Valerie Sonnenthal, originally from New York City, has lived year-round on Martha's Vineyard (off Cape Cod) in Massachusetts for 15 years. She found Kaiut Yoga in Telluride in 2017 and has not looked back, having completed 500 plus hours of teacher training, attending workshops and a Carnival Retreat in Brazil. She continues her studies with Francisco Kaiut as well as Christiana Sprengel. She owns Peaked Hill Studio on the Vineyard, teaches Kaiut Yoga and is a certified Sound Practitioner offering weekly public Sound Baths, and looks forward to playing again at the local nursing and rehab center as well as weekly at Camp Jabberwocky, a residential vacation camp for people with disabilities. She is finishing a workshop and retreat studio to further share Kaiut Yoga and other offerings. She is a regular contributor to the Martha's Vineyard Times, organizes Experiential and Healing Sound events/podcasts at Featherstone Center for the Arts, WMVY and other venues, and is a member of the Cleaveland House Poets. She lives with her husband, photographer Ed Grazda and their two dogs.
