Yoga Teacher Training, comments:
"Diane, your class Tues. was just what the doctor ordered!!
I am so grateful for joining this group and to have you as an instructor."
I could not be any more impressed with this program. Every interaction with Maureen Spencer was fascinating for me, also, I cannot say enough about you as a teacher, Diane. Your knowledge, your wisdom, your strength, created a wonderful space of safety for growth and exploration into yoga.
Nancy Kerrigan, YTT 2007
(I learned to) create my own yoga with clarity and truth and to share it with joy and humility. The compassion and encouragement from everyone in the Yoga Teacher Training was amazing.

"The teacher training is phenomenal, no matter where you are on your

supportive group while learning the foundations of yoga." Stacey Horton, YTT graduate
What I learned from you was the essence of how to be a yoga teacher - to really embody it. I learned that I am truly capable of accomplishing my goal - to LIVE my yoga. I also learned that I am stronger in so many ways than I ever thought.

Notes from students in Yoga Teacher training:
I just can't express my joy and gratitude enough, this training has changed my life. Diane helped me to bring my yoga practice inward - to find out how my body is responding to yoga beyond how a posture looks or whether I am properly aligned. Diane is an amazing teacher, she comes with vast experience and knowledge, and things that can't be taught such as grace, compassion and a truly loving spirit.
Kristy Maguire, YTT graduate 
"I just want to tell you how much I enjoy our Tuesday nights together! I learn so much from each of you every week! I especially enjoy the small
break outs where we each get to teach a pose or two. Last night I
learned new things from both of the other folks in our group about poses
I'd been doing all along. I also find teaching each other is not as
scary, since you're all so wonderfully supportive. ;)" Kimberly Amaral, Marstons Mills, YTT graduate
Last night was a very cool class. It's beautiful how much we are there for each other. It's so much because of how you lead the way. The worlds a much sweeter place with you in it. I love the way you use your power of suggestion to create such a safe environement. Leslie Chizek, YTT graduate
