This is truly a wonderful add on to the Betr Program to help keep us motivated and accountable to taking better care of ourselves not only nutritionally, but physically, emotionally, and mentally! Thank you so much Diala!"

“ Diala is a great Yoga teacher. I’m 66 years old with a significant back injury last spring. I felt comfortable and confident in her classes—more flexible, better range of motion, stronger, less back pain. I’ve taken yoga classes with other instructors over the years, but always dropped out. She’s very motivating. I love Diala’s voice, her positive support and the variations provided, her clear instructions. She projects a calm happiness, but is not WooWoo or preachy, if you know what I mean. 🙂”

“ Yoga for me has been an integral part of my daily routine to stay in shape and follow a regular exercise routine. This class has given me flexibility, mobility and balance. It has helped with my sleep, breathing and relaxing at the end of the day. It also helps with my stretching and keeping my body moving as well as slowing down and being in the moment. I would like to continue this until I find another yoga class that is equivalent to this. I know that nobody can replace Diala... She is wonderful! I thank you so much for offering this. I only wish more people would take advantage of this great opportunity to better their lives. Thank you!!! "

“ This class is great for beginners as Diala explains each pose and offers modifications to fit your limitations. The meditation at the end of each class helps clear your mind for what is next. Try it and be surprised by how great you will feel after each session."

Hi, I'm Diala
Diala Hamed RDN E-RYT 500. I began my studies of yoga under Adi Shakti in Vinyasa and traditional Hatha yoga in Costa Rica. After years of travel and teaching yoga, I ventured off to India to earn my 500 hr certification through Akhanda Yoga School in Rishikesh. Since then, I have taught and participated in yoga across the globe in over 10 countries, across Europe, Asia, and Australia.
As a Vipassana meditator I value the quiet space that yoga creates and enjoy sharing the learnings on and off the mat in Yoga Teacher Training and retreats around the world. Yoga has taught me to ride the waves of life instead of trying to fight them.
