more powerful and effective way to utilize the healing benefits of yoga to regain my energy, strength and resilience. So I did some research and discovered Susi Hately, a certified yoga therapist with decades of experience who taught me how to recognize the subconscious patterns of my body and learn a new way to move that helped me get out of pain. I found Susi’s work to be so incredibly valuable that I continued to work with her towards becoming a yoga therapist myself.  I completed the program April 2021 and I am now a C-IAYT Certified Yoga Therapist. I was also lucky to have met my Ayurveda teacher Dr. Mona Warner in Susi’s program and I’ve been studying with her ever since. Her approach to Ayurveda has also provided the structure, nourishment and support for me to find health, maintain balance and feel good. 

I would love to help you experience the healing benefits of yoga therapy for yourself!

Background & Work Experience

As a founding Owner, General Manager, Yoga Studio Manager and Yoga Teacher at ARC Climbing + Yoga (2014-2022), I learned a lot.

I learned that I am capable of many things and I can’t do it alone. Building a business and community around that business required a vision and sharing of that vision with staff and members. The vision was to build a community that would be welcoming, inclusive, supportive and safe for people to explore what they are capable of through climbing and yoga. Along the way people lived their lives. They became friends, got married, had babies and grew in many ways. Growing up as a “military child” who moved around a lot, I know how important and life changing belonging to a community can be. Countless staff and members have shared how important ARC was for them during a particularly hard time in their lives (ie: mental health, loss of a loved one, health challenges, divorce, new to town, the pandemic…). A time when they were suffering and the ARC community provided support, relief, space and healing for them. I know it did for me too.

It also taught me that people get sick, injured and suffer through many hardships. Many of those same people are resilient and can heal and recover. I got really curious about this process and it’s a big part of why I’m a yoga therapist now. I noticed there was a gap for many people in where they wanted to be and where they currently stood and there was a lot of suffering within this gap. I’m really proud that ARC Climbing + Yoga is still going strong under the direction of the new owners. Way to go Sarah and Prince!

I also learned a lot about business. How to work with many different people, to communicate, budget, schedule, create programs, apply for money, plan, strategize, resolve conflicts, problem solve, train staff, give feedback, apologize and listen.

I learned a ton about stress, worry, anxiety and how they can impact the body and mind, especially during the pandemic. Not only personally as a business owner during this time, but also seeing many of our members and staff suffer through in different ways.

Since working with Angie I have less lower back pain, less stress and I feel more positive. I've also noticed that my breathing has changed. Before it felt somewhat restricted or limited and now I am gaining more capacity and ease in my breath. I'm looking forward to what comes next!
