Cara Diskin grew up on the West Coast of the U.S. in Eugene Oregon. She began taking Hatha yoga classes in 1997 and has continued studying, practicing and teaching for the last 20+ years. She continued studying Hatha yoga and then began to explore finding a love for the practice of Ashtanga yoga. In 2001, Cara began a more rigorous study, daily practice and certification with several Ashtanga teachers in Ashland 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 studied over the last 20+ years, focusing on proper alignment to strengthen and heal the body, while flowing with grace and nature to open the heart and bring balance. Yoga is the uniting of the body, mind and spirit and this trinity connection is life changing! She loves teaching and feels education (of all forms) is the answer to a more peaceful, conscious and healthy world. She currently lives on the island of St. Kitts with her partner and 3 ½ year old son running her yoga business, Yoga Divine –For The Mind, Body and Spirit.
