Today I close the door on my 15 year classroom teaching career.

I am now a fulltime Mom and yoga teacher. But where?

Not in San Francisco where I grew up.
Or in Hawaii where I first became a teacher.
Or in Half Moon Bay where I most recently lived.
But in MONTANA!

That’s right…my family and Val B Yoga are moving in a couple of weeks!

Get ready for big skies, real seasons, and new adventures!

As I prepare for this massive transition, I have been reflecting on some of the currently important things in my life; parenting (3 kids), teaching (preschool through 6th grade), dog training (reactive and sweet rescue pitbull), and yoga (my own personal practice and teaching yoga). In a very general way, three ideas have helped me throughout my journeys in all these areas. They are: Accountability, Consistency and Effective communication. Conveniently they can be called ACE.

Striving for effective communication and keeping consistent though schedules and routines creates accountability and growth, whether preparing my kids for bedtime, teaching my dog to walk beside me, or guiding a classroom or studio full of students.

Practice accountability and consistency with my 55 minute Triangle and Tree Class, available right now only for those reading this. Then if you like (no pressure), you can even communicate your feedback on the class, completing the ACE trifecta!

Thank you for reading!
