about yogaspirit^®

Our purpose at yogaspirit^® is to assist in the evolution of, and healing of, human consciousness through education and inspiration.

We honor all yogic lineages and spiritual traditions, recognizing that we are all connected in the family of humanity. Our greatest hope is that the teachings, principles, and philosophies of yogaspirit^® will be passed down to benefit for generations to come.

After founder Kim Valeri's personal nine-year mystical and physical journey healing from near death injury in the early '80s, yogaspirit^® was founded in 1997 to share yogic teachings and the power of healing. Its growth has evolved in direct response to student's requests for continued knowledge and transformation. With its first student teacher apprenticeship in 1997, private mentoring later developed into yogaspirit^®'s first organized Teacher Training in 1999. In January 2001 yogaspirit^® was one of the first 20 flagship schools to be registered with the Yoga Alliance. In 2002 yogaspirit^® expanded with site locations in Maine and Connecticut and today is a leading New England establishment with an extensive faculty, having certified hundreds of teachers over the past decade. yogaspirit^® is a charter school with the International Yoga Therapists Association.

Today, Kim Valeri continues to spread the teachings of yogaspirit^® through many collaborations and strategic partnerships. She instructs men and women, young and old, newcomers or seasoned, worldly yoga practitioners, how to lead a sacred life by creating a safe space to heal, transform, and transmit the authentic yogic teachings that enhances personal growth and transformation. Talented teachers trained in Kim's yogaspirit^® style inspire students to open up to the exciting process of transformation by finding creative ways of relating to challenges through asana and the inner practices of yoga.

In the near future, Kim will be launching new yogaspirit^® Teacher Trainings: 200 Hour Prenatal Certification and a Master Yoga Healing Therapist Certification. A new yogaspirit^® Spiritual Studies program fosters and supports the students' choice to create spiritual sweetness in life to deal more effectively with challenges. This choice is possible for all to make as part of the blossoming of personal and spiritual maturity.
