The body isn’t a temple. It is a home. I offer a practical and pragmatic approach to yoga, which helps to orient and organise the organic architecture of the body for optimal function and flow. Feeling at home in our bodies allows us to function better in the world.

Without leaving my house, I know the whole universe.

Kind Words

  • “Valerie taught me so much about my strengths and my weaknesses in my body. Her adjustments really helped identify my blindspots. Having worked privately with her I feel well so much more well adjusted in my life too!"

    EVA B.

  • “Valerie is a phenomenal yoga teacher with a huge amount of knowledge which she shares generously throughout her classes. After experiencing her classes, I feel taller, sleep better and look forward every week to the next practice. I would highly recommend her classes, workshops and 1-1 sessions to anyone looking to learn more about Katonah yoga and to practice with an experienced, enthusiastic and engaging yoga practitioner.”

  • "I took a workshop with Valerie and I must say I was blown away.. I'm a seasoned yogi and I loved the approach of her practice, the use of props, some were new and very interesting to open the body in new ways. The adjustments she gave were so good and her passion for teaching and the practice was felt deeply. Highly recommend Valerie."

  • "My yoga journey started with Valerie and I couldn't have found a better home in her gentle and respectful practice. She taught me to come back to my body, to rediscover the pieces of me I had forgotten and to learn about the one I haven't met. Forever grateful.”
