Will this be your first winter here?

I am often asked this question in my new hometown. I am happy to answer YES because I know that what follows will be some tried and true winter advice from folks who know!

Actually, this is my first time ever experiencing true seasons. I am curious, excited, and a little apprehensive about what is to come in the next months. I am learning so much about my new life in MT, and I am prepared to learn even more as the leaves change, temperature drops, and winter weather arrives. Growing up in the Bay Area, I lived in year round fog and a sunny period called "San Francisco Summer" every September/October. In Hawaii I experienced a yearly "rainy season," and an unforgettable stormy time where it rained for 40 days and nights.

Needless to say, there is no way that I can know what life will be like during my first "real winter." I realize that I will need to experience it to know. I have accepted this. I am open to changes, both external and internal, and am prepared to take it all in. I am looking forward to what the seasons hold for myself and my family, and to learning from my community and nature.

Fall Classes & Link to a Free 30 Minute Flow

I have started subbing for different yoga studios and teaching occasional pop up classes, which I generally announce on Instagram, but here are my consistent weekly classes:

Thursdays at 9 am - Love Yoga in Kalispell. I look forward to teaching in this cozy HEATED studio every week.

Fridays at 11 am MST/10 am PST - Zoom. I teach the Friday 30 online classes outside in my hay field. I'm not sure yet where I will teach them as it gets colder. Tune in to find out! Recordings of these 30 minute classes are available to rent and are free to Val B Yoga Members. I have uploaded a FREE class on Youtube, so you can check out my 30 minute format while enjoying the MT landscape behind me!

Saturdays at 9 am - Creative Arts Center. Excited to offer a weekend class in this spacious and beautiful studio in Eureka.

Anytime Anywhere Offerings - from your own home (or hay field ;)) Flows ranging from 5 minutes to an hour available to rent individually (starting at $5) or access all the videos for a whole month with a membership. A membership is just $20 a month, which is a steal compared to what yoga classes can cost! Prefer a customized private lesson? Reach out to set one up!

Questions? Feedback? Season-related advice? I can't wait to hear from you.
