(the seeker who finds bliss in communion)


Angel is a social entrepreneur who has developed a keen spirit of service working and volunteering within the nonprofit and social sectors for over 15 years. In 2020, Angel became the founder of Higher-Self Friendly. 


As a facilitator and yoga instructor with HSF, Angel focuses on appreciating and honoring the roots of yoga and its social justice origins.  Their regular meditation and yoga practice has helped them establish a solid foundation for their physical, emotional and spiritual well-being.


As a leader of their community and social movement, Angel describes themselves as a seeker of bliss in communion, a creative, passionate and caring individual, who is committed to their personal and spiritual growth, as well as the growth, wellness and prosperity of their community.
 

Angel is happy to have the opportunity to lead with their heart and share HSF’s vision with others who are also seeking a deeper connection within promoting a sense of interdependence and collaboration rather than competition. They truly feel that collective efforts are essential for meaningful change and collective liberation, including building alliances, supporting other advocates, and working together towards common goals.
