About me
a little about me...
I stumbled into my first yoga class over 10 years ago. I very quickly fell in love with the practice of yoga and everything it has to offer.
I’m originally from Germany and have been living on Australia’s sunny shores for over seven years now. And absolutely loving it.
I see my yoga practice as a way to cultivate a space where I can return to the places and memories that bring me joy. My practice always allows me to return home to myself. Every day and to this day.
I love to provide a space where others can grow their practice and discover their true home within themselves. My classes are inspired by free and natural movements - with a pinch of curiosity, compassion and most importantly, laughter.
Outside the yoga shala, I’m a service designer who works with organisations to design new products and services. I’m also a bit of a traveller, so ask me about my latest adventure the next time you see me.

highlights
"I felt an instant warmth and calmness from the moment I was welcomed by Angela to her class. Her soothing voice gives me the space to drop deeper into my practice. Offering strong yet nourishing classes, I always walk out of the studio feeling content. Her sequencing is thoughtful, inventive and knowledgeable. I encourage anyone to take her classes."
- Renee Kennedy, teacher at the Australian Yoga Academy
"I love the way Angela incorporates spinal movements into her classes. It allows me to practice without pain and progress with ease. Time between transitions ensure I'm not over breathing and remaining calm during my practice. Her classes are themed around applying philosophy to modern day circumstances. I love Angela's classes!"
- Angela Knight, Founder of Calm Buddhi & teacher at Shining Light Yoga
"Angela leads a beautiful and warm practice with heart and wisdom. She has a calm and welcoming energy which creates a wonderful space to learn.
Thank you, xo."
- Andi Cozza, yoga student at Shining Light Yoga
