Angie’s passion for yoga began in Germany during her studies. What started as an irregular hobby evolved into a daily practice and a deeper understanding that yoga is more than just a physical exercise. During her first year living in Sri Lanka, she realized that yoga can take many forms—from short meditations and strong Ashtanga practices to embodied movement, conscious walks on the beach, and the way you interact with others. For Angie, yoga is an approach to living.
Her dedication to creating a space for remarkable teachers to guide people from all over the world drives her daily commitment to running the studio. A certified yoga instructor with 400 hours of training, you might meet her on the mat in the slow season months, holding space for you herself.
Originally from Germany, Angie fell in love with both Rihan, her husband, and the beauty of Sri Lanka. Together, they run Stay Golden, dedicated to creating memorable experiences for their guests.
