Volunteer in Action: Angela Rodriguez

I have known Angela for a few years and was happy to see her as a presenter at the National Association for Down Syndrome (NADS) Conference in the summer of 2018. At the conference Angela taught teens and adults with Down Syndrome a Yoga Fundamentals classes. She also gave participants their own yoga mats! Angela taught students how to link breath with flowing movements emphasizing postural muscles and balance. Each student also went home with a simple visual guide to practice at home, and a yoga mat that Angela donated from a gofundme fundraiser.
I attended the presentation by Angela and when I approached her to be a program leader at GiGi’s Playhouse Fox Valley she enthusiastically said yes!
Angela holds a BS in Kinesiology from University of Illinois, an American College of Sports Medicine Certified Exercise Physiologist, an American Council on Exercise Certified Health Coach, Rainbow Yoga Certified, and also will be 200-hour Yoga Teacher Trained. We look forward to having Angela as a program leader for Friends, Fun & Fitness.
