ANGELA HOWELL
PROFESSIONAL EXPERTISE
I am passionate about supporting people to live a healthier, happier, wholesome, and aligned existence. I encourage them to hold space for healing, awakening, remembering, surrendering, and an opportunity to come home. I enjoy sharing all I have learned over the past 20 years on this spiritual exploration of self, humanity, Mother Earth, and divine grace.
Modern Kundalini Yoga is my own unique creation, for which I am forever grateful. I am passionate about it. I take the ancient science of Kundalini Yoga and infuse it with my heart, soul, and unique expression. The practice is done with the eyes closed. I spend hours cultivating the perfect playlist to support the journey we take together. There are kriyas (meaning action) that I create with a specific intention, for example, faith, self-love, intuition, nervous system support, liver detox, root energy center, and more. There are thousands of kriyas to choose from. The kriya is teamed up with a meditation to support the intention. It is an empowering, detoxifying, joyful, and invigorating experience that connects you back to your “Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo” (the divine infinite wisdom within).
I offer a variety of other styles of Yoga as well. Hatha, Yin, Restorative, Restorative + Reiki, Power Flow, Breathwork and Meditation.
Jikiden Reiki + Massage are also other passions of mine.
Whether it is a yoga class, massage, Reiki, a workshop, or a retreat that I am offering, it is always my intention to support my work with the highest good for the individuals involved because that, in turn, benefits all of humanity and Mother Earth. I wholeheartedly believe the healing and the “work” we choose to do have an impact on everything and everyone. Sat Nam (truth is my identity)

WELLNESS Q&A
WHAT IS THE GREATEST CHALLENGE OF YOUR PROFESSION?
I feel the greatest challenge in my profession has been the commercialization of Yoga. It is upsetting to see something so sacred and divine turned into a multi-billion dollar industry, where the heart and soul of it can be diluted, missed, disrespected, and manipulated for financial gain or fame. That is why I am so committed to honouring the sacredness of Yoga in a way that aligns with my core values, ethics, and integrity. To me, Yoga is a way of living, loving and being in the world.
WHY DO YOU BELIEVE WHAT YOU DO HAS A POSITIVE IMPACT ON YOUNG WOMEN NAVIGATING LIFE AFTER BREAST CANCER?
The positive effects of Modern Kundalini in my own life have been a strong body, mind, and spirit, faith, greater love of self, confidence, peace, healing, reprogramming of limiting beliefs, detoxing of unhealthy habits and energy, deeper connection to my divinity, courage, commitment, joy, happiness, hope, a healthier mindset, and much more. I can honestly say Modern Kundalini has changed my life in so many positive and healthy ways.
The positive effects I have experienced from Yin, Restorative, Restorative + Reiki, meditation and breathwork have been: stabilization of my nervous system, detoxification, grounding, inner peace, clarity, guidance from my higher self, contentment, faith, balance, happiness, feeling safe, calm, loved, supported, and much more.
The positive effects of Reiki and massage support my physical, energetic, emotional, and spiritual self.
I feel all I offer will be of great benefit to women navigating life after breast cancer because my work supports a healthier body, mind, spirit, and connection to self.
WHAT IS THE SECRET TO MAINTAINING A POSITIVE OUTLOOK?
Gratitude! Having a daily gratitude practice or journal is a game-changer for me. I also take time to meditate, move my body, eat foods that nourish me, spend time with the ones I love, spend time in nature, and choose to do the things that bring me joy, happiness and light me up. I have also learned that creating a healthy support system/community/tribe is essential for a positive outlook on my life.

WHAT INSPIRES YOU TO LIVE A GREAT LIFE?
Knowing with every cell of my being that my life is a precious gift. I want to honour that gift and create the most magical life for myself, my family, my friends, my community, and the world. This isn’t a dress rehearsal, so I wanna live my best life!
WHEN WAS YOUR FAITH MOST TESTED; HOW DID YOU RISE IN THE FACE OF ADVERSITY?
When I had to terminate my pregnancy at six months because her brain was swelling. I took time to heal, got a really good therapist, allowed my friends and family to support me, spent time in nature, ate healthy food, meditated, practiced yoga and prayer, allowed myself the opportunity to feel all of the feels, traveled, got massages, reiki, and acupuncture. I took myself to Ireland with six best friends to do a week of Yoga training with Max Strom and spent a week playing and celebrating life in Dublin. I talked about and shared my experience with my community, family, and friends. And most importantly, I gave thanks and gratitude for my baby girl and the gifts she brought me and so many.
