Valorie Moore is a local mom of 3 incredible kiddos she shares with her husband Jon, and a passionate Yoga Teacher. Valorie completed her 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training in NYC at PURE Yoga, where she had the privilege of studying with master teachers Kay Kay Clivio, Yogi Charu, Iyengar teacher Adam Vitolo and Yoga Therapist Dana Slamp. Since graduating the program in 2012, Valorie has completed numerous other trainings including a 100 hour mentorship with Dana Slamp of the Prema Yoga Therapy Institute, and a 300 hour Yoga Teacher Training with Matt Giordano, among others. Valorie’s training and class offerings include Hot Power Vinyasa, Ashtanga Vinyasa, Slow Flow, Yin, Restorative, Chromatic, Prenatal & Postnatal, and Yoga Therapy. Valorie has been teaching children’s Yoga since 2012 as well, with training from Karma Kids Yoga. As a former dancer, she first began teaching young children at her local dance studio at the age of 15, and has built a kinesthetic tool box filled to the brim with ways to engage, stimulate, and calm kids of all ages. All of Valorie’s experience and training have informed a new curriculum and methodology for teaching children that she is always excited to share with new, enthusiastic teachers and students.
Valorie’s love of Yoga for all ages has led to the creation of Yoga Village, a place where eventually all of her favorite things will be combined into one amazing experience. Having challenging and fulfilling Adult classes, simultaneously with fun and engaging Children’s classes in a separate space has always been a dream for this Yogi mom. Allowing parents to keep their kids close, but far enough away to focus on self care for an hour + has been a difficult find, but a definite necessity for families who wish to stay active and engaged within the community, and she looks forward to growing into this vision.
Pavla is passionate about how movement, breath and mind are interconnected layers within each of us. She discovered Yoga in her twenties, and fell in love completely in 2016 when first traveling to south east Asia. Only there did she start to understand that Yoga goes way beyond physical practice, that Yoga is actually a way of life. Since then she is sharing what she has learned and experienced across her travels and studies.
