Dina Ridha
Dina has been practicing yoga for 20 years and meditation for over 25 years. She subscribes to and lives by the philosophy of Know Thyself. Dina’s Yoga training was transformed after she moved to Bali, Indonesia where she learned the ancient healing methods of the whole of Yoga, which included meditation, Ayurveda, philosophy & lifestyle, Mantra Chanting, Puja, Reiki & energy healing/cleansing/blessings, and traditional Hatha yoga. There she studied with local healers and masters and travelled to the island of Java to further deepen her studies.
Dina spent months living in an ashram where she practiced daily chanting, puja, kirtans, service, and so on. She travelled to Singapore to learn about Traditional Chinese Medicine using roots, mushrooms, and herbs for medicine and detoxification, as well as studies in acupressure and reflexology.
Dina then found her first mentor and began an in-depth three-year study in yoga therapy and Hatha Yoga in the style of Swami Sivananda. Her focus dove deep into pranayama techniques, yoga philosophy, studies in Chakras, prana, meridians, asana, and more. From there, Dina refined her practice and incorporated more advanced techniques including bandhas and Kriyas. Currently, Dina is expanding her studies in Kriya yoga and Ashtanga yoga. After reading Patanjali’s Sutras, Dina dedicated herself to living the yogi lifestyle of service in accordance with the Sutras, in thought, word, and deed.
