Diana Estey
Hatha
E-RYT 500
Diana is a Yoga Alliance E-RYT 500 teacher with more than 25 years of teaching experience and the founder of AliveAnew Yoga and Fitness.
A born teacher inspired by movement and light, Diana first began teaching a dynamic vinyasa style influenced by her primary teachers Shiva Rea, Rodney Yee, and Sean Corne. She studied at Kripalu and, in 2003, moved to the San Francisco Bay Area to expand her yoga career with Yoga Works. There, Diana developed clearer articulation and a deeper understanding of alignment while building an incredible practice and community and assisting with the teacher training program. During her time out west, she also began studying her beloved Yin Yoga with Bernie Clark, Sarah Powers, and Paul Grilley.
Diana integrates the teachings of her many teachers and experiences, her coaching work, and her love of poetry and nature to create a nurturing and uplifting, alignment-based slower flow vinyasa practice, as well as a grounding and transformative Yin Yoga practice.
Her passion is creating space for students to experience greater connection to their own joy, beauty, and freedom through yoga. A full-time yoga instructor, life coach, and outdoor fitness educator, Diana’s greatest joy is leading yoga and hiking, skiing, and kayaking retreats across the country and around the world.
Diana is grateful for all of her teachers who have shared their wisdom and expertise, her students who continue to inspire and inform, and the beauty and complexity of all of life.
