Diane V Vitoria

She began her practice and love for yoga in 2010. Being a long-distance marathon runner at the time having participated in multiple organized races from 2009-2019, including the New York City and Chicago marathons, she quickly saw the benefits of yoga to improve her athletic abilities and enhance her spirituality with the practice of meditation. She acquired her RYT-200 in 2016, then achieved RYT-500 in 2021 where she began to deepen her knowledge of ancient yogic teachings and philosophy. To broaden her contribution to her local community and students, she completed her prenatal yoga training in May2019, became a Reiki Master, acquired Level 1 Sound Healing certifications through the Sound Healing Academy, completed Restorative, Yin and Aerial Yoga comprehensive trainings, and has over 2000 teaching hours. Diane has taught yoga at other local studios/gyms and founded The Yoga House with support from her family and friends after having a deep desire or calling to create a space of her own for many to practice. Her background for over 20 years as a Registered Diagnostic Medical Sonographer and Registered Vascular Technologist enforces her knowledge of Anatomy and Physiology which she utilizes on the mat. Diane likes to bring strength, endurance, balance and tranquility as well as humor to the variety of yoga styles she teaches in her classes. In 2023, with the collaboration of one of The Yoga House dedicated teachers, Finding the Teacher Within RYS was born at The Yoga House Brandon. She works daily in keeping her sacred studio space clean and welcoming to all who visit and practice. She is grateful everyday that she has the opportunity to spread "yoga magic", as she often says, to the community with the incredible, talented and knowledgable team she works with. She strives to continue studying yogic teachings, practicing them on and off the mat, and welcomes other professionals to The Yoga House to enrich health and wellness for all who are willing to receive through workshops and special classes. Diane also has lead two International Yoga Retreats and is planning more in the near future. Having earned the US Trademark for Yogajuana, she developed a class incorporating pranayama, asana, and dhyana in the effort to bring mindfulness, promote calmness, and minimize stress/anxiety in a simple yogic way to anyone regardless of their yoga experience. As a Tampa native, she loves living in Florida and resides mostly in Brandon. She spends her days, when she's not at the studio, at her residence in Indian Rocks Beach.
