Beginning in 1979 a continuous yoga practice has lead John Diaz to studies in Alignment, Anatomy, Dance Pedagogy, Kinesiology, Ideokinesis, and a professional career in Dance starting in 1989.

John has worked nationally and abroad in Europe and South America as a professional Dance performer, Choreographer and Educator. His encounters with differing cultural models of body attitudes, awareness, alignment, and the process of navigating in the world have led to understanding functions of inner imagery, it’s effects on the body, and the body’s place in the world.

He has performed with City Ballet of San Diego, Helios Dance Theater, Loretta Livingstone and Dancers, San Diego Ballet, San Diego Dance Theater, San Diego Opera, and Wendy Rogers. John’s hope is to facilitate the stability, adaptability, radiance, grace, and directness inherent in everyones clarification of existence through movement education and dance performance.
