Valerie

Valerie came to yoga in 2000 when her osteopath suggested she try

yoga to help her scoliosis. Jeanne was her first teacher :).

Over the years, Valerie has continued to explore different practices,

including Ashtanga for many years.

In 2012, Valerie started her Hatha teacher training at Naada Yoga in

Montreal with some renowned teachers and furthered her training in

Yoga for Scoliosis (Elise Miller), Restorative Yoga (Judith Lasater) and

Yoga for Kids and Teens (Sivananda).

She has over 1000hrs in yoga and meditation training.

She encourages her students to feel good in their body as they

practice and to let the pose adjust itself to the body instead of forcing

the body into the pose. Eventually both will connect.

She also holds a life coaching certification from Concordia University

and incorporates her coaching into her yoga teachings (and vice versa)

Yoga is not just on your mat, it is a way of life.
