"I've taken Val's Zoom classes, both private and group, and can't recommend them enough. Her calm, clear, skilled approach is just what I needed to get back into yoga. I had specific goals of boosting mobility and strength while being mindful of my body's limitations, and was able to communicate this in the online questionnaire. From then on, Val incorporates moves that I can tell are tailor-made just for me. Her descriptions and phrases are so well thought-out, and there is a wonderful flow to the whole experience. I also enjoy being able to try different props (that don't need to be purchased!).Teaching is not easy through a screen, and yet I feel that she is right there with me. During the private class she checks in on how I'm feeling, and makes helpful suggestions if needed. After the group class we always have the chance to ask questions or give feedback. Val is a natural-born teacher who truly cares about her students; it comes across in the moment, and even in her follow-up email when the class is over. I feel very fortunate to practice and learn with Val!! "

"No more having to watch a yoga instructor who folds themselves in ways that I can only aspire to. Val is an instructor for *real* people who has the knowledge and compassion to help you reap the benefits of yoga: improved strength, reduced pain, and brighter moods (among countless others). She understands the constraints of a busy life and helps make yoga accessible - both physically and from a scheduling perspective. From bite-sized 5 minute videos to "typical" full length classes, you *can* actually create a regular practice without the extra stress of trying to cram it all into an already busy day. When I sprained my ankle, Val had a wealth of ideas for physical modifications to allow me to continue regularly moving without aggravating my injury, which, to anyone who knows what a bummer it is to be injured, was an emotional godsend to have someone's support and care in this way. My kids request the sleep videos before bed - and us adults enjoy them, too, as they are a great way to calm our minds and bodies to prepare for rest. Val's sweet, caring, and giving heart is always on full display and uplifting both physically and emotionally. She is a fantastic instructor that I would recommend to anyone wholeheartedly."

"Val led me through a flow class that was the perfect reset. She gently adjusted my poses that allowed me immediately to feel simultaneously more relaxed and a deeper stretch. Can't wait until my next class with this lovely human!"
