Valerie Egan
Arts Administrator, Writer, Yoga Teacher & Visual Artist of Portland, Oregon
certified yoga teacher
I have practiced hatha and kundalini yoga since 1998, and have meditated daily since 2018. Over the years my practice has shifted - from the physical vigor and performance of vinyasa, power, and hot asana, to an inner appreciation and yearning for the community, philosophy and ancient wisdom transmitted through this form of moving meditation. Yoga is a simple but powerful tool to build and nurture our mind-body connection, clearing our channels to receive the wisdom of our intuition. I humbly guide practices to re-discover the center, and to re-connect with Self.
