I started moving my body at a very young age, studying the art of dance throughout my childhood. In my late teens to early 20’ I studied and taught aerobics and gym routines. I also loved to run, training and completing various running events, including a marathon in France in my early 20’s. In my mid 20’s I became a dedicated daily Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga practitioner for over 20 years.

From 1996 I began my yoga journey, practicing and studying extensively with Dr Monica Gauci and Gregor Maehle, chintamaniyoga.com. I started teaching in 2000, completing my first teacher training in 2002 with Monica and Gregor. I taught and practiced with my teachers for 20 years. I continue to study with various senior teachers.

In 2004 I gave birth to my son, which gave me the opportunity to practice yoga throughout my pregnancy, which led me to creating a video production for each stage of pregnancy and mentor teachers in this subject.

In my early forties, due to injury and dysfunctional movement patterns, I started exploring various movement modalities such as (Clinical) Pilates and Functional Movement to retrain my body back to strength and stability. As I entered the (peri) menopausal stage of my life, I started resistant training again due to its advantageous benefits, physically and emotionally.

My classes are a fusion of everything I have studied, (and continue to study) and experience/d. My purpose is to help students be mobile, flexible, stable, and strong and guide them to a deeper sense of Self with the principals of Yoga.

I teach locally in Perth, Western Australia and have my own studio, Yoga Rhyth’OM Dianella. I have taught internationally and also continue to lead workshops and retreats.
