YOGA with Diane
Brief History and Training
Diane started her initial yoga practice at 52 years of age. Two years later, Diane made a life changing decision to retire early and pursue her passion for yoga on a full- time basis. Diane took her initial 200-hour Hatha Yoga Teacher training in 2006 at 54 years of age, under the tutelage of Vishvketu and she has been teaching yoga for the past 17 years. Diane follows a program of continuous learning and development so that she is positioned to ensure that her students receive the maximum benefit and knowledge from their yoga practice.
Tuesdays – 9:30-10:30 Gentle Yoga
This is a softer, more gently paced class that is meant to cultivate an internal meditative experience while stretching and recharging the body. Gentle yoga is less strenuous and best for beginners, or those looking for a calm class that incorporates breathing, postures and movement. There will be some strengthening, balancing and stretching poses. I also like to introduce a new breathing technique each week. A great place to start if you are new to yoga!
Tuesdays, March 18 - May 20 (no classes March 25/April 1) Members $120.00 + HST, Non-members: 130.00 + HST
Wednesday, 6:30-7:30pm Hatha Yoga
Practices are designed to align and calm your body, mind, and spirit. These classes invite you to shift through a series of standing, seated and floor poses that will build body awareness, strength, focus and flexibility in preparation for breathing exercises and meditation. This class may also include some active flow or sun salutations.

Fridays 9:00am-10am Yin Yoga
A Yin practice works deep connective tissues and increases energy flow in the body, releasing any energetic blockages. Poses are held for 3-5 minutes. Props are used to aid in physical release of tension without adding undue stress to the body. All levels welcome.
