About Your Teacher:
Val’s yoga journey began in 2016 with a profound sense that something was missing in her life. She started attending classes with Audrey Bell-Hiller & quickly found her mentor & dear friend. Val was certified as a 300 hour teacher in 2019 by the YAA. In 2020 she earned her 500 hour certification with Melanie Cheknita at Yoga Within. Her curiosity about her own pelvic floor health led to earning her PF certification with Shelly Prosko in 2022. Val’s unique Pelvic Floor Yoga classes have been endorsed by several pelvic floor physiotherapists in Edmonton. Since moving to Cochrane in the fall of 2023, she also teaches weekly Hatha classes online for her dedicated students in Edmonton. Val credits her yoga journey & practice for the many positive changes she has experienced with her own mental & emotional health. She is eternally grateful to all of her teachers who have shared their experience & wisdom, and for their continued guidance on this path.
These classes will combine breath awareness and pelvic floor exercises combined with asana to help pelvic floor & core function. They will assist you in improving your awareness & connection to the pelvic floor and how it assists us during movement and daily life.
Please bring props such as a chip foam block, 2 Yoga blocks, a blanket & yoga strap or a belt.

Although not mandatory, it's a much better class for both you and the teacher if you turn your camera on. You will need a space to place your yoga mat and your camera set up on the long side of your mat, back far enough that you can be seen both standing and sitting, with sufficient light in front of you and no light or windows behind you if possible. If these parameters aren’t possible, just do your best.  Have props/water handy as well and try to arrange to not be interrupted.
When attending online classes we want you to listen to your body and if something seems inappropriate for you to do, please don’t. You can cease the activity, modify the position, or return to your breath until it feels safe and appropriate for you to continue. Please see the Terms & Conditions page to read the waiver you will need to agree to in order to register for this class.
