Hi Angel, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
Hello World! My name is Angel, and I am a Soulfirmation Yoga teacher, spiritual guide, and founder of Yoga Ave, a wellness and spiritual lifestyle brand rooted in elevation, alignment, and inner transformation. My journey into this work wasn’t something I planned it was something I was called into through one of the most profound experiences of my life: the loss of my only child by suicide. That moment cracked me open in ways I couldn’t ignore. I was faced with a choice to stay in the pain or to begin the journey of healing, understanding, and reconnecting with myself on a deeper level.
What started as a desire to simply feel better, became a full spiritual awakening. I immersed myself in yoga, meditation, breathwork, energy healing, and spiritual study of all things esoteric but not just to learn, but to survive, to heal, and eventually to evolve.
Through that process, I created Soulfirmation Yoga, a unique practice that blends intentional movement, breathwork, and spoken affirmations to help people reconnect with their bodies, regulate their nervous system, and reprogram the way they speak to themselves. It’s more than yoga it’s a return home to self.
Today, I offer one-on-one sessions, group classes, corporate wellness experiences, and transformational events. I facilitate retreats focused on helping people on their spiritual journey. I partner with many other wellness facilitators locally and globally to host and facilitate Wellness Events all year long! My husband, is Derek Taylor, also known as Shaman Rah, a globally known and respected Shaman who facilitates sound healing, meditation, coaching & retreats. Together, we create spaces where people can release, realign, and remember who they truly are. My mission is to help people heal themselves not become dependent on me, but to awaken their own power, awareness, and ability to feel whole again. I meet people where they are, because I’ve been in the depths myself, and I understand what it takes to rise. Everything I create is rooted in authenticity, lived experience, and the belief that healing is not something we chase it’s something we become.

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
It definitely hasn’t been a smooth road it’s been a journey of breaking, rebuilding, and becoming. One of the biggest challenges I’ve faced was the loss of my only child Isaiah Syncere Jackson who ended his life by suicide. That experience shifted everything in my life! There were moments where I felt lost, disconnected, and unsure of how to move forward. I was angry with God and I couldn’t find solace with knowing my heart hurted so badly. Grief isn’t linear, and it doesn’t come with a guide, it forces you to either shut down or go deeper within yourself. Another major turning point was my business journey. I originally started Yoga Ave with a business partner a very close friend , & we made the decision to part ways. That transition was deeply emotional for me. It felt like another form of loss. We had built something meaningful together, and she was a big part of the foundation of the brand. After we separated, I spent a couple of years healing from that experience and questioning everything like whether I should rebrand, start over completely, or even continue at all! I had so much invested financially, emotionally & couldn’t see past the current situation. There were moments I couldn’t see Yoga Ave without her. I took that time during healing to invest into learning more about yoga and eventually going to Bali where I lived and learned varied systems of yoga & how to instruct a yoga class. At the same time, stepping into this work required me to truly face myself. Learning how to be authentic, speak my truth, and not shrink to keep others comfortable has been one of my greatest challenges. I’ve had to move through self doubt, fear, and the pressure of building something meaningful while still healing in real time! It was lots of tears, nervous system break downs and just trying to live and find peace of mind! I had to learn to balance life like when I couldn’t find a reason to keep going what was going to drive me? I was very angry at God for a while when I was in my darkness I asked how could God let me experience such heart ache and still want me to show up in this life. I’m like just take me outta here!!! I had to figure out how to give to others without abandoning myself. As someone who genuinely wants to help people, I had to understand that my role isn’t to carry others, but to guide them back to their own power.
But every challenge shaped me. It deepened my compassion, strengthened my voice, and clarified my purpose. What once felt like my breaking point became the very foundation of my work.
So no, it hasn’t been smooth but it’s been purposeful. And today, I stand in my work with a deeper sense of ownership, authenticity, and alignment more than ever before!

Thanks – so what else should our readers know about Yoga Ave (ALL VIBES ELEVATED)?
Yoga Ave is more than a wellness brand it’s a spiritual lifestyle movement rooted in elevation, transformation, and intentional living. “AVE” stands for All Vibes Elevated, and that philosophy is woven into everything I create. None of this would be possible without God! My journey is a true testament to God’s grace! What began as belief has transformed into knowing, as I’ve witnessed my own life shift from darkness into light. Through my healing from grief, pain, hurt, alcoholism, embodiment, & life’s trials and tribulations, I’ve come to understand that I’ve been given a gift, my voice, my awareness, and a deep understanding of energy and the body not just for myself, but to be in service to others. I’ve studied and practiced powerful spiritual tools, including sacred prayers such as the Hebrew prayer Ana B’Koach, which supported me in my own healing and awakening. Kemetic Yoga which gave me a better foundation to be rooted in learning how to move energy thru the body. I’m truly humbled, and it is both an honor and a privilege to do God’s work through the way I serve every day.
Through Yoga Ave, I offer one-on-one sessions, group classes, corporate wellness experiences, and immersive workshops designed to support the full spectrum of healing mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual. While I am trained in multiple styles of yoga, I use two systems Hatha Yoga & Kemetic Yoga (Egyptian Yoga) respectively. I combined these two systems to create my program which is  about aligning the body, breath, and energy so we can come back into harmony with ourselves. Through movement, breathwork, and what I call Soulfirmations, I help people move energy, release what’s been stored in the body, and reconnect to their own power. My intention is simply “guiding people back home to themselves”.
What truly sets my work apart is the integration of deeper spiritual practices, including my work as a certified teacher of The Violet Flame Karmic Alchemy. I specialize in helping individuals clear and dissolve karmic patterns through meditation, affirmations, and intentional movement. By combining voice, breath, and the body, I guide people through experiences that allow energy to move, release, and recalibrate creating space for real transformation.
I also offer weekly online classes through the Skool & Zoom platforms for those committed to their healing journey. I extend my teachings through audio experiences available on all streaming platforms, including Apple and Spotify, where I share guided meditations and affirmations specifically Titled “Violet Flame Guided Meditation” & “From Grief to Joy” under the name Angel Hull-Taylor. In addition, I co-host the Awakening Cosmic Souls Podcast, which is on all streaming platforms including Audible, iHeart, Spotify, Apple etc. It’s where my husband & I explore spiritual growth, consciousness, and what it means to live in alignment in today’s New Earth World alongside guests on the journey as well.
Creatively, I’m always evolving and allowing the brand to move with me. One expression of that is through intentional product drops. My current collection, Sekhmet Sovereign Wear, was created during a deeply personal period of spiritual initiation. Each garment is infused with prayer and heart-centered frequency, designed to make the wearer feel empowered, sacred, and sovereign in their own journey. This collection reflects my shift away from traditional fashion and into creating pieces with purpose, garments that hold energy, intention, and meaning. Once a collection is complete, I allow it to close and evolve into something new.
What I’m most proud of, brand-wise, is the evolution of Yoga Ave itself. It has transformed alongside me, from its original foundation of putting on events and offering stylish clothes into something more aligned, intentional, and spiritually grounded. Choosing to continue and rebuild the brand allowed me to step fully into my voice, my vision, and my purpose.
At its core, Yoga Ave is about helping people come home to their Divine selves. It’s not about perfection, it’s about awareness, healing, and elevation. I want readers to know that this work meets you where you are but it also reminds you of who you truly are, Divine Beings!

Over the last 2 years I’ve been learning Hebrew and Powerful Prayers that assist me in life. Changing my environment by traveling out of the country at times is very helpful as well!
