Angela Vroom
was born and raised in New Hampshire. From an early age, she displayed a fierce curiosity and desire to pursue diverse paths of creativity, expression, and enquiry. After studying at Emerson and Harvard, she spent time teaching Shakespearean language and performance workshops in Boston and the surrounding suburbs.
Upon relocating to Los Angeles, she began teaching art, yoga, and dramatic play for elementary school students. Her experiences as a meditator and love of teaching led naturally to a desire to combine those two elements of her life.
For four years she studied meditation and the Veda (the 5,000 year old body of wisdom and source of yoga and Ayurvedic Medicine) with Thom Knoles -- a forty year veteran teacher, widely regarded as one of the world's pre-eminent experts on meditation and Vedic philosophy. Her studies continued while traveling in India and culminated in an intensive residential training program with Thom in Flagstaff, Arizona. She is passionate about sharing the joy of meditation with everyone, anywhere who has the curiosity and desire to learn ...
"I count learning to meditate in the Vedic Tradition as one of the best decisions of my life. I have been meditating for almost two years now and am astonished at the benefits that I've received since learning with Angie. I am calmer, stronger, more resilient, and most importantly more present. I have found meditation to be an immensely powerful tool to improve my mind and my life.
Angie is a brilliant and warm teacher who can speak to all parts of your meditating experience. I can’t speak highly enough of learning with her."

“Meditation was something that always seemed a bit daunting to me. But learning from Angie helped me to see how this wonderful and effortless practice could fit into my daily life in a very tangible and meaningful way. She really nurtured my learning process and demystified the whole thing. The knowledge that she has and the wisdom she's gained from her travel and experience is extraordinary.”

“Every time I meditate it feels like I'm pressing the 'reset button'. This daily practice releases the stress I've stored up in my life and as a result, I am better able to adapt to any given situation. This practice is so simple, so effortless, that it can help anyone, even those of us with over-active minds. Angie has provided me with an incredible gift, and I will continue to thank her for the rest of my life.”

“In my day-to-day life, I can feel a deeper experience of centeredness and attunement to the pulse of the earth. It’s as though I am rediscovering gravity and can more accurately sense what is heavy enough to last and what is light enough to let go of. That kind of reprioritizing has been invaluable for me; I can feel myself letting go of obsessive thoughts more easily than I ever have before.
I feel more myself than I ever have.
Learning from Angie was a gift. She is a supremely intelligent and gentle spirit, and her honest teaching style made me feel safe, valued and curious not only about meditation but also about myself -- and that is truly invaluable.”
Kate - New York, NY
“The positive effects that meditation has had in my life are immeasurable. I am stronger, calmer and more centered in every possible way; physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Angie is the most caring, patient teacher imaginable, always ready and willing to answer all questions and address any concerns I may have. I count my blessings everyday that I have Angie in my life and I am eternally grateful to her for bestowing upon me the beautiful and enduring gift of meditation.”
Stephanie - Los Angeles, CA
“Angie made it easy for me to understand the basic techniques of meditation as well as the more abstract concepts. She works as a guide, allowing you the space to make the practice your own."
David - Los Angeles, CA
“Angie's approach to meditation makes the whole process undeniable. I can't imagine meditation not being part of my daily ritual. Angie remains a positive & nurturing constant in my life and a friend.”
