Diane Malaspina, M.S.Ed., Ph.D. began exploring yoga in 2001 while finishing a doctorate in Educational Psychology at the University of Virginia. Soon after, she met Angela Phillips who offered continued studies in asana, meditation, and breathwork. While Angela Phillips is Diane’s main teacher, she completed Shiva Rea’s Prana Vinyasa Flow 180 hour immersion in Venice, California. Currently, Diane is finishing the non-contact hours toward RYT- 200 for Yoga Alliance.

Her teachings emphasize the dynamic, organic approach of Prana Vinyasa Flow that integrates ayurveda, tantra, and energetic alignment to enhance the flow of prana-shakti. The teachings of yoga complement the work that Diane does as a psychologist. Diane teaches multi-level and vinyasa classes at Angela Phillips Yoga Studio in Virginia Beach, VA, where she lives and enjoys nature and the ocean daily with her two SPCA dogs, Hannah and Prana.
