Stella Valente

She will always give a modification if the pose is tricky for a wrist or knee or back issue - always; she's very conscientious about people's potential injuries. And one of my favorite parts about her teaching, is her understanding of yoga as a physical/mental/spiritual practice. Her head is not in the clouds, but she's also super clear about how yoga can elevate our life. She is very fun and funny about the sometimes obvious and often subtle parallels between how we approach yoga and how everyday situations presents themselves in our day-to-day existence. I can't say enough good things about her. Studying with her over the past several years has absolutely changed my life. She is wonderful.
