"The emphasis that Valerie places on yoga practice is the breath. The asanas 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’s devised has been realistic in scope and has provided wonderful physical and mental therapy during my tumultuous child-bearing years."
