Iyengar Yoga Kauai
Vincent Valente
Vincent Valente is a Certified Iyengar Yoga Instructor who has been teaching since 1998. His classes adapt to the needs and goals of students at various levels, challenging all to reach beyond their
perceived limits to evolve physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Yoga psychology influences both his teaching and his psychotherapy practice as a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Koloa. His
scholarship examines the integration of yoga into traditional psychotherapy and yoga for professional development and burnout prevention among psychotherapists. Vincent’s deep knowledge of anatomy and physiology stem from decades as a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist and lifelong athlete.
After years fostering a connection with the islands during visits with his father and sisters, Vincent finally moved to Kauai with his spouse, Jill and ten-year-old boy, Lorenzo, about a year and a half ago. He
enjoys bodysurfing, ocean swims and mountain biking.
Description
This class advances the skills developed in the beginner’s class, expanding the students depth and understanding of the practice, and introducing more inversions. Students should be familiar with the methodology of Iyengar Yoga. We'll work to improve body alignment, increase range of motion, and develop balance, strength, coordination and flexibility. Throughout this process, you'll be introduced to a kinder, more expansive relationship with your body and your inner Self.
