About your Teachers

Angelina Peterson loves to dance…always has…. When touched by the bellydance and yoga traditions, her life began to change. These ancient practices continue to sustain and empower her.

Angelina believes that spirituality is at the heart of bellydance and yoga. By connecting to the Divine, through the spiritual tool of our body, we connect to the Divine within: the Goddess Within.

Angelina has been teaching Hatha Yoga and bellydance from her studio in the Westholme Valley, Vancouver Island, since 1999. Her passion and enthusiasm for her spiritual practices shine through her teachings.

Erin Dragonsong is a certified Radha Yoga teacher* as well as a bellydance instructor. Radha Yoga is particularly well-suited for bellydancers, with its focus on the Divine Feminine and the Divine Within. It is also a gentle and respectful path that is based on the awareness of our bodies (and dance) as spiritual tools.
