About Us

YogaXoga LLC was founded July 2004 on a simple desire to create a friendly and comfortable environment for everyone to enjoy the many benefits of yoga. YogaXoga offers the physical and stress-relieving benefits of yoga without the mystical elements & philosophies taught in many traditional classes.

The term ‘YogaXoga’ holds two meanings. First, YogaXoga (X is pronounced as a Z, like Xerox) pokes fun of the idea that yoga should only be reserved for the extremely flexible or enlightened (as in yoga-schmoga!). Yoga offers benefits for all of us. The casual, friendly and safe atmosphere of YogaXoga classes enables everyone to feel welcome & successful.

Second, the X in YogaXoga represents the Greek letter for Christ. As a Christian, YogaXoga founder Heidi Valenzuala wanted to combine her passion for yoga with her passion for Christ, by offering Christ-centered yoga classes. These classes can help Christians improve their physical health, clear distractions & clutter from their minds, and enable them to focus more fully on Christ.

About Heidi Valenzuela

YogaXoga founder Heidi Valenzuela began practicing yoga a decade ago to relieve stress from her corporate job. She found yoga not only helped her to build strength and flexibility but also enabled her to quiet her mind and relieve stress. After nine years of performing a variety of roles at a Fortune 50 company, including managing and coaching young business professionals, Heidi was led to move her teaching to the yoga mat. Heidi is a YogaFit-trained Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT). Heidi’s teaching style focuses intently on serving her students’ needs – whether modifying poses for a beginner recovering from an injury or assisting an advanced student in finding a deeper challenge from a familiar pose.
