Diane Bunting (M.S., KRI-certified Yoga and Meditation Instructor)
"I LOVE yoga and have been amazed and grateful for all the ways that the practice has served me over the past 31 years. In 1976, a book on Hatha Yoga caught my interest and I spent all summer talking my mom and me through these fun and weird (to us) poses. I continued my investigations and practiced every yoga tradition that came my way, including Iyengar, Kripalu, classical Hatha and Acu-Yogas. In 1990, when a friend offered to share some Kundalini Yoga, I jumped into the practice and realized I was "home". Kundalini Yoga, as taught by Yogi Bhajan, is masterful at cultivating the internal underlying energy that supports all physical, mental and emotional health. I loved the way that my areas of weakness were touched and lovingly nurtured by the yoga sets, meditations and breath techniques. I continue to be awed by the effectiveness of this practice and offer daily gratitude for the gift of sharing this teaching with others. In 1994, I began teaching full-time in this area and currently see over 200 students each week in the Gig Harbor and Port Orchard areas. It is an honor to extend my teaching to the Three Trees Yoga Studio, founded by my yoga sisters (Jeni- with whom I offer yearly week end retreats, Suzy and Karen). My philosophy is that yoga is a deep, rich, river of wisdom and healing that can meet each of us in whatever ways our current health needs require. And so, I take joy in adapting the postures so that we each are supported, gently and lovingly in our life journey. I look forward to seeing you in class, whenever you would be served by Kundalini Yoga and Meditation. Sat Nam."
