Diane Church is certified as an Iyengar instructor through the Iyengar Yoga National Association of the U.S. She began studying at the Yoga Center of Lawrence in 2006 and started teaching at the Center in 2017. She is grateful for the opportunity to teach and learn in such a supportive environment. She seizes any opportunity to study with senior teachers.

Kim Lacy is certified as an Iyengar Instructor (CIYT) through the Iyengar Yoga National Association of the U.S. and has been teaching since 1991.

Kim took her first yoga class in 1983 at the Lawrence Arts Center when she was a student at KU. She has taught at the Yoga Center since 2006.

Kim hopes in her students will feel the benefits and possibilities of a yoga practice, learn how to use props to adjust the asanas to their individual needs, and be inspired and encouraged to explore their own practice at home.

Paulette’s yoga journey spans nearly three decades, much of it right here at YCL. She has completed her RYT-200/RYT-500 certifications and continues to explore yoga with teachers like Yogi Charu and John Friend as time and opportunities allow.

Her goal is to create a supportive environment where students can explore their own mind/body/breath connections through basic poses focusing on core strength and restorative poses to quiet the mind. She is grateful to her own yoga teachers and the opportunity to be part of YCL as a teacher; it feels like “coming home”.
