Valerie Velardi 

Valerie has been practicing Yoga since 1983 and is a Certified Iyengar Yoga Teacher.

As a child, she enjoyed all forms of movement. She received a Masters Degree in Dance Arts and danced and taught until 1983 when she found Iyengar Yoga. While remaining true to the methodology that continues to speak to her so vividly, she is committed  to finding fresh new ways to engage in my practice and to my teaching.  Her favorite Sutra, I:39, embraces an individual’s uniqueness allowing for the student to find their preferred focus for meditation. Her own yoga practice is enhanced by my passion for dancing, building Temples, and sharing a vibrant life with her children and grandchildren. She encourages her students to integrate their own life’s rich pageant into their yoga journey hoping to help them find yoga practices that best suit their temperaments.
