The professional quality of instructions offered on Judith's Zoom classes is wonderful! Each time I take a class with Judith there is at least one moment during class where I feel so good and so grateful to have a body. Her teaching methods are exceptional in how she creates a space in class that fosters a positive inner-dialogue between my thoughts and my body's abilities. Even during the more rigorous poses there is a language of kindness and gentleness that comes through Judith's clear and concise instructions. She is a masterful teacher.

I never would have thought to try yoga on Zoom but when Judith's class went virtual almost 2 years ago, I followed her eagerly. Judith is a wonderful teacher and being at home at the end of a session means I don't have to drive home with my totally relaxed jello body. Sharing a yoga prayer at the end of each session is icing on the cake. Namaste.

I have been taking Yoga with Judith Valerie for a few years now and have been very happy. I have essentially learned allot about yoga from Judith who compliments yoga with meditation. I think that many yoga class classes can lead you through the motions but Judith guides you through good form and pays individual attention to what your body needs. The session environment flows in such a peaceful manner that allows you to get totally immersed in the experience. I recommend her classes.

I've been fortunate to attend Judith's yoga classes for the last 6 years - the last year via ZOOM. Judith makes yoga challenging, yet fun :-. She is always responsive to our individual needs, helping us through any sore spots. I look forward to yoga each week - it keeps me going!
