Val also holds a M.Ed. in Curriculum in Instruction from the University of Montana. Outside of teaching, Val loves to spend time with her family playing in the woods.
Val shares: "I am a mom, a partner, and a yogi. I love everything related to the outdoors, eating well, connecting with friends, and growing as a parent. Yoga is a practice that I come back to daily to help manage anxiety and life's ebbs and flows.
Some days I focus on my breathing or pranayama, other times I meditate. Sometimes I build heat with vinyasa or powerful movements, or I'll settle into stillness with yin or deep stretching. Sometimes I do it all. Regardless of HOW I practice, yoga always shifts my energy and grounds me back to self. It gives me strength, stamina, a sense of purpose, and balance. This is the power of yoga that I love to share with others! I welcome you to join me in group classes, private sessions, or workshops."
Highlights from this conversation with Val include:
What is Yin Yoga? The physical goal of getting into a stretch and staying in the sensation, cultivating the ability to BE with. Balancing the energy of DO'ing (yang) with yin, the ability to step away from the DO'ing and connecting to the feeling/BEing with what is. How yin can help you settle into stillness, discomfort and awareness of what IS happening in the present moment. Resistance is the pose can be an opportuinty to BE with or continue resisting, we always have the choice. Yin as a tool for personal empowerment of awareness of what is happening internally. Integrating Yin yoga with Internal Family Systems work. And more... You can support this podcast by:
