Introducing Dianne Powers...
Dianne's introduction to Pilates began in 1998 thru her own rehabilitation for a knee injury. Once retired from her professional dance career, she attended The Pilates Center in Boulder, CO in March of 2001, an international teaching center for instructors. Dianne completed the program in October of 2002. After receiving her teaching certificate, she opened Golden Pilates in Golden, CO. For several years Dianne focused on clients who required specific instruction as a result of an injury or physical challenge. In February of 2012, Polestar Pilates, a rehab-based program presented an opportunity for Dianne to enhance her instructional skills. She completed her training series with Polestar Pilates and became both a mentor and host site for the organization (2013-2015). Dianne values Pilates as a therapeutic training for recovery and continues her studies in the area of rehabilitation determined to inspire her clients to improved health and movement.
Just Recently, in June, Dianne completed a workshop in NYC on The Adaptations for Scoliosis Based on the Teachings of the Schroth Method. The material included understanding the pathogenesis of idiopathic scoliosis, identify the forces that promote curve progression, applying breathing strategies to assist clients with their movement regiment and observing Schroth therapist practicing the Scroth method techniques on individuals with scoliosis. What an incredible experience!
Dianne is grateful to both the educators for their extensive knowledge, generosity and compassion. More about the Schroth Method here:
