As the Director of Teachers and Head of Instructor Training at the Integral Yoga Institute in New York, Dianne Galliano is positioned as one of the most important figures in the field internationally. Her academic focus has been mainly therapeutic yoga, with more than 6,000 documented hours of teaching and continuing education. 

As such, she has been tutoring, developing protocols and training criteria and providing continuing education to the instructors of the Integral Yoga Institute. She balances this work with her role as a therapist and instructor at other institutions such as The 14TH Street Y, Integral Yoga Institute Wellness Spa or the Educational Alliance: Center for Balanced Living. 

Her work also extends to creating and directing yoga programs, developing exercises and evaluating the challenges that may arise. She has worked throughout her career with many different profiles of people, including older and middle-aged men and women, prenatal and postnatal individuals, young adults and even war veterans with a range of physical and mental health issues. 

For each of them she performs careful and personalized work, having treated people with osteoporosis, recovering from heart surgery or post-breast cancer, vertigo, back pain, Irritable Bowel Syndrome and obesity. She has several certifications, highlighting the E-RYT 500 by Yoga Alliance, Basic Life Support (BLS) by the American Health Training and Certified Exercise Instructor by the Somatic Movement Center.
