Welcome, I'm Angela.

I'm a C-IAYT (IAYT-Certified Yoga Therapist) and Registered Yoga Australia Yoga Therapist & Yoga Teacher based in Perth, Western Australia.

My work is centred around helping people find practical, sustainable ways to support their health and wellbeing through the therapeutic application of yoga.

I work particularly with women navigating stress, chronic pain, fatigue, chronic health conditions, cancer recovery, perimenopause and menopause, sleep difficulties and major life transitions.

My approach is personalised, compassionate and collaborative.

Rather than asking you to fit into a particular style of yoga, I look at how yoga can be adapted to you — your body, your experiences, your health, your lifestyle and what matters most to you.

The aim isn't to make you fit into yoga. The aim is to make yoga work for you.

Angela Black, C-IAYT

IAYT-Certified Yoga Therapist | Registered Yoga Australia Yoga Therapist & Yoga Teacher

My journey with yoga began through movement, but over time I became increasingly interested in everything that happens beyond the physical practice.

Yoga can offer much more than postures.

It can give us ways to work with the breath, develop greater awareness, cultivate steadiness, support relaxation and reconnect with ourselves.

I became particularly interested in how these practices could be adapted for people who are experiencing health challenges or life circumstances that make a traditional yoga class unsuitable or inaccessible.

This led me to deepen my studies in yoga therapy.

Becoming a C-IAYT has allowed me to bring together my experience as a yoga teacher with specialised training in the therapeutic application of yoga.

Today, my work focuses on creating individualised practices that are appropriate, accessible and meaningful to the person in front of me.

Personalised. Collaborative. Compassionate.

I believe that there is no single yoga practice that is right for everyone.

Your practice needs to reflect you.

That means taking into consideration your current health, energy, mobility, experiences, goals and daily life.

Depending on what you need, yoga therapy may include:

• Gentle therapeutic movement

• Breath awareness and breathing practices

• Meditation and mindfulness

• Relaxation and restorative practices

• Nervous system regulation strategies

• Body awareness

• Lifestyle and self-management practices

• A personalised home practice

I use an invitational approach, encouraging you to develop awareness of your own experience rather than pushing through discomfort or trying to achieve a particular shape.

There is no expectation that you need to be flexible, fit or experienced in yoga.

We begin where you are.

I believe people deserve to feel safe, seen and supported when they are working with their health and wellbeing.

My approach is informed by my training in trauma-sensitive yoga and my ongoing professional development in yoga therapy, women's health, cancer and palliative care, mental health, breathwork, meditation and other complementary practices.

I aim to create a space where you can explore practices without judgement and where your individual needs are respected.

You are always encouraged to listen to your own body and experience.

Yoga therapy can complement — rather than replace — medical and allied health care.

I welcome opportunities to work collaboratively with healthcare and allied health professionals where yoga therapy may be an appropriate addition to a person's existing care.

This may include working alongside:

• General Practitioners

• Physiotherapists

• Chiropractors

• Remedial Massage Therapists

• Naturopaths

• Acupuncturists

• Exercise Physiologists

• Psychologists

• Occupational Therapists

• Women's health professionals

• Oncology and cancer support professionals

• Other allied health and complementary health practitioners

My role is to work within my professional scope and provide personalised yoga therapy that complements the person's broader health and wellbeing goals.

Good care is collaborative.

Qualifications matter, but so does the person you are working with.

I'm naturally curious and continually learning. I love exploring the relationship between the body, breath, mind and the way we move through everyday life.

I'm also passionate about making yoga accessible to people who may not identify with a traditional yoga environment.

You don't have to look a certain way, move a certain way or have a particular level of fitness to benefit from yoga.

My role is not to tell you what your wellbeing should look like.

It is to listen, collaborate and offer practical tools that may support you in moving towards what matters to you.

A Little More About Angela

Outside of my work, I value the simple things that help us feel connected and grounded — time in nature, meaningful conversations, movement, creativity, rest and creating space to simply be.

These experiences continually remind me that wellbeing isn't something we achieve once and then maintain perfectly.

It changes.

And so do we.

That's why I love the adaptability of yoga therapy.

It can meet us in different seasons of life and change alongside us.

Let's Work Together

Whether you're looking for personalised support with stress, persistent pain, women's health, fatigue, recovery or a significant life transition, I'd love to hear from you.

We can begin with a conversation about what you're experiencing, what you'd like support with and whether yoga therapy may be an appropriate fit.

You don't need to know exactly what you need before reaching out.
