After years of collaborating with Luna Ray, Valerie is excited to be co-teaching with Luna at Love Shine Play this year. Valerie seeks to create a soulful class inspired by her deep love of movement, mindful awareness of breath, yogic philosophy, music, and embodied bhakti, all unfolding together in the form of moving meditation.

Valerie is a 500 ERYT and Continuing Ed provider with Yoga Alliance. She is the owner of Neighborhood Yoga in Boone, where she has led a 200 YTT program there for the past 17 years.  Valerie loves traveling the world through the lens of yoga, both as a teacher and a life-long student.
