"I signed up for Dina's yoga class at Mastick Senior Center at the invitation of a friend. I had started having hip pain and hoped it might help. Not only was the class perfect for me as a beginner, it made me feel good and the stretch really helped keep my hip flexible and kept me walking. My hip was later diagnosed as osteoarthritis and I was put in line for hip replacement surgery. I continued with several series of Dina's class, doing the stretching and strengthening exercises that my hip pain allowed me to do. Because my leg muscles were strong going into surgery, I had a very fast recovery. I was walking immediately with a walker, then a cane for a very short time. My limp even disappeared. I am now 5 weeks out of surgery and walking up to 3 miles. Dina has a fun, relaxed way of teaching that I really enjoy."

"Your classes are hot and exciting. You are a very responsive and aware leader with dynamic verbal skills. I hope you know how much you safely lead and empower others."

"Thank you again for being our teacher. While I can’t say I’m doing coherent yoga sessions lately, I use it all the time: stretching morning and evening, focusing on breath to relax and go back to sleep in the middle of the night, noticing when I’m doing weird things with my shoulders at the computer. Even that little bit of random awareness and practice helps. "

"Yoga with Dina at Mastick Senior Center has been a fantastic experience for my mind and body. Dina is a FANTASTIC yoga instructor for seniors. She helps you focus on not only increasing your strength and flexibility, but also centering your mind through focus on your breathing. As any good yoga instructor does, she keeps an eye on each of her students and helps with correcting body positioning and any adaptations to poses you may need. I always feel so much better after her class! I find myself taking bits from her class and doing stretches or breathing exercises when I need to re-center or work out tight spots, even if I’m in the grocery store. Try Dina’s yoga classes, you won’t regret it! "

"I appreciate your making the time yesterday to answer my question so clearly .......And I was fascinated and incredibly impressed to hear about your extensive yoga training and very thoughtful philosophy. I feel so lucky to have you as my yoga teacher!"

-Leslie, Zoom Yoga Student

"l have learned a LOT about adaptive athletics since my 1970 rock climbing fall and recovery, and again after dislocating my shoulder in 2019. ...... Thanks for offering alternatives all the time and helping us out; my practice may not look like much but it has helped immeasurably, especially taking class 3x/week. "

-Jon, Zoom Yoga Student

"Dina you are so thoughtful. And truly an excellent instructor. You make people feel welcome as if they are in your class, you customize to their needs, you keep the class moving in a gentle way, your helpful knowledge about the body (physiology/anatomy) and specific yoga moves is bountiful, your instruction and demonstration are clear and specific! .... You are 5 stars in my book! And it’s so easy to get burned out now with all the turbulence, unrest, uncertainty and rawness of it all. Thank you for everything you do and how you do it."

-Cathy, Zoom Yoga Student

"I wanted to tell you how much fun it was to do yoga class with you over the internet this morning. I completely enjoy your class Dina. You have such a commitment to your students that is very much appreciated. It felt good to connect like that. Thanks a million!"

"It really made a difference to me. As I said, you're one of my favorite yoga teachers and I think you teach at a level that surpasses most of what is out there."
