Hate yoga and suck at personal protection?
You are allowed to find safety within.
Healing isn't a straight line and self defence is not about fighting.
Healing means you can manage the stress of life without burnout. Personal protection means you know how to keep yourself safe from threats outside of yourself and from threats within yourself.
I judged myself for years by the industry standards of neuro-normative behaviour outputs. But those standards never really worked for me. They may not work for you, either.
I can teach you how to re-introduce safety into your body, fall in love with movement, read threat cues and learn predator behaviour. I want you to know that safety is a right and restoring your nervous system is available.
HEAR FROM DIANE'S COMMUNITY
Diane melds the physical and the spiritual aspects of yoga in a very natural way. The pace and flow of the class suits me perfectly...Diane pushes us to push ourselves, but she does it gently and without judgement. I never feel criticized even when corrected.

Diane is an excellent yoga instructor, she helped and walked me through all the yoga positions, focusing mainly on my back issues and how I could improve my breathing and body posture. The way Diane teaches yoga is so personalized and focuses on each individual's needs. Diane had lots of knowledge and experience, I definitely knew I was in good hands.
