She navigated her way through 'second spring' whilst recovering from a brain injury due to a cycling accident, and found the rewards of slowing down, tuning in and learning to rest deeply to be instrumental in keeping her sane. She is a Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Provider, offering mentorship for trainee and new teachers, and has worked at many of London's top yoga studios including Triyoga and the Life Centre. Committed to giving back to the community, Dina offers free classes for refugees and asylum seekers at the Happy Baby Community and for the mental health charity Mind.
