Angelina Cilella

Angelina Cilella is a yoga instructor and licensed massage therapist with a deep reverence for the body’s innate intelligence. Her journey began in Western medicine, working as a surgeon’s assistant, where she witnessed both the miracles and limitations of modern healthcare. This experience ignited her curiosity about the intersection of physical trauma, emotional imprint, and the body’s capacity to heal, guiding her toward more integrative paths.

For the past eight years, Angelina has taught yoga with a focus on breath, movement, and embodied awareness, continually exploring how body expression is tied to emotion through dance movement therapy. Her commitment to holistic healing led her to direct a mind health clinic and yoga studio in Chicago, where she wove together Eastern and Western modalities to support whole-person wellness.

As a former Lululemon Resident in Chicago, she facilitated body-based practices that emphasized subtle awareness, self-inquiry, and the emotional undercurrents of movement. Now a licensed massage therapist, Angelina integrates therapeutic touch with her understanding of anatomy, energy, and emotion. Her work invites students and clients alike to reconnect with their bodies, release stored tension, and reclaim a sense of presence and empowerment.

In every space she holds, Angelina hopes her students feel safe, seen, and deeply supported—free to move at their own pace, listen inwardly, and return home to themselves.
