She specializes in yoga for scoliosis, general back pain, injury rehab, posture strengthening and the creation of a stronger, more mobile and injury resistant physique via the SQUARE 1 System for neurological organization.

Dina has a discerning eye for the asymmetric body and her therapeutic style helps bring her students and clients back into structural alignment. She views the body as art that can be reshaped primarily through the proper organization of the nervous system.
