About the author
Yogastrology creator Diane Booth Gilliam, MA, RYT has been called ”yoga teacher extraordinaire” by her students (see Joyce Hocker’s college textbook, Interpersonal Conflict, 6th Edition) and “just right” by Yoga Journal (media review, 2000).
Ms. Booth Gilliam took her first yoga class in 1978 at a YMCA in Montana. Since 1978, Diane has studied and practiced with excellent teachers in the US, India, and Australia — including Anusara, Svaroopa, Bikram, Kripalu, Kundalini, Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy, and Iyengar Yoga. Diane also practices with extraordinary meditation masters.
Diane fell in love with yoga, immersed herself in her practice, and eventually landed in the colorful world of India. At a Full Moon yagna (fire ceremony) in India, Diane sensed a connection between yoga and astrology. When she learned of an elegant, ancient tradition that aligns the zodiac signs with areas of the body, Diane began to create Yogastrology :: Yoga meets Astrology.
Diane Booth Gilliam’s work has been featured in Yoga Journal, Yoga International, YogiChocolate, and About.com/Astrology. She is a contributing author to Switzerland’s Astrodienst online astrology encyclopedia.
