Valentina Abadia Henao

Valentina brings a life-long devotion to yoga, healing, and embodied presence into every retreat she leads. Born in Cali, Colombia, and having lived, studied, and immersed herself in the rich cultural landscapes of Spain, England, France, and the United States, she holds a deeply worldly yet deeply intimate perspective on personal transformation.
Her journey with yoga began at the age of 13, evolving from early curiosity into a heartfelt vocation. In 2014 she travelled to India, where yoga’s living traditions pulse through the valleys and rivers, to complete her 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training, an experience she describes as life-changing and deeply transformative. Since then, her teaching has been guided by integrity, intuition, and a genuine commitment to supporting each individual’s growth.
Since settling in Tuixent in 2016, Valentina has grown her offerings from a single weekly class into a vibrant schedule of four classes each week, including a dedicated children’s practice. Her approach is gentle yet empowering, rooted in awareness, compassion, and attentiveness to each student’s unique journey.
Her training extends beyond the physical practice: she is certified in Reiki (Level I) and has completed specialised training in Trauma-Sensitive Yoga (TCTSY) and a 10-day Vipassana meditation course, bringing depth, sensitivity, and grounded presence to every session.
