Hello, I’m Molly Koh, previously Vallillo.

One of my deeply held beliefs which has influenced my life and work is that all people are Divine and Connected to one another.  This led me to the practice of yoga and to my professional work in the International Development & nonprofit field. I am a certified yoga instructor with 7 years experience and am currently working towards my yoga therapy certification (2025). I completed my 200 hour teacher training in 2017 at the Akasha Yoga Academy and my 500 hour teacher training with Prema Yoga Institute in NYC.

My intention is to give others the opportunity for self exploration, healing and to cultivate tools for deep inner listening.  My style of teaching is based on the Hatha Yoga tradition,  and focuses on mindful movement, body awareness, connection with Self.  I aim to honor the history and philosophy of Yoga while allowing space for and meeting each student on their individual path.

NamJai (น้ำใจ) is a Thai word which is loosely translated as “Water of the Heart”.  This word represents a way of living generously and with the collective in mind that I was deeply moved by during the years I spent in Thailand and hope to emulate and embody.

No man can reveal to you aught but that which already lies half asleep in the dawning of your knowledge. - Kahlil Gibran

Testimonials

  • Yoga for Anxiety

    Molly is amazing! She's patient and caring. She took her time with me and showed me some different breathing and stretching techniques to help with my severe anxiety. It's been about 6 weeks and I notice significant changes to my stress levels. My anxiety is down and I'm starting to feel that positive energy flow through my body. What a great teacher. She's the best.

  • 1:1 Yoga

    Molly is such a gentle and compassionate teacher. She guides your practice with a sense of humble confidence- knowing exactly what you need and leading you there with care. I wish I had a recording of the class I just took with Molly so that I could revisit it again and again. Her slow flow kept me focused on my internal landscape yet challenged me physically- and it was just the right amount. I highly recommend taking class with Molly!

  • 1:1 Yoga During Cancer Care

    I was excited to work privately with Molly and learn the skills needed to attain a deep asana without pain/injury. Because of that class, I now joyfully and safely practice that asana often, however, I walked away from my mat that day with so much more. Molly’s subtle reminder during class that our mind, body, and soul are “one” was like a lightbulb moment. I now feel lighter and stronger dealing with life’s challenges. Thank you for sharing your gift, Molly, you are wise beyond your years!
