I’m here to help expand your practice.

 Hi, my name is Valentina.

I am a certified Yoga Instructor and I’m here to guide you step by step through the process of starting and keeping a strong personal Yoga Practice and Fitness Lifestyle. 

But first, let me tell you a more about myself; After graduating college I moved to California for my very first job, I was excited for the opportunity and the company I was working for, but it didn’t take long for my excitement to go away, I was stuck in a 9-5 office job, sitting in front of a computer all day, stuck in the same routine and I wasn’t doing anything to fulfill my own personal desires, nor I had the time to do the things I wanted to do. Months went by and I slowly started seeing my body and mental health decay, I was depressed without knowing, I was ready for a change...

I felt my life was missing something, I felt trapped and lacking energy and motivation.

I decided to apply for a job at a yoga studio, and I was able to start practicing different styles of yoga. After endless hours of studying and practicing I began to understand the importance of connecting my mind, body and spirit. Later on I was able to join a Yoga Teacher Training where I learned so much more than I ever thought possible, realizing that this is what I wanted to dedicate my life to. Helping people all over the world learn and use yoga and fitness as a way to find strength, confidence, freedom and peace of mind. From that moment on I decided to dedicate my life to helping people by sharing my journey and my practice with them. I have dedicated so many hours to teaching group and private classes in different yoga studios and Country Clubs in the Coachella Valley, I also host yoga Hikes, outdoor yoga activities, and events, most likely you know me from taking a class with me and I am so grateful that you are here.

I was born and raised in Caracas, Venezuela. I moved to the U.S at the age of 17 to attend college in Pennsylvania graduating with a Bachelor's in ‘Communication Studies’.

From a young age I have been passionate about movement and self expression, with an extensive background in dance and gymnastics. I became a health and wellness advocate, dedicating my life to studying and sharing my knowledge and passion for yoga and fitness.

I obtained a 200 hour Yoga Teacher Certification with Desert Yoga Therapy in 2018. Deepening my studies with a ‘Yin Yoga’ Certification that guided me deeper into my own understandings of consciousness and self awareness. “Yoga has changed my life in many ways, making me more conscious of the powers we have to control our own thoughts and actions. When I teach, I strive for my students to feel comfortable, supported, and motivated to have a healthier and happier lifestyle”

I have participated in several yoga retreats, workshops, and classes, always deepening my practice and knowledge. I hold other certifications in Aerial Yoga, Acro Yoga, Matr Pilates, Barre, and Zumba. I am passionate about practicing and teaching different styles such as Vinyasa Flow, Yin Yoga, Chair Yoga, Restorative, Yoga Sculpt, Aerial yoga, Mat Pilates, Acro Yoga, Thai Stretch, and Meditation. As well as Dance and movement classes like Zumba, Water Aerobics, Dance Fusion and Ecstatic Dance.

For a while now I have been building my online Business working on having an online platform where you can access videos of different yoga and fitness classes and practice with me from the comfort of your home, to help you maintain peace of mind, a healthy, and strong body. Please join me in this journey towards achieving a healthier and active lifestyle.
