Radiant Well-Being
Radiant Well-Being~~~
Private Yoga & Reiki for Vibrant Health
with Angela Caplan
In Private Yoga sessions we engage in an age-old approach, calling on classic techniques which, for thousands of years have been proven to provide an authentic experience of Radiant Well-Being: deep connection to self & the journey to vibrant health in every regard.
For more than 4 decades, I have had the privilege of helping seniors, adults, teens, and children alike, experience health & wellness. It has been and continues to be, my total pleasure to do so.
In these sessions, with my support, you will:
Clarify your intention (sankalpa) in a serene & sacred space.
Fine-tune your body's alignment (asana) & let go of old, limiting movement patterns for ultimate freedom in breath (pranayama) & harmony in body, mind & heart.
Experience quietude with visualization (dharana) & meditation (dhyana). Release overall stress. Dissolve contracting belief patterns and mental clutter. Rest deeply.
Your intention may be to manage back pain and you will discover, to your surprise, that you have also found mental clarity, emotional balance & creative impulse. The path of yoga is dynamic & the goal, attainable. May your journey be fulfilling and joyful!
Restorative Poses offered in a Private Yoga session
Reiki/ Energy Medicine: Reiki is an ancient Japanese energy healing practice where universal (rei) life-force energy (ki) flows through the gentle touch of the hands, bringing balance, harmony, and deep restoration to your body, mind, and spirit. The energy of the subtle body’s centers (chakras) can be read and can inform you of ways to create balance in yourself. I use a hands-off techinque as well, and engage the aid of sound vibration with mantras, tuning-forks, and stones. I teach you hasta mudras (hand gestures) to help you practice how to direct your energetic circuitry on a regular basis. Deep healing can and does occur in my own personal practice and experience of giving and receiving Reiki. I practice on myself daily and my family most days. Interestingly, Reiki is often coupled with medical treatment in hospitals. I had a first-hand experience of this after surgery 15 years ago and was so curious then, and now, convinced.

TESTIMONIALS: Thank you!
Angela is a remarkable light worker! Reiki sessions with her leave me feeling grounded, peaceful, and so in tune with my body (and mind, breath, heart!) I love the way she incorporates many things (sound, aroma, crystal energy, etc) into each session, and love the way she makes me feel safe, supported, and seen. I have been privileged to receive her energy in person and through distance Reiki, and always experience the most beautiful, subtle shifts in my body that allow for gentle healing and transformation— physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

I asked Angela to help me with hip flexor pain that had been bothering me for about 8 months. It was affecting all aspects of my life, even my sleep sometimes. She looked at my posture and symmetry, the way I walked and moved. Then she recommended stretches, and ball-work to help release the fascia in my neck, pectoral muscles, hips, and feet. I have had a significant improvement in my hip discomfort and have been almost pain-free since I first saw her about 6 weeks ago. I like how she takes a whole body approach to healing, even when the problem seems to be isolated. I’m very thankful she was able to get me on the path to healing because nothing else I tried was working.

I came to Angela seeking relief from a new back pain. She immediately identified the problem and its overall remedy. During 3 private sessions she gave me targeted stretches to address the problem and offered suggestions for tailoring them to meet my needs. She was always patient and encouraging, which was much appreciated. After 5 months my back problem has improved a good deal. While this journey is a work-in-progress, my quality of life has definitely improved, for which I am extremely grateful.

Angela is an inspired and inspiring yoga therapist. She truly has a Third Eye when it comes observing and identifying anatomical variations and physical issues. In her regular classes, she brings that awareness into guiding each student into adaptations for their body. but it is more than well worth taking a private yoga therapy session (or many!) for the individual attention Angela can apply. In a one-on-one session, I have found that Angela can really help me correct faulty alignment and "open up tight spaces" (Angela's words, but it happens!). Over the course of just an hour, I notice a significant difference, both physically and - this is key - in terms of my mental awareness of my body overall and specific parts. Furthermore, I walk away* with a menu of asanas, exercises and relaxation techniques that I can incorporate into my own home practice and self-therapy sessions. What a great investment. ~J.K. - Professor
Four years ago I received the devastating diagnosis that I had breast cancer. Following my surgery and radiation, I looked for alternative and complementary approaches to help in my healing journey. One such method was creative imagery. Through imagery in private sessions with Angela I felt showered by an immense feeling of peace and sense of healing. Yoga is a blessing in my life.

"Angela has been a most resourceful and perceptive yoga instructor for my yoga practice. The space she holds during our sessions feels sacred and safe. I have gained wonderful insights during our private sessions."
~ S.C. Acupuncturist
Working with Angela was a huge treat! She is patient and encouraging, making yoga extremely accessible. My session with her was insightful into the way my body moves. She worked with me to find what poses worked best for my person. We worked on solutions for coping with stress and how to center yourself. With this knowledge I was able to better grasp how my body was reacting to certain situations within my life. And I feel I am more capable of understanding how to release the tension I hold onto. I am so grateful for her sharing here knowledge and caring heart!

"My work with Angela afforded me the opportunity to use yoga as part of my functional rehabilitation following an injury. Moreover, what I learned from Angela and then practiced positively informed my on-going practice."
