Roni Skies & Valeria Andrews
Yoga and mindfulness practices have been constants in Val's life since her teenage years. In her native Australia, her career in show business began at the age of three. However, when Valeria's father relocated her to Hollywood to further her career, she also assumed the role of her father's primary caregiver. From ages 11 to 33, she steadily ascended from busking to securing record contracts, from acting in movies to making guest appearances on sitcoms, from securing publishing contracts to traveling the world while composing songs—all the while, dedicating herself to her yoga practice. Her ultimate goal was early retirement from the field of entertainment, enabling her to devote more time to what is most meaningful to her and to share as much of that as possible with those in need. Val completed her 200-hour Yoga Alliance Teacher Training at Sage Yoga Studios in Fallbrook, California, graduating in February of 2015. The studio hired her in 2014, recognizing her dedication and skill for yoga before she completed her studies. Val is currently teaching group and private wellness events in California for her mountain community of Aguanga and Anza, where she runs her Wellness Skies business alongside her husband, Roni. Val is also a graduate of Quail Springs Permaculture in Cuyama, California, and became a Certified Permaculture Designer in November 2011. Becoming a yoga teacher fits right into Permaculture’s core tenets: "Care for the Earth, Care for the People, Return of Surplus." Val observes “It makes my heart sing to share in the kindness. I am honored to be part of anyone’s well-being. Their light shines brighter, my light shines brighter, and the world is a better place. Yoga and mindfulness practices, in general, are a wonderful gift for us all. I want it for everybody!” Roni is a former songwriter/producer, multimedia business owner and USPTA teaching pro.. He has practiced the teachings of wellness since his early twenties. Alongside his wife Val, he graduated from Yoga Teacher Training at the Yoga Alliance-accredited school, Sage Yoga Studios in Fallbrook, California. Since retiring from his multimedia career, Roni has been passionately dedicated to sharing kindness, self-care, and emotional wellness knowledge with his community. "A consistent wellness practice sends a powerful signal to your core: that you care deeply about yourself, as only you can. This signal has a far-reaching, profoundly beneficial effect on your life, your family, and your friends." When not engaged in his private emotional counseling practice or working alongside Val on their Wellness Skies partnership, Roni provides wellness consultancy for The Cahuilla Consortium CCVAP in Anza, as well as wellness and self-care practices for Riverside-San Bernardino County Indian Health, Inc.
