Creating a safe haven in a busy world, one breath at a time.
Judith Valerie Yoga, a beloved part of Raleigh's community for over 30 years, offers yoga classes in North Raleigh and online via Zoom. Judith's classes are designed to appeal to students of all ages and abilities, from beginners to experienced practitioners. Our mission is to provide a peaceful and relaxing group experience that emphasizes the connection between body, mind, and spirit.
Judith's Classes
Judith's classes are known for their balance of flow and strength building, focused lesson plans, and supportive virtual community. With over three decades of teaching experience, Judith offers a welcoming, supportive, and encouraging environment for her students. Each class provides inspirational opportunities to move deeply into the ancient practice of yoga, with alignment details, constructive feedback, modifications for injuries, and information about the benefits of the pose for your mind and body.
Our classes strike a balance between well-known poses and new material, with mindful reminders to breathe and work within your own limits. We balance stretching with strengthening, and offer energizing practices along with deep guided relaxation. Our classes include a focus on Yoga for Aging with Grace, whether you are thirty or eighty. We also weave in bone strengthening, gentle Qi Gong flows, Pilates-influenced core strengthening, and a variety of meditation practices.
Judith's Credentials
Judith was certified by the White Lotus Foundation in 1988 and at the 500-hour professional level through the Kripalu Center for Yoga in 2002. She has completed hatha yoga residential programs at the Satchidananda Yoga Center and the Himalayan Institute, and studied with an alignment-based Iyengar teacher for many years.

In addition to in-person weekly classes in North Raleigh, Judith also teaches on Zoom to provide interactive yoga classes in the comfort of your own home.
