Angela Del Franco

Originating from Toronto, Angela trained as a dancer from a very young age in classical ballet and other forms of dance to professional level at the Toronto Dance Theater. She was awarded a scholarship at the Martha Graham School of Contemporary Dance in 1996. Throughout she has been studying different forms of movement methods, alongside yoga and Pilates with many inspiring teachers and in 2003 completing her instructor training at the Pilates Institute, she soon was teaching dance, Pilates and Yoga in many UK fitness clubs around London.

Her experience reached a new level she gave birth to her first daughter giving her the opportunity to expand her knowledge to include mother and baby. She enrolled herself at the internationally acclaimed Birthlight for Prenatal Yoga and Baby Yoga studying with the founder Françoise Barbira-Freedman.
On her return to Canada she just completed her Yogakids foundation course with Marsha Wenig at the Pilates/Yoga conference in 2008/09 understanding the importance of exercise while maintaining a level of excitement to keep the kids and teens classes fun and educational.
Angela has been blessed with teachers, dancers, musicians, friends and family. They have all played a part to inspire her to continue her expression in movement possibilities for all ages.
Angela is now a mother of two and is living in Burlington Ontario and is a recent graduate of The Yoga Centre of Burlington.
