Hello, My name is Valerie (or Val) Stewart and I am a NASM Certified Personal Trainer (2011) and a Senior Fitness Specialist (2023). I am currently working on my MVP 300-hour YTT yoga certification with Vinyasa Yoga.
I love movement and started my love of dance at the age of 5. I had always wanted to teach and, inspired by my daughter in 2009, went to NYC where I was in the first class to graduate with a Teacher Certification from American Ballet Theatre. I began teaching ballet in 2009 and continued my love of teaching to adults in 2010. I spent 8 very fun and active years as the group fitness manager at Duvall Fitness meeting and training many clients to gain strength, balance, stamina and flexibility. In 2014 I participated in the BASI Pilates Mat Training course and in 2018 started my own Small Town Fitness business in Duvall WA and most recently I completed my NASM Senior Specialist add-on certification. New to the area I am excited to meet you and teach this fun hybrid class, SOUL Fusion, with you. Developed by a former PiYo instructor, Michele Park, SOUL Fusion is a hybrid of pilates, yoga, and strength set to fun music. You will gain strength, flexibility, improve your balance and have fun with friends.
I also look forward to working with clients 1 on 1 as your personal trainer and adding more group classes in the future.
For fun, I enjoy gardening at my home here in Sequim as well as nature walks, traveling, reading and exploring. I have two grown kiddos with my husband of over 30 years Jeff, and 3 dogs that make us smile every day. I look forward to meeting you at the studio!

As a Holistic Health Practitioner, E-RYT 500 Yoga Teacher, Intuitive Massage Therapist, and Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapist for the past 40 years, I have integrated a variety of yoga styles that I have practiced and been trained in and Dantayama (rehab) Yoga was the result. The most defining feature of Dantayama Yoga is, “Support=Release”. Properly supported yoga poses allow muscles to let go of tension and return to their natural, relaxed state. In order to quiet the mind, we must first quiet the body to access a deeper, sweeter sense of self.

Iris has always been interested in finding natural and effective ways to improve health, well being, and reduce stress. She became passionate about the ancient healing art of Qigong after moving to West Los Angeles area in 1996 to learn from renowned spiritual teachers, energy healers, and Qigong masters. Since then she has been leading and teaching Qigong, breathwork, and meditation practices for many years now with others also interested in optimizing their health and well being.

Qigong is very easy to learn and practice, and has been used effectively for many centuries for health and longevity, giving us natural ways to strengthen our innate natural healing abilities and find ease and peace within. She completed teacher trainings at Esalen through IIQTC, receiving certification in 2019, as well as healer training and certification from David Elliott for leading breathwork meditation groups in 2008. She has been teaching Qigong classes since 2019 and looks forward to sharing these practices with those who are also interested in optimizing their health and well being.

I was blessed to learn from a group of the best Master teachers in the Bay Area of California, then I enhanced that education with classes at The School of Dance Medicine in Walnut Creek, Ca and classes in Brain Gym Dynamics at Sonoma State University.
