Diane DeRuggiero

She encourages students to explore their unique expression on the mat. She guides students to find balance on and off the mat, or at least a sense of humor in a challenging pose, or difficult situation. She is an anatomy geek and a self-professed control freak who found yoga as an outlet for managing self-induced stress. She continues to obsess over anatomy books, full moons, and the mysteries of being human. Diane has been practicing various styles of yoga for over twenty years and is a Core Strength Vinyasa master trainer, Spinal reset certified, and an Ayurvedic practitioner. Diane completed her 200-hour training at Innerlight Center for Yoga and Meditation in Middletown, RI, and completed her 300-hour training in Core Strength Vinyasa with the founder, Sadie Nardini. Diane completed her Ayurvedic Practitioner and Spiritual Counseling training with New World Ayurveda.
