IGNITE YOUR DREAM
Angela Garcia on Reaching Your Personal Best
Movement has been one of the most important aspects of my self-care practice for as long as I can remember… but there was also a time where I used it as a weapon against myself.
Today’s guest, my own personal trainer, owner of the massively successful AG Fitness, professional dancer + trainer to Olympians, Angela Garcia has cultivated a lifestyle and a culture around helping us make the shift from exercise as a weapon to exercise as a life-long dedication practice to our bodies.
Sessions with Angela are like workout for the soul, and I’m so excited to share her wisdom, generosity and refreshing perspective with you today in hopes that it helps you find what lights you up and gets you moving that sweet body of yours as well.
