Diane founded Foundation Yoga & Wellness Center 20 years ago and has been teaching yoga for 25 years. She is a Certified Yoga Instructor/Yoga Therapist who created the Foundation Flow, a synthesis of the most healing styles of Yoga to heal her own serious back injury. Now as a runner and cyclist she is forever passionate about sharing yoga as a path to living fuller, healthier, more vibrant lives. Diane has written for Family Circle and been interviewed by ABC’s 20/20, CNN, Health Magazine, San Diego Union-Tribune, and the Yoga Journal.

“Diane melds the spiritual practice of Yoga with a knowledge of how each posture can be used for therapeutic healing. I always feel so safe when practicing under her knowledgeable eye and even in her larger classes she’s able to focus on what each student needs. So many times I’ve arrived with something hurting and have left feeling amazingly improved. I don’t know why I’m always surprised that she was able to fix me, again!!!”-Kim

“A little over a decade ago I found Foundation Yoga and in the years since Diane has seen me through 2 hip replacements and a ruptured disc. Through her knowledge of anatomy, inventive strategies, and exceptionally clear directions, it has been possible for me to resume a vigorous outdoor life, including hiking the Inka Trail when I was 69. Diane has a teaching style that is meditative in its flow, encourages individual adaptation for maximum benefit and security, and is lighthearted while taking the work seriously. One comes away from her class in a great mood, after a great workout, strengthened and relaxed at the same time.” -Ida

“I’ve been able to do everything I love thanks to my 16 years of classes with Diane. I have a really bad scoliosis and it’s comforting to think that thanks to Diane, I’ll be able to keep moving through this journey without constant pain. Thanks for keeping me happy!” -Karen, Solana Beach
