Pilates helped Angeles Rios so much with her chronic back pain, she decided to get certified to teach Pilates at The Working Body and Turning Point Studios. As a life long learner and wanting to understand the body more, she went back to school to do a post-baccalaureate in biology at SFSU. During this time, she did basic science research in Physical Therapy at UCSF through a fellowship program at SFSU. Realizing her desire to practice a more holistic approach in her life and with her students, Angeles dove into yoga therapy and meditation. After years of practicing, she is now certified to teach IREST level 1 (a form of yoga nidra), yin yoga, and somatic yoga therapy. Not done learning and sharing her knowledge, Angeles is currently studying nutrition at Bauman College and writing a book on Better Sleep, Better Performance. She takes gratitude every day to be able to teach and share her passion for an integrative method for moving smarter, getting stronger, and feeling better.
