Dina applies her knowledge and love of the human body to everything she does at Kashmir Hands. When she was a student studying massage and yoga she was fascinated by the human reproductive system and wanted to learn as much as possible about the body and all of its amazing abilities. This hunger for knowledge drove Dina to develop a true understanding about how massage and yoga can increase, stimulate and relax functions of our bodies. Her journey to fully understand the human body is a never-ending one for which she consistently educates herself. With this knowledge she is able to help her clients achieve optimal wellness.
Dina is a graduate of the NY College of Health Professions, attended a 1200 hour certification program at the NY College, and is a certified Hatha yoga instructor, trained in Pranayama and Meditation. She also attends workshops through DONA International, Yoga Journal, American Massage Therapy Association and is a trained Prenatal yoga teacher.
