Valerie's journey has always been one of health and fitness and she has a strong background in many facets of the health industry beginning as early as 1985. As soon as she found Yoga, it became her heart's ambition to teach it and enhance the lives of others with this practice as much as yoga has blessed her own life. She began her full time teaching career with children's yoga and with the faculty and staff of Alvin Independent School District on a therapeutic, gentle approach. Her training has come from several different styles of vinyasa Yoga but primarily from John Friend's Anusara Yoga. Valerie has come into the community of Sundance to teach and share the beauty of yoga, and all that it reveals to us, all that it reveals within us, one beautiful moment at a time.
