Approach

Valerie teaches all levels of yoga from new beginner to very advanced, from the novice student to teachers in training. Her passion is with the new beginner, though. She believes that, if we can approach the mat with a humble mind and surrender the body and soul at every practice, we can find the elation of our very first class with every practice—whether we are teaching or being taught.  A class of 5 or a class of 50, Valerie teaches yoga to the individual, so that every student may experience the sweetness that each posture (asana) has to bare. Following the Krishnamacharya lineage, she believes the asana should be modified to benefit the student, not mold the student to fit the asana. We are all unique manifestations of the Divine. Valerie approaches each class, each session, with the intention of connecting to the light within!
