Kim Valeri, RYT., (Amrit Kaur) is the founder and Director of YOGAspirit® Studios and Healing Center. With 20 years of yogic experience and certifying teachers since 1999, Kim has mentored many practitioners of yoga in the New England area. She began her practice of meditation in the early 1980's and a practice of asana in 1990. As a teacher, she is multidimensional, blending spiritual compassion with technical proficiency. A graduate of the BKS Iyengar Teacher Training program, her Hatha practice is based in Iyengar Yoga, with Patricia Walden as her primary teacher. She is also a certified Kundalini Yoga instructor, her self realization has been cultivated by Surat Shabda Yoga. The manifestation of this energy has resulted in the evolution of her healing abilities.
After turning to alternative medicine in the early 1980's, Kim has realized, first hand, the power of healing. Her journey in overcoming serious injury, illness, and life events has allowed her to free her consciousness and acquire the knowledge to liberate pain and suffering within herself, and in turn, to help others. She has cultivated inner qualities of strength, grace and service. Most of all, Kim has a profound connectedness to a faith deep within her heart, and guides others to find this place of faith within themselves.
Kim is a student of life, tantrica, dedicated mother, friend, mystic, and entrepreneur. She practices a yogic life and is proficient in many Eastern spiritual paths.
