Bill Dial, RYT 500

Bill is originally from Texas and has lived in Boise for 21 years. Before yoga, Bill was both a runner and a weightlifter and used yoga for therapy, flexibility, and relaxation.

Bill graduated from Shanti Yoga School’s 200 and 500 hour teacher training program and is a registered teacher with the Yoga Alliance.  Although Shanti Yoga School advocates study with numerous masters in a variety of styles, Bill’s training and practice is grounded in solid biomechanical principles and study of foundational yoga scriptures that follow the lineage of Krishnamacharya, T.K.V. Desikachar, Gary Kraftsow, and Erich Shiffmann. He has attended many workshops within the past year, including those taught by: Julian Marc Walker, Sara Ivanhoe, Jo Tastula, and Noah Maze.  His personal practice and self study education includes Tantric Yoga, Viniyoga for Wellness and Yin Yoga.

Bill is an avid “spiritual seeker” and his attitude of Vinyasa Flow Yoga is one of childlike curiosity, exploring the practice and remembering the joy is in the journey.  His students will experience “breath synchronized movement” that will allow the movement of the poses to run together like a dance. Bill’s non dualistic approach to yoga will remind the students that the strength of “flow yoga” is it’s diversity which gives the student room to develop their individual personalities and philosophy while still being safe.  If you enjoy having things a little loose and unpredictable then Bill’s classes are for you.

When Bill is not on his mat, he enjoys time with his wife, children, and grandchildren.  Bill is also a practicing Landscape Architect in Boise.
