From Passion to Purpose: The Story of Our Founder
Angela Pantaleon’s diverse background is deeply rooted in her lifelong dedication to the arts, including Classical Ballet, Jazz, and Modern dance. In addition to her dance training, she devoted over 12 years to the disciplined practice of traditional Japanese Karate. Her love for the arts and the pursuit of discipline naturally led her to Ashtanga Yoga, which opened the door to other transformative styles such as Hatha, Gentle, and Vinyasa Yoga. Through these practices, Angela cultivated a profound awareness of breathwork, meditation, Yin Yoga, and Myofascial release techniques.
With extensive knowledge in Yoga Anatomy, skeletal variations, and Pranayama (breath control), Angela empowers both students and future teachers to develop strong, sustainable practices that support long-term health, vitality, and healing.
Angela’s journey has been shaped by the mentorship of highly acclaimed master teachers, as well as time spent in monasteries across Europe and the United States, where she deepened her understanding of the Art of Mindfulness.
In addition to her movement expertise, Angela is a seasoned Aesthetician, licensed in Florida for nearly three decades. Her extensive training in organic and advanced skincare treatments has allowed her to specialize in promoting radiant, natural beauty. Angela has practiced in some of the finest spas throughout the U.S., Europe, and Brazil, earning a reputation for excellence and a steadfast commitment to holistic care.
Angela’s work has been recognized with awards such as Best Single Aesthetician and Best Green Spa in South and Central Florida, and she has been featured in the Spa Association Magazine. Through Wisdom Wellness, Angela’s mission remains clear: to provide her clients and students with healthy, organic solutions for a balanced and vibrant lifestyle, encouraging each person to “honor their inner essence, so they can shine from within.
