THE TEACHER
VALERIE
I was born in France and I've been living in Greece for the past two
decades. I speak Greek, French and English fluently.
I've been teaching Yoga for 18 years.
I am an ERYT 500 Hatha Yoga & Yoga Nidra Teacher as well as a
Life Coach & the author of "Yoga Nidra - The sleep that wakes
you up" published by Kedros (only in Greek for the moment).
I believe that Yoga is for "every-body" and that the postures are not mere physical exercises but a holistic practice that works on the physical, emotional and mental levels.
Free soul and explorer, I have learned different styles of yoga and techniques (Hatha Yoga - Yoga Nidra - Life Coaching - Mindfulness) which help me bridge Eastern philosophy and the Western way of life.
Yoga has integrated itself into my life and is now a part of who I am.
I will be happy to guide you in an exploration journey which will enhance your sense of balance, strength and peace.
Trainings
My acquaintance with Yoga started in 1993 in France, with the Satyananda Yoga system.
In 2004 I traveled to London, where I attended a full 300 hour teacher training program for two years. At the same time, I attended lectures and meditation classes at the Brahma Kumaris University branch.
In 2007 I obtained the 200 hours Yoga Alliance diploma.
I trained in Yoga Nidra with Swami Madhurananda, a member of Vishwa Yoga Samsad and International Advisors & Director of the Ayurvedic & Contemporary Sciences.
I am today an RYT 500 Yoga Teacher, Member of the Yoga Alliance.
