Prenatal yoga was my secret to surviving pregnancy and Darlene is the perfect teacher! Her detailed knowledge and pointers were life savers. I learned tactics to respond to my body's changing needs, and how to pull those tricks out of the bag at the right moment. Don't miss this opportunity to more fully experience the beautiful journey into motherhood

I took your prenatal yoga class and your "Yoga and Massage for Labor and Delivery" class. I wanted to say thank you for all of your wise words and suggestions during both classes because on Friday I delivered my baby girl without an epidural and it was in large part because of you! I wasn't sure that I'd be able to do it, I just wanted to go as long as possible without, but using the techniques that you taught me, I was able to make it through. The main things that helped were how you taught us to move in ways to help the baby move into position during contractions (swaying, staying on my feet, making figure 8's with my hips), keeping my face relaxed even during extreme pain (that was a big help!!), jumping in the shower to ease the pain, and my husband used several of the massage techniques that you taught in the workshop. It was truly a wonderful experience for me, my husband and my baby. You are a wonderful teacher and I can't thank you enough

About me

Darlene started on her journey with yoga in 1998 while working full time as a mechanical engineer. With the stress of work and the emotional hardship of losing her mother to Ovarian Cancer, Darlene turned to the practice of yoga for help. She was able to find balance in her life and learned tools to maintain her own health and well-being . With encouragement from her wonderful and inspirational yoga teacher, Fern Meierding, and after experiencing the incredible effects of yoga in her own life, Darlene started teaching and is truly honored to be able to share the gift of yoga with others.

Darlene completed her 500hr advanced yoga teacher certification in Hatha Yoga from the Himalayan Institute and is a registered yoga teacher with Yoga Alliance at the highest level of training and experience, E-RYT 500 (Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher). As a perpetual student, Darlene has also taken various workshops with senior teachers such as Shari Friedrickson, Judith Lasater, Rod Stryker, and Doug Keller. While currently focusing mostly on pregnancy yoga, Darlene has enjoyed teaching various types of classes including beginner and advanced hatha, prenatal, postnatal yoga (babies 6 wk-crawling, including infant massage), children and family yoga, private sessions, yoga in the workplace, yoga in the chiropractic setting, and yoga for sports teams. Darlene currently teaches yoga at The Yoga Center of Columbia, Crofton Yoga and the Columbia Medical Sports and Spine (formerly knows as Dabbs Chiropractic Center).
