Founder of Studio-be, Valerie has practiced yoga since her teens, focusing on the study of Iyengar yoga since 1995, and teaching since 1998, with certification in 2004. Since then, she has travelled to India for five month-long study trips to learn directly from the Iyengar family at Ramamani Iyengar Memorial Yoga Institute (RIMYI) in Pune. She has studied directly over years with Wende Davis, Louie Ettling, Gioia Irwin, Ingelise Nherlan and Faeq Biria. Her yoga teaching is informed by training as an RN, by two decades as a freelance graphic designer of books, and by meditation practice. She encourages each student to reach steadily for emotional balance, intelligent movement, and maturity through the practice of yoga, and is committed to helping students progress in a nurturing learning environment.
