Diana de Piñeres

Diana found a passion for supporting women through labor and delivery when she began to work as a lay
birth doula in 2005. Under the tutelage of Earth Lande & midwife Elizabeth Davis, she recieved formal
training through the Natural Birth Institute of San Francisco. Diana understands birth giving as an
instinct & a key life experience for a woman. She is committed to being a birth educator & doula for the
empowerment of women.

Diana combines her experience as a Restorative & Vinyasa yoga teacher along with her knowledge of the
pregnancy & birth process with her skills in supporting women through labor and delivery to teach
yoga to pregnant women. A woman's connection to the Earth is heightened during pregnancy as it is with the
asana practice. Hatha Yoga is a highly complimentary & recommended practice during pregnancy.

She received a BA in Liberal Studies from San Francisco State University and was most impacted by
her studies in Holistic Health, Creative Writing, Women’s Studies, Dance, and YOGA. Practicing yoga
since 1996 she has been most influenced by her studies with Integral yoga, Iyengar yoga, Anusara & Jivamukti.
Trained to teach by Sri Louise in the 2003 Exalt Your Yoga Teacher Training Program, Diana continues her life
studies in yoga for Self-knowledge & leads classes throughout San Francisco with passion and love.
