TESTIMONIALS

• “Val’s classes are a perfect blend of relaxation and movement and she encourages each student to find the space that they are most comfortable to practice in. She is extremely sensitive to beginners and the learning curve that comes when you first take to the mat, she makes everyone feel so welcome. If you are looking for a teacher to reenergize your body and refresh your soul, Val’s classes are the place to be.” Kate Halligan RYT 200 Media, PA
• “Yoga with Val is very different from the classes I’ve been to, where it can be all about the instructor’s ego or yoga as an aerobic workout.  Val focuses on breathing and moving to build strength. She tailors the class to her student’s needs.  Val is a natural teacher and is down to earth, funny and very welcoming.  Her Scottish accent is very soothing.” Rosemary Mullen, Broomall, PA
• “I would have to say that I enjoy Val’s classes because the yoga is mostly gentle and Val is never judgmental and always encourages us to listen to our bodies and follow that lead.  I really enjoy the feeling of doing something good for my body and not feeling pressured to push the limit.  I keep coming back because Val is so personable and knows how to put a person at ease. She treats people as if she has known them for ever. Plus, I love her Scottish accent.” Kathy Isdell, Newtown Square, PA
•  “I have been taking yoga on and off since college (that adds up to many years!) What I really enjoy with Val is the calm state that I can go into and remain in during the session.  Yoga with Val is a slower paced, mindful based session that is strenuous enough, yet comfortable to push different limits and build strength.  Val is great at making accommodations as needed, and her voice throughout the class, and especially for the meditation at the end, is wonderfully soothing!” Debbie Norris, Landenburg, PA
• “Everything said about Val is absolutely true. She is a magnificent teacher and was instrumental in helping me recover from a torn hamstring (not from her class) and encouraging me to listen to my body. Once I could return to yoga, she easily accommodated my special needs. Although her classes are called gentle, my core has been strengthened steadily. I have grown physically and spiritually under Val’s guidance.” Tisha Howe, Seattle WA
