About me.
My name is Angela Kastanis and I am a senior yoga teacher, a dance movement therapist and life coach but foremost I am a lover of life.
My most ideal days are those when I am on unscheduled time, free to follow my impulses and see how the day unfolds. I might find myself walking my dog at the beach, pottering in my garden or sitting under a tree feeling the movement of the breeze. Interestingly, this ‘me’ time, energizes me to get on with my ‘to do’ list.
I was blessed to have found dance very young. My most poignant memory of being truly 'seen' was as a little girl dancing in our small kitchen with my aunt and cousins. My aunty was leading us in a lively traditional Greek circle dance, and I was loving it! As we were dancing, my aunty’s gaze fell on me and for the longest moment, we were seeing joy in each other’s eyes. I was ‘seen’ and acknowledged in my joy. That gaze is now etched in my soul as the affirmation that I exist, I am good, and it is my birthright to enjoy life. This is my blueprint for the love and joy that dance opens in me and helps me navigate difficult times.
As a teenager, I discovered yoga and later trained as a yoga teacher and have been offering yoga classes since 1992. Yoga is a daily part of my life that always helps me return to my essence, my ground and my purpose. Offering the gifts of yoga to others is a sacred service.
I now help others move into life in my yoga classes, dance movement therapy sessions and life coaching. Helping others overcome obstacles, find their essence and drive for life is my calling.
I welcome you to contact me if you resonate and feel that I can help you move forward in your life.
