Student Testimonials
"I would like to thank you again for the amazing space you held for me this summer. I really didn't know what to think about this program at first and was full of so many doubts about making the right decision in being a part of it all. I now see that the prize is truly in the process! It all happened so organically. You seriously helped me break through walls that I had pretty much accepted as my reality. I now feel that the possibilities for my future are endless! I'm going to miss our group as well but I know that my journey with Baptiste and YogaSport has just begun."
Patrick "Erin"- Summer 2011
"I had a great summer and feel I really grew as a person. You are a great teacher and I learned so much from you. I can tell you really care deeply for each and every one of us. I'm excited to go through the Spark! program and grow even more and get to know you better. I love you!!"
Amber- Summer 2011
"To say that you have impacted my life is a severe understatement. You have helped transform and shape me as a person. Thank you for being a strong leader and mentor and even more for being a caring being. I’ve enjoyed this journey and cannot thank you enough for providing the teachings and space for all of it. I feel like I am in a better place today than ever before. Thanks for this journey."
Karen- Summer 2011
"Last night I shared with my mom and sister more details of our fabulous summer together and they could see a mental, physical and emotional change in me. For that, I'm tremendously grateful to you. I noticed on my travel home that I was PRESENT with everyone I came in contact with, looking people in their eyes, extending thanks for any gesture and also taking time to be grateful for everything that brought me joy. I even caught myself standing proudly in Tadasana. I could go on and on about the little things I have noticed since entering this training.
I was trying to find words to express to my family how much dedication you put into your work, and how you manage to "show up" for us no matter what is going on in your life. In fact, I remember that I wanted to stop your husband one Sunday and tell him thank you. I felt that he needed to be thanked, because you give so much of yourself to YS and to us, and he could be getting all of that LOVE himself!
On a more serious note, I want to thank you for believing in yourself and following your heart to become a yoga teacher. I don't think you would have ever known that you would one day help so many people regain their strength, pursue long-harbored dreams and overcome the fears and lies they created about themselves. You have been a blessing to my life and I thank you for being a tremendous teacher."
Georgette- Summer 2011
"This program is so much more than learning the asanas! I truly believe that Angela and the YSYS helped me become the best possible version of myself and I learned how to share that version through yoga and teaching. It strengthened my existing relationships and created new relationships. It’s been a springboard to a fantastic life and I can’t wait to see where this journey takes me!!"
Shannon - Fall/Winter 10-11
"Teacher Training with Angela was a life changing experience. It was hard. It was emotional. At times, it kicked my a**. When I signed up, I was looking for a challenge, but I walked away with life skills that will help me be the person I want to be for the rest of my life. The experience totally supersedes practicing and learning about asanas and postures (though I learned that too). I learned about life, communication, compassion, anatomy, and most importantly all about myself. Angela doesn’t mess around either. When she says be prepared to work, she means it. The accomplishment and personal satisfaction I fostered over the last four months is invaluable, and it would not have happened without the support of the entire YogaSport community. Be prepared to sweat, cry, and grow. "
Christopher - Fall/Winter 10-11
"YogaSport Yoga School was one of the most rewarding personal experiences of my life! I enrolled in the program with the expectation of learning more about yoga and deepening my own personal practice. This journey not only exceeded those expectations but also set me on a path of deeper self-awareness as well as greater awareness and appreciation of others and all things around me.
Everyday, in all aspects of my life, I benefit from the skills, knowledge and tools you shared with us. This program is helping me to be a better mother, wife, daughter, sister, friend, employer and employee! Most importantly I'm learning to be the best, authentic and present person that I can be, which is not what I expected when I enrolled. At times it was hard work, both physically and emotionally. Other times it was so easy and natural. At all times it was absolutely worth the time and effort you put into the instruction as well as the time I put into receiving this gift.
It is truly a gift Angela. Your light, energy, passion and humility are a beacon and inspiration to me and my YSYS classmates. Whatever path I take in my yoga journey will be easier and more rewarding for having started the journey with you and my yoga-sisters. Thank you for sharing your passion with me. Follow your true path to light the path for others. Much happiness and love, Peg"
Peg - Summer 2009
"People pleasing makes you phony. Yes, that was me. Voted nicest in my senior class, I carried the torch too long. For some reason, I believed that if everyone else around me was happy and if I could help make them happy then I would be happy, too. Very successful and tough at my job, the strength never translated into my personal life. I had a tendency to forgive everyone but myself. The thought of sharing with anyone authentic pieces of me was daunting. As a natural listener, those around me have always felt comfortable sharing their lives with me. Whew, pressure off. As long as I’m listening, I’m not sharing. I’m not being me. After 29 years, it was time to stop delaying. I really didn’t expect to uncover this through training, but I could not be more grateful that I did. It was a tough process, but its rewards are life changing and life enhancing. I’m a better, more authentic person because of it. Angela did not coddle us or give us a false sense of security. We did the work. She gave us the tools. When I finished, I had a sense of confidence that came from within me and not from anyone else or what they thought about me, because it did not matter. What does matter is what I think of me. The program is organized, professional and life changing. I would do it all over again, and I can not wait to share my love of yoga. If you want to learn the asana, take a beginner’s series or buy a book. However, if you want to inspire others through your authentic self, it is time to sign up.
Halfway through the program, I was reading my Melodie Beattie devotional and came across, "your healers will come to you." Yes, they do. Hello, my name is Jessica and I'm a recovering people pleaser."
Jessica - Summer 2009
For several years I've been investigating various yoga training programs offered throughout the Metroplex and Texas. Not one of those programs ever said to me, "Melinda this one is for you.” Then I heard that Angela was going to offer training at YogaSport. My heart immediately said “enroll today," and I'm so grateful that I did. I have learned more about the practice of yoga, living the yogic lifestyle and myself than I ever thought possible. "Intensive" training is not an exaggeration. The program was intense, invigorating, and life changing for me. If you are interested in this intensive, take Angela’s classes to experience for yourself her exceptional teaching skills and passion for yoga. It speaks for itself.
Melinda - Summer 2009
"I can't say enough about how the YogaSport Yoga School is amazing. Angela utilizes her extensive knowledge of yoga, specifically the Baptiste practice, to create a challenging, comprehensive and fun training program. The YogaSport community is a warm and welcoming one. I didn't practice at YogaSport prior to the training, and now they've got me hooked! I've built amazing friendships with several people who I would not have met if I hadn't taken a leap of faith and joined Angela's program. I would recommend anyone who is interested in being challenged, physically, intellectually and emotionally, to consider the YogaSport Yoga School. I wish I could do it all over again!"
Colly - Summer 2009
"My goals for attending the YSYS were to build my confidence, improve my communication skills and learn how to better connect with people. I was stretched tremendously in all of these areas and was given so many tools to take myself to the next level. Yoga is truly a journey and this training really helped me learn so much about myself and yoga as a practice. I highly recommend it to anyone. It's the best learning gift I have given myself."
Kelly - Summer 2009
