Diana began teaching in January, 2000 by initiating classes at community centers, gyms, spas, retirement communities, and private homes. Through classes at retirement communities, she became well experienced in the modification of yoga poses for seniors, as well as those with chronic health conditions. In 2003, she opened a yoga studio in Mount Dora, Florida, serving a wide variety of client needs.
Diana recently relocated to North Carolina with her husband of 24 years, Michael. She is focusing her teaching efforts at this time on special workshops and private sessions. In a private session of yoga, you can expect to receive individualized attention and a practice program tailored to your specific needs. Whether you are new to the practice of yoga or a seasoned practitioner, you will get the challenge and support you need in a relaxed and private atmosphere. You will gain the confidence and training to create a personal home practice.
A regular practice of yoga brings a wealth of benefits, including strengthening and toning of muscles, increased balance and coordination, increased range of motion, increased lung capacity, and a feeling of calm and ease in the body and mind.
