Diane Martin

Instructor

River Rock Yoga & Pilates

Diane has been practicing yoga since 2009.  The practice was inspired by the possibility of regaining physical flexibility and strength that was lost as a result of her right hip replacement.  Physical limitations in mind, along with permission from her surgeon, she joined River Rock Yoga & Pilates Studio and learned to modify asana on the mat to safely suit her capabilities. In 2020, Diane graduated from the 200-hr. teacher training course offered by Yoga School, LLC in Covington, La., with Becky Gelatt.  The true meaning of all yoga has to offer the earnest student began to come to light during her training there.  As her practice began to heal her heart, mind, soul and body, she was inspired to transmit the possibilities with others.  Thirsty for more learning, Diane took the Yoga of 12 Step Recovery certification and recently graduated from the 2022 200-hr. teacher training program at River Rock Yoga with Moira Anderson and Laura Tyree.  Diane’s passion to teach yoga to beginners has been led by awareness that there are modifications for every pose and yoga offers healing practices for all beings regardless of the matters of the heart.  She seeks to share what has been transformational in her own life.
