"I am not happy unless I have three or four creative ventures going at once. Teaching has always come naturally to me. I am captivated by the science of the body and the spirit of the mind and unraveling their mysterious connections. I have also embraced the challenge of being in business and accept the rewards along with the trials and tribulations. It gives me the opportunity to practice what I preach. Writing is a passion for me with endless possibilities. Who knows where it will take me next."

Dianne Anton
Pilates & Therapeutic Yoga Instructor/Workshop Facilitator

Dianne has been involved in the fitness and wellness industry for 19 years as a fitness instructor and, more recently, as a personal trainer. Over the years, she began to develop S.I. joint pain due to tight muscles which, eventually, became debilitating enough that she was unable to teach for a short period of time. By combining chiropractic care and Active Release Therapy with myofascial release and modified yoga postures, Dianne is now pain free, and enjoying the benefits of increased range of motion and ease of movement. With first-hand experience in the benefits of therapeutic yoga and myofascial release, Dianne is excited to be able to add these disciplines to her teaching and personal training. She feels privileged to share what she has learned, thereby, empowering others to take control of their well-being. "As a fitness instructor and personal trainer for 19 years, I have noticed an increasing percentage of individuals, regardless of age, with reduced mobility due to injuries, tension or unknown causes. This awareness as well as my own injuries and health issues have led me to study various myofascial release techniques. In an effort to assist people in healing themselves, I have developed workshops which teach participants how to release myofascial restrictions in the comfort of their home."

Testimonials "Dianne not only teaches you how to relieve the tension with the tools but also teaches how to use the breath, be aware of our bodies and explains how to prevent causing more pain." "Wonderful instructor. Kind, funny, engaging, knowledgeable. Thank-you!" "Very informative, useful and careful attention to everyone's needs. Thank-you!"
