Hi, I am Valerie, a French archaeologist, hiking guide, and yoga instructor who has called Crete home for 20 years. Captivated by the island's breathtaking nature, landscapes, geology, energy, as well as its rich history, culture, and traditions, my love for Crete remains as strong as ever. This deep connection is precisely what I seek to share with others. Blending my diverse expertise, I develop
ed the concept of YogaWalks Healthcare, offering Mindful Walks (Walk Alive), Walk and Yoga excursions/retreats, and Indoor/Outdoor Yoga courses. My mission is to teach and share simple yet powerful tools to enhance daily life. By walking with me, you’ll discover how to merge the physical benefits of walking with the mindfulness and meditative practices of yoga. You’ll learn to connect deeply with yourself, improving your overall health and well-being. Additionally, my vast knowledge of Crete’s history, geology, flora, fauna, and traditions allows you to fully immerse yourself in the island’s wonders, creating an experience that is as enriching as it is transformative.
