Diane McKinzie RYT

Diane has been teaching Yoga since 1988, is registered with Yoga Alliance at the E-RYT 500 hr. level (the highest level currently offered), and is a certified Pilates mat teacher. She began her personal practice of Yoga in the early 1970's after watching Lilias Folan, "America's First Lady of Yoga", on public television. She found Hatha Yoga to be the perfect compliment to her active life as a runner and triathlete. In the mid 80's, after some dramatic changes in her personal life, Diane began to study the full Yogic philosophy in depth. She was trained under the supervision of an Osteopathic physician and began teaching in a medical center, giving her access to students with varying degrees of health and mobility. It became very apparent to Diane that Yoga was the means to powerful physical and emotional change.

Over the past 20 years, Diane has studied and taught various "styles" of Yoga, (Bikhram, Iyengar, Ashtanga, PowerYoga, etc.), but found that she always returned to the gentle, wise instruction of Lilias' work. In 2006 she was blessed by a gift from her students to travel to Montana to spend a week studying with Lilias in person. She continues to teach in the "Lilias" tradition by encouraging her students to adapt movement to their own special needs, and to find the joy and lightness of heart in this effort.

Now that Diane is in her 60's she has turned her teaching towards the needs of the mature woman. All of Diane's classes are For Women Only, as the instruction is geared for the mature female body. She teaches Gentle Hatha Yoga classes and Yoga for Beginners and Intermediates, also offering private instruction.
