Student Raves
So that we can let you know what to expect from
us here are some of the positive experiences our students have had with
our center and classes.
I always look forward to going to class. I am always rewarded with
a good sense of myself. Feeling youthful & full of bliss of life blessings
after class. I sit & stand up straighter & my meditation practices
are much improved.

When we first moved to this area I looked all over the East Bay and
tried many different yoga studios until I finally found The Yoga &
Movement Center, and then I didn't need to look any further. Diane's classes
are informative, nurturing, challenging & fun! Her approach and teaching
had allowed me to become stronger and more flexible without injury. At
this point, I need my daily dose of Diane.
Beth……Mom
I have been a student of Diane's for about six years. She is an extraordinary
teacher. She listens to her students and is very in tune with their needs.
Yoga has become a really important part of my life. It's benefits reach
far beyond the physical. I think I am a calmer and more focused person
since I began practicing yoga. Needless to say, I am also stronger and
more flexible. I have also had the pleasure of attending classes by other
instructors at the Yoga & Movement Center. Diane brings in very high
quality teachers with a variety of expertise. Thank you Diane!
Trisha ……Teacher
My life has been full of change and transition. For this I sought the
calming effects of Restorative Yoga. I think of it as my one hour per
week for shutting down and "re-booting". By using my body, Yoga
has allowed my mind room for clarifying its focus, while gently rebalancing
my physical, mental & spiritual energies.
Diane …….Retired
I began taking Diane's Iyengar class in hopes of reducing my stress
level. What I got out of it was beyond what I expected - relaxation, body
awareness, strength, as well as mental awareness. I have an overall stronger
connection with my body and am able to deal with physical and mental stress.
Diane's expertise was apparent in my first class and it has been unsurpassed
by any other instructor I have worked with. She conducts her class for
all levels to enjoy and is very welcoming to newcomers. I look forward
to working with her for years to come.
Brooke …….Financial Analyst
Best thing I've done for myself for years - Diane is so tuned in to
each student and their needs. Very warm, caring (nurturing) and very knowledgeable!
Fabulous stress reduction at the end of the day. I also love the positive
energy, joy and relaxed atmosphere. It's so wonderful to do things you've
never been able to do before and Diane is awesome!
Sally …….Specialty Food Rep
I have found The Yoga & Movement Center and especially the Director,
Diane Valentine to be friendly & inviting. I have been going to Yoga
classes on and off for 20 odd years and this is one of the best yoga experiences
I have had. Diane makes the classes challenging but is careful not to
push anyone beyond their limit.
Frankie …….Retired R.N.
As a type A personality this movement center has been an oasis for
sanity. Great coaching in a safe, non-judgmental environment has been
invaluable in helping me learn to move in another way that deepens my
awareness on physical, mental, emotional & spiritual levels.
Suzanne …….Flight Attendant
I look forward to yoga class. It is fun and I move better afterwards.
I have more energy and my friends have noticed that I look healthier.
Diane Valentine is an excellent instructor.
Ginny ………Retired Teacher
This yoga studio is amazing! Diane is such a therapeutic, attentive
instructor. I suffered from low back pain for 5 years and in one month
of yoga, it disappeared! My strength has increased. I have raved about
this studio and encouraged friends to give it a try! Thank you endlessly
