Meet All Teachers

Dawn has been practicing yoga since the mid-1990s. She took her first class at the Alameda Yoga Station in 1996 and has since studied under experienced teachers such as Sandy Blaine, JoAnn Lyons, and Donald Moyer. Dawn graduated from the Advanced Studies Program at the Yoga Room in Berkeley in 2009 and she continues to deepen her personal practice. Yoga has become an integral part of her life, especially because of its nurturing and centering aspects. Through practicing yoga, she has found that undoing is just as important as doing.

Dr. Dawn is an expert in the field of physical therapy and movement science. She has worked in a variety of settings affording her insights and perspectives along the continuum of body care. Dr. Dawn's illustrious career includes a long list of celebrity clients, athletes, and others who insist on working with the best to achieve their optimal physical functioning. 

Our bodies are amazing vehicles for our spirit. Learning how to care for them through time is my inspiration.

Diana is certified in Yoga Tune Up®, the Roll Model Method®, and The Melt Method®.  Along with being a licensed massage therapist, she is also an Upledger® trained Craniosacral Therapist.
