Vale Yoga is a private yoga studio located in Maendy, Cowbridge, run by Katherine Smith, a qualified and advanced yoga teacher with extensive training across multiple disciplines. The studio specializes in intimate, personalized yoga instruction for small groups of up to four people, creating an environment where individual attention and progression are paramount.
Katherine serves students of all experience levels, from complete beginners feeling nervous about joining their first class to those with established practice. Her approach combines professional expertise with genuine warmth, offering clear instruction, hands-on adjustments, and thoughtful modifications tailored to each student's needs and body. She specializes in Ashtanga Vinyasa, Rocket (advanced postures), Yin yoga, and trauma-sensitive yoga practices designed for anxiety management.
What distinguishes Vale Yoga is Katherine's commitment to making yoga accessible and relevant to individual practitioners. Her training with respected teachers like Jamie Blowers, Ram Jain, Kitty Billings, and Laura Gilmore at Bristol School of Yoga demonstrates her dedication to continuous learning. Classes are held face-to-face in the private studio, with outdoor garden sessions available weather permitting, creating a peaceful and personalized experience rarely found in larger studio settings. Students consistently report feeling welcomed, supported through progression, and leaving sessions feeling both energized and deeply relaxed—achieving that valuable "me time" essential for modern wellbeing.
