"Valma is amazing and afternoon Puja with Joanne has been an exceptional experience. Overall my, HERIZEN™ Vancouver Island YTT program is one of the best trainings I have ever attended."
Celeste Bradley - New York
I came to this Vancouver Island YTT training, not really knowing if I would be able to keep up, or if I would be at the required level of fitness. Upon my arrival I was relieved to find that Valma had a way of making us all feel welcome and taught me to respect myself, my body and to accept me for where I am right now. Throughout the training I noticed vast improvements in my practice and I feel that I have learned everything I need to go out into the world and share my love of yoga with others. A great experience!

Christine Chever - Lancaster, Pennsylvania
“I attended the HERIZEN™ Yoga for Women Teacher Training in Baja, Mexico in December 2006. The program has led me to a new awareness of myself. I was delighted to have such a wonderful group of women with which to learn and share. The energy created was about sharing, recognizing, saluting and encompassing what shines beneath. I have come away from this program with a wealth of knowledge not only concerning Ashtanga Yoga, but also blending lifestyle choices and spiritual practices that have enhanced my overall health. I feel very fortunate to have been a part of this circle of wellness.”

The unconditional support, guidance, cares, and love from everyone has made this a life changing experience. My body and soul have been enlightened tremendously."
"Inspiring, motivating, powerful, spiritual and supportive, Valma is a true Goddess. She has exceptional dedication and energy and is one of the few people who can truly demonstrate how one can create wonders in every situation."
