Boo Diamond

President of VSA

Term: 2026–2029

I’m originally from a small town called Duncan Falls, in Ohio. I’m a really big nature lover, especially bugs and trees. I admire animals, especially my cats. I enjoy learning new things. Something I’ve learned to cherish is community, relationships, and communication.

We moved to Virginia to get away from the noise and fast-paced city, to the calm and introspection of nature. We had a few goals in mind, two of the biggest being doing more yoga and more spiritual practice, and finding a place that would support both. And then poof—Yogaville!

I love the VSA. My experience so far with the council, council members, and community members has been nothing short of incredible. I’m always impressed by the structure, quality, and atmosphere of the VSA. It is inspiring to watch talented individuals co-create a balanced future for the community and the Ashram. I would love to support that growth by helping strengthen communication and relationships among community members and the Ashram, creating environments that break down barriers, build up gardens, and leave the community feeling whole.

My vision for the VSA and Yogaville is the same I hold for my own future: realizing we are all one, and that love wants to spread into every corner of the universe. I look forward to serving the community in whatever capacity.

The President serves as the primary leader and representative of the Village Council, strengthening communication within the Village Sangha Association, representing the Council publicly and in its relationship with Satchidananda Ashram, and providing overall guidance to support the Council’s effective functioning and community commitments.
