Dorina has been in love with movement, rhythm, and wellbeing for as long as she can remember. She first stepped onto a yoga mat in 1986 at the age of 16, but it wasn’t until 2008 that her practice truly took root and became a steady, meaningful part of her life. 

What began as a practice gradually became a way of living: a space to build strength, find balance, and return to herself, again and again.

Dorina completed her 200-hour YogaWorks Teacher Training with Anna Zorzou in July 2016 and is currently continuing her studies through a 300-hour YogaWorks Teacher Training. She also completed a Yin Yoga Teacher Training with David Kim in December 2017. A lifelong student at heart, she continues to explore yoga through ongoing training and workshops, always curious about the body, the mind, and everything in between.

Her teaching reflects who she is—grounded but playful, mindful but real. She is passionate about creating a welcoming space where students of all levels can feel comfortable and inspired to explore their practice. Expect classes that invite you to move, breathe, notice, and maybe even smile when things wobble—there’s no pressure to be perfect, just room to show up as you are.

Off the mat, Dorina’s love for movement shows up in many forms. She practices capoeira, takes dance and calisthenics classes, and enjoys exploring rhythm through playing her darbuka. When the weather allows, she’s out on her motorcycle, embracing the freedom of the open road—and often combining that passion with purpose by taking part in charity rides to support meaningful causes.

Dorina feels deeply grateful to share yoga with others and hopes that everyone who steps into her class leaves feeling a little stronger, lighter, and more connected—to themselves and to the present moment. Alongside her yoga teaching, she is also a certified Usui Reiki Master Teacher.
