Woman’s Nature Immersion Yoga Retreat

Diane KALI is a student of YOGA and the healing arts. For the past 30 years, she has dedicated her life to the mastery of the practice on every level. Her Yoga journey began in NEW YORK CITY in the 90’s. The very first yoga class was a lifting of a veil, a loosening of a deep knot and a glimpse at her true nature. The memory of her mother practicing yoga and a feeling of true happiness came to rest in her body mind and soul. She knew instantly that YOGA was her path. Years passed with yoga being part of her daily ritual. The love for the yogic life lead her to take teacher trainings with many Masters of Yoga. Their guidance lead her to make pilgrimages to Mysore India to study at KPJAYI (Krishna Pattabi Jois Yoga Institute). Saraswati Jois, her teacher was the first woman to teach yoga in India. She made her home in Upstate New York and was introduced to Khadija Radin of the Mevlevi order of America and Koshin David Radin osho of the Ithaca Zen Center.
