Dina Kallinteris

Dina Kallinteris, 200 CYT, first found yoga in 2003 in the basement of an old art shop on South Street in Philadelphia. What began as curiosity quickly became a lifelong practice—one that helped her navigate, heal, and grow through the changing seasons of life.

As a licensed psychotherapist, Dina witnessed the profound impact yoga can have on emotional health and mental well-being. This led her to pursue a specialized certification in Yoga Therapy, where she learned to weave therapeutic principles into movement and breath.

Alongside teaching yoga, Dina runs a private psychotherapy practice devoted to holistic mental health and healing. In both settings, she holds space for compassion, curiosity, and connection—inviting others to slow down, listen inward, and rediscover their innate capacity to heal.

This class is inspired by the seated stretches portion of the Ashtanga primary series. We will begin with sun salutations (vinyasas) to warm up the body and move into seated poses to stretch, twist and fold ourselves with the intention of building into deeper expression of poses overtime. *There will be an option to take vinyasa (sun salutation) between each stretch to keep the body warm and remove toxins from stored up tension.
*Suitable for all levels.
*Individuals with difficulty getting up/down are welcome to attend and will be offered gentle modifications for the vinyasa portion.
This class is highly recommended to all who are seeking more flexibility for a peaceful mind and body.
