Get to know another one of the incredible teachers in our collective. Find out what gets her excited about teaching, what keeps her practice alive, and maybe even a little funny fact.

Valerie Blohm

Q: What's your favorite style of yoga to teach?
A: It changes with the seasons. At the moment, it's slow flow. I'm really embracing the creative energy of summer, letting it guide me through playful, flowy movements.

Q: How would you describe your classes?
A: Regardless of style, my classes focus on moving energy. Opening into those sticky areas, releasing stagnation, and creating space. I love playing with balancing transitions to really envoke clarity of the mind while challenging the body.

Q: What do you love about teaching?
A: I love showing students that yoga truly is for everybody. Our culture and social media can make it feel intimidating and exclusive. I love seeing students break free from that and step into their most authentic selves.

Q: Tell us a fun or interesting fact about you.
A: Many years ago, I thought the Dalai Lama was an actual llama. When he visited my hometown, I couldn't understand why people were lined up for hours to meet a farm animal. I always laugh when I think about that.

✨️Ansley Williamson✨️

Q: What's your favorite style of yoga to teach?
A: Vinyasa is my sweet spot — whether slow or spicy, it allows space for creativity, intuitive movement, and a bit of sweat, all while staying grounded in breath and body awareness.

Q: How would you describe your classes
A: My classes are playful and heart-centered, rooted in yogic philosophy (especially the yamas and niyamas), but always approachable. I invite students to slow down, tune in, and explore what it means to show up authentically—in movement and in life.

Q: What do you love about teaching?
A: I love creating spaces where people feel safe to be authentically themselves. Seeing students soften, laugh, cry, breathe deeper, or just feel something real is so inspiring to me.

Q: Tell us a fun or interesting fact about you.
A: I host camping yoga retreats that blend movement, mindfulness, and getting a little dirty in the woods— because I believe healing happens outdoors and in community.

Q: What's your favorite style of yoga to teach?

Q: What do you love about teaching?
A: I love holding space for people as they shed layers, have little epiphanies, and become more of themselves while finding some peace and grace.

Q: Tell us a fun or interesting fact about you.
A: In my former life, I got to tour the world as a professional dancer....and my parents named me after Harrison Ford's love interest in Blade Runner.
