Loo Movement

Loo Movement A Physical Therapist-informed blend of Qigong, Yoga, and Pilates for restoring optimal alignment.

As a trained physical therapist for over 20 years, and a certified instructor of yoga, qigong, and Pilates, and trained in hypnotherapy and reiki, it goes without saying, the body has always been Valerie’s passion. She’s a continual explorer of movement, present-time awareness, and the unification of body and mind. Valerie is passionate about approaching the body holistically and is fascinated by the intersection of where science meets spirituality, east meets west, and problem-solving meets intuition.
