Diane fell in love with yoga in 2017 when Studio One Roseville opened in her neighborhood. What began as a new fitness routine quickly deepened into a meaningful exploration of the eight limbs of yoga and their impact on daily life.

In October 2020, she completed her RYT 200 through Flying Tree Yoga. Early in her teaching journey, Diane primarily taught classes in Spanish, expanding accessibility within her community. In January 2022, she began her 300 hour RYT with Yess Yoga in Minneapolis and will complete her final module in March 2025.

Beyond the studio, Diane is a dual language special education teacher with Minneapolis Public Schools. She lives in Roseville with her husband Pete and their two cats, Xóchitl and Freda. She treasures time with her two grandchildren, who she lovingly calls aspiring yogis.
