Angela Quinn

Angela Quinn, Administrator, Alumni Education and Travel; Yoga Teacher 

Angela Quinn began studying the science of yoga in India in 2011, where she also began the practices of pranayama, pratyahara, kriya and meditation. Two additional trips to India furthered her yogic studies. She has a B.A. in international relations and affairs and a master’s in education. Before joining the University staff as lead yoga instructor for campus recreation, she taught yoga in the Princeton community for more than a decade.

She co-leads Princeton University’s Yoga and Meditation Fellowship and will facilitate yoga practices throughout this journey.

About the Journey 

In 2017, Princeton offered its first Yoga and Meditation Fellowship in India to students. Led by Vineet Chander, Assistant Dean of Hindu Life, and Angela Quinn, a beloved yoga teacher on campus, the fellowship engaged students in the study of yoga, discussions of philosophy, and transformational inner journeys in some of the most sacred and rejuvenating places in the world.

This December, Princeton Journeys is thrilled to bring this immersive fellowship experience to the alumni community. Join Vineet and Angela on a journey through the subcontinent, participating in daily yoga and meditation practices, transformative conversations, and visits to yoga ashrams and sacred spaces.

Explore Rishikesh, the yoga capital of the world, and stay at Govardhan Ecovillage, a retreat nestled in the Sahyadri Mountains where yogis from around the world gather to study. Travel to Udaipur, the dazzling ‘City of Lakes,’ and see the highlights of bustling Mumbai.

Please note: No prior experience is required, as all yoga sessions will be tailored to accommodate different skill levels.
