Educator and Parent.

Val Butts teaches Vinyasa, Gentle, and Family yoga in Northwest Montana. A mom of 3 (with twins) and former elementary and middle school teacher, she has lived in San Francisco and Honolulu. Val blends her training and experiences as an educator and dancer to meet her clients needs and requests. She has brought yoga and movement solutions to a wide audience including kids, professors, golfers, firefighters, and climbers. Val has designed and guided boutique yoga retreats in Montana since 2023. When she’s not teaching yoga, she enjoys drinking tea, eating noodles, and exploring with her family.

Yoga is an ancient practice that originated in India. I am trained in the Ashtanga style. Coming from a long line of teachers, I am also a forever student. Always learning. Always grateful.
