"Yoga is the best thing I do for myself. I've taken classes with Judith and her teachers. They are excellent, experienced teachers. I refer many of my patients who need more relaxation, flexibility or strength building." --Jane, Medical Doctor

Yoga Is….by Judith Valerie

Yoga is an ancient art and philosophy which evolved over thousands of years in India. It is a practice of awareness training, personal development, healing, and transformation. The Sanskrit word “yoga” means to join, bond, or unite. Yoga unites the body and mind bringing harmony and well-being. Yoga strengthens our sense of unity with nature, other people, and vital life in all its many forms. Ultimately, yoga is a journey which enables us to remember, recognize and realize our individual self as being united with God.

Yoga was brought to the United States just a little over a hundred years ago. The most prevalent aspect of yoga to become popularized in the west is hatha yoga. It includes physical poses or postures called asana and breathing exercises called pranayama. Hatha yoga purifies, strengthens and balances the body and mind. It also enables us to become more relaxed, centered, contemplative, tranquil, intuitive, creative and connected to our own sense of spirituality.

Finding a compatible yoga teacher can be quite an exploration! Choosing a teacher is an opportunity to experience what is being offered and listen deeply to how your body, mind, emotions and spirit resonate. In selecting a teacher, ask friends for recommendations, read website information, talk with the teacher on the phone to get a sense of her and to ask any questions about her teaching, qualifications, particular focus or expertise. Then try it and see.

JV’s Yoga is an eclectic blend of decades of styles and teachers Judith has studied with since 1977. These include Iyengar yoga, her first twelve years, Ashtanga yoga, for her first residential teacher training program, classical yoga from several month long stays at yoga ashrams, and Integral yoga. Judith was certified at the 200 hour and 500 hour professional levels of teacher trainings by Kripalu Yoga Center. She has also enjoyed explorations with Angela Farmer and Victor van Kooten for a month in Molivos, Greece, Betsy Dowell and Lila Pierce in the Anusara tradition, and Yoga for Osteoporosis Prevention Studies and training with Nirmala Limaye, M.D., and Kay Hawkins.
