The instructor, Cara Diskin, began taking Hatha yoga classes in 1997 and has continued studying and practicing for the last 19 years. She continued studying Hatha yoga and then began to explore finding a love for the practice of Ashtanga. In 2001, Cara began a more rigorous study and daily practice with several Ashtanga teachers in Southern Oregon. She then moved to Central America, where in Costa Rica assisted in opening a yoga and massage center, teaching bi-lingual Ashtanga classes. In 2006, back in Eugene Oregon, Cara started branching out and experimenting with other styles of yoga including Vinyasa Flow and Anusara. The focus on alignment in the Anusara philosophy resonated with her and she has continued to practice all of the styles of yoga, taking the principles of alignment into each. Her teaching has influence from all the styles she has practiced over the last 19 years, focusing on proper alignment to strengthen and heal the body, while flowing with grace and nature to open the heart and bring balance. Please contact her at 664-2592 or here or via email with any further questions, interest in private classes or anything else! We look forward to practicing with you soon!
