About Diane

Diane Holbel’s teacher training was with Jonny Kest at his Center for Yoga near Detroit.  She has been a Registered Yoga Teacher with Yoga Alliance, a national registry of teachers who have met specific training standards, since 2003.  Approaching Teacher Training, she was concerned that being a retiree might affect her effectiveness.  She was counseled “many people are comforted and inspired by an older teacher,” which she was pleased to find was true.    

Diane brings several yoga styles to her teaching.  A class may focus on relaxation, range of motion, or building strength and stamina, but its goal is always self awareness and self acceptance.

She was introduced to yoga asanas through Lilias Folen’s 1960’s TV classes.  Intervening years included many types of body work including teaching Belly Dancing. After being introduced to Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga in 1999, it has been her favorite personal practice because “it works”.   Diane retired after 25 years as commercial real estate broker and property manager for international investors. She moved from Michigan to Atlanta to join her sons and other family members.  The entire family values yoga and its full range of mind-body-spirit benefits.
