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.

I feel honored to be hosting my first solstice event on Sunday Dec 21, 5:15-6:30pm. This will be a gentle way to honor the season, soothe your nervous system, and reconnect with yourself during a busy time of year.

I will guide the first half with gentle Loo Movement counter-shapes, then certified sound practitioner Laura Moir will offer a calming sound healing with bowls, gongs, and chimes. Come rest, reset, and welcome the returning light.

Registration is open for the new Monday 5:15pm Techniques class starting January 12! 🎉

This small, semi-private class (only 4 students) is perfect for improving your alignment, learning Counter-shapes, and getting tons of personalized attention. Each month has its own focus, making it a great way to begin or deepen your Loo Movement journey.

Grab your spot while it’s open! Link in bio. And if it fills, hop on the waitlist, I sometimes add another class when there’s enough interest. 💛
