DINA ABBONDANTE

VINYASA FACULTY

Dina was introduced to Yoga during her college years and began to practice consistently shortly after. Her initial teachers were Ashtanga Yogis and Iyengar practitioners, which influenced Dina's ongoing respect for flowing practice with breath, alignment and therapeutic sequencing.

Students will find a hybrid practice in Dina's classes, as she blends the physical and energetic principles of Vinyasa Yoga with the detailed alignment of Iyengar Yoga. Dina offers variations in steady and intentional sequences that encourage students to explore from the inside-out, while focusing on rhythmic breathing. In each class, students will build deep and lasting strength, alongside spacious and mobile muscles and a receptive nervous system.

Muscle health, fascia and anatomy have also greatly influenced Dina's understanding of effective movement. As a licensed massage therapist, she brings 15 years experience working with a variety of clients into her teaching style.

Dina has additional specialty trainings in Iyengar Yoga for Back Care, Iyengar Yoga for Scoliosis, Restorative Yoga and Vinyasa Yoga for Parkinson's. She's also specialized in myofascial release techniques, neuromuscular massage, prenatal massage and is an Usui Reiki Master. Dina has been a certified Vinyasa Yoga teacher, Prenatal Yoga teacher and Mat Pilates Teacher in the Joseph Pilates method since 2004.
