COUCOU started with a wish to share the beauty of simple living.

After moving to Morocco, I was deeply touched by the warmth and openness of the people, the rhythm of the days, and the beauty in simplicity. It made me want to share this way of living: the kindness, the light, the togetherness.

I’ve never been someone who could choose just one path.

Through COUCOU, everything I love finally connects: movement, creativity, food, and the joy of sharing life with others.

Each retreat is an invitation to slow down, to move, to laugh, to reconnect, with yourself, with others, and with this country that continues to inspire me every day.

This is COUCOU. Created from love, inspired by Morocco, and meant to be shared.

Meet Valerie

I’m a certified yoga and barre teacher. Drawn to movement, rhythm and connection.

I did my Vinyasa training at Yandara Yoga Institute in Mexico, and later trained as a Barre instructor with Barre Fit Barcelona.

Over time, I also became a Prenatal Yoga teacher and Doula, deepening my love for supporting women through every phase of life.

My classes move between yin and yang, sun and moon. A balance of strength and softness.

I love to challenge the body, but also to slow down; sometimes the best part of class is simply breathing in Down Dog, letting stillness do its work.

For me, yoga is about coming home to yourself, with kindness, movement and light.
