About Us

Angela Tara Hsu

Angela began practicing yoga just as a means to complement her skydiving career. Competing in the discipline of freestyle (which is like dancing and acrobatics in the sky), flexibility and strength helped to create interesting and dynamic movement for competition routines.

However, yoga became much more than just an aid to reach her skydiving goals. In addition to the physicality of the practice – the mental and spiritual benefits quickly came to light – and became an integral part of her life.Completing her first YTT in 2011, she has since accumulated well over 6,000 hours of teaching. She is a featured yogi in the documentary Why We Breathe, a Lululemon Legacy Ambassador, and was also featured in ORIGIN Magazine as part of their “Women who eat impossible for breakfast” series.In addition to teaching yoga, Angela is a certified Reiki Master and sound healing practitioner. As a result, her teaching style is an alchemy of her experience, modalities, and ongoing education to create uniquely nourishing experiences for all.

She offers a wide range of classes, workshops, and trainings accessible to everyone – incorporating various styles of yoga, Reiki, myofascial release, sound healing, meditation, breath work, and more.

Macarena Gallardo

Macarena began practicing yoga years ago when she realized that working multiple jobs and going to school full-time was taking a toll on her mind and body. Living in such a “go go go” society and making it hard to slow down, she experienced intense emotional distress.

The solutions offered to these issues were just band-aids to overcome the situation. That’s when she was introduced to yoga. She quickly figured out that slowing down wasn’t a bad thing, and it didn’t equate to being lazy or something being wrong. Taking care of her whole self – mind, body, and spirit – was now her priority. Yoga was a moving meditation that allowed the movement of the body with the breath and the quietude of the mind to all intersect. She started off practicing in the Ashtanga lineage, which brought some structure to her life and familiarity. She became certified at the 200-hour level in the spring of 2012. She later completed certifications in Hot Yoga (flow-less sequencing) and Hands On Assists with Hot Asana Yoga University, as well as Yin Yoga, Restorative, Y12SR (Yoga for 12 Step Recovery), Prenatal/Postpartum Yoga, and Yoga for athletes. After moving to New York, she continued her training with YogaWorks and completed an extra 500 hours of training. Macarena is also a Reiki practitioner levels I & Usui/Holy Fire III level II and a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, really bringing her two worlds of passion together, on and off the mat.

Her classes are filled with life experiences, ongoing education, lots of love, and some challenges, suitable for those who have never stepped on a yoga mat and the seasoned practitioners looking to deepen their practice. To learn more about Macky, find her on Instagram: @macarena.mft
