Hi, I'm Diane,
I've been practicing Yoga for over 30 years and teaching for 16 years.
I have an avid interest in wholistic healing and believe that Yoga helps to facilitates all levels of health, physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.
Yoga gives us a place to feel at home in our body, and for a lot of people, for the first time.
Yoga offers a place to truly feel the body, to hear what the body is waiting for us to understand.
Our bodies & spirit are continually communicating with us, Yoga teaches us how to listen.
Yoga has the capacity to transform the body and the mind, bringing health, calm, peace and positivity into your life.
Yoga has been & still is one of the primary tools that keeps me (and so many others) healthy & balanced..
Because I live with an autoimmune condition, I live with the reality of fatigue after over extending my energy, I've experienced the panic that life may never be anything but a bunch of symptoms that make it almost impossible to function at a normal level.
I know the grief of missing out on the fun and even making up excuses for not attending events, so that friends and family wouldn't know just how unwell I was,.
I also know how Yoga has changed my life and II truly feel that mindful Yoga could help you too.
There is a deep inner knowing that comes from our own experience. I believe it is this embodied knowledge, when recognised and honoured, in turn, becomes our wisdom.
Through the practice of Yoga and other healing modalities we are given the opportunity to discover and access our own innate wisdom enabling us to live a beautiful life
I believe encouraging individuals to participate at a level that is most beneficial to them,
Yoga is not a competitive activity.
