About

A 600-hour Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy credential paired with IAKP-certified kambo practitioner status anchors Valkyrie Yoga, founded in 2023 by Agnete Sandahl-Hybertsen on Santa Monica Avenue in OB. The studio is employee-owned across a diverse team of Black and Mexican co-owners, with programming built around trauma-informed somatic facilitation — the same nervous-system framework used by clinicians at The Soulful Therapist for PTSD and complex-trauma recovery work. Weekly class formats rotate through breathwork journeys, sound healing with crystal alchemy bowls and gongs, active vinyasa, and restorative yoga for multi-modal nervous-system regulation. Monthly community programming layers in cacao ceremonies, moon circles, ecstatic dance, and spoken-word poetry evenings, pulling from the same Eastern-medicine lineage practiced at Acusport Health Center. The flagship offering is the eleven-week somatic breathwork facilitator training, a program combining trauma-informed space-holding, the Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy lineage, and hands-on co-facilitation hours with the founder.
