About Angelina Calafiore, CMT, CYT
Angelina is an inspired and talented instructor. She is passionate about yoga and infuses her classes with yoga philosophy and thought provoking contemplations at the end of every class. She has a powerful ability to inspire her students to look for their potential, while challenging and nurturing their process in a fun and safe environment. Being mindful and attentive during practice so that her students learn to feel one with their actions is also of great importance to her. Angelina instructs with the aim of guiding her students in their own process, so over time, they can develop a finer sensitivity to the more subtle movements in their bodies and minds. In her view, the teacher becomes the key to open here-to-fore locked doors and each student is allowed an opening to explore his or her own inner dimensions. In order to create an inspired synchronicity within the class, she encourages her students to be mindful and present. “A consistent yoga practice teaches us how to be mindful and absorbed in the present moment, which consequently naturally slows down the ‘mental chatter’ of the mind. This in turn not only has a direct effect on our mental status but also improves our physical health and wellbeing as a result of a mind that is at ease and calm.”
Angelina is so passionate about yoga that she has created experiential yoga presentations for corporations and organizations across America. Most notably she has presented breakout sessions and keynote speeches for companies such as The Society for Human Resource Management, The International Personnel Management Association, The California Women’s Conference and the Amputee Coalition of America.
