"I am happy that this course takes 2 and a half years to complete because it takes time to integrate the teachings into daily life and it is through consistent practice that inner transformations are able to take place. It also requires discipline and commitment to stay on the path of yoga. As this is a comprehensive course that includes the in-depth study of the various tools of yoga, I feel well equipped to begin my journey of helping others through the work of yoga."Siew Cheng Koh (2012 Teacher Training Course, Malaysia - Singapore)
"Overall, I would say that it is a great experience not just for people who want to become yoga teachers, but for anyone who wants to go deeper in life. It has been a fascinating journey of blossoming and growth. I am very grateful." Natalia Bruchilari (2012 Teacher Training Course, Argentina - Singapore)
"This program provides the solid skills to become a good yoga teacher. The duration of the training is a strong point: I can notice and feel the difference between the moment I started the course and now. it has been the most fulfilling and spiritually enriching period in my life. I also feel more confident to teach." Angelique Allain (2012 Teacher Training Course, France - Singapore)
"The emphasis that Valerie places on yoga practice is the breath. The asana-s that we do are relatively straight-forward but coupled with the breath control, they become very powerful. At the end of a yoga session you come away feeling stress free and feeling connected to your inner self. Valerie's style and guidance is such that you take responsibility for yourself."
Karl Wischki, Singapore.
"I began taking yoga classes on a Tuesday evening, and came to discover that I slept much better those nights, and woke a happier, more relaxed person....This was the beginning of an ever-evolving journey for me, as my yoga practice takes over a greater role in my life. Now (after seven years), I can feel the effects of my practice at every moment: I have more energy, I am able to relax more fully, I am calmer, steadier and mentally more clear than ever. I do not feel stress, and I can touch joy on a newer, higher level because little can shake me."
Kara Smith, Dubai
"I took up yoga after a health crisis and tried a number of instructors before meeting Valerie. Working with her yoga practice has helped me to internalize breathing and calming techniques and made me feel more in tune with my body."
Alison Cannon, Singapore.
"I have attended classes and had sessions with many different teachers but yoga with Valerie was a very different and more rewarding experience. The class moves at a pleasant, not hurried pace, the students are encouraged to breathe into and feel the postures and Valerie gives every student her care and attention. A class with her is joyously uplifting."
Neil Riley, Holistic Living, Singapore
"Valerie has helped me come full circle more than once, first concentrating on postnatal and core strengthening, then emphasizing stress management, followed by prenatal exercises and childbirth preparation, and once again postnatal recovery. Every practice she devised has been realistic in scope and has provided wonderful physical and mental therapy during my tumultuous child-bearing years."
