"With over two decades of living and teaching Yoga, Ayurveda and Tantra, Dini’s life journey is all about sharing these tools and her journey through Shamanic circles, Vedic Astrology readings and across her global teacher training and retreats. Cultivating peace in this world has arisen much more from the inner transformation Dini has practiced, cultivated and facilitated, than during her years working for the UN and so-called ‘sustainable development’ projects in Peru, Vietnam and other parts of the world.

Dini mostly lives on a boat with her family sailing the seven seas and immersing herself in different indigenous traditions. She speaks seven languages and home/boat-schools her three children. Born in Europe, she has spent the global lockdown back in her spirit home Australia sitting with and learning from Aboriginal elders and medicine women, as well as rebuilding her personal herbal apothecary and permaculture garden. In her free time, you’ll find her surfing, writing poetry, dancing and playing her guitar. With the coming of the Aquarian Age, she’s hearing her calling back to her heartland of Latin America to reunite with her Mayan and Aztec sister power from several lifetimes ago.

After decades of shedding old stories towards the journey of pure presence and bliss, she’s immersed herself more and more into Tantric ways helping individuals, couples and groups to come back to love and live life more fully. In her retreats and teacher training, Yoga still forms the base to come into a healthy body and quieten a busy mind to come back home to self. However, all the other ways which have become part of her journey and expression also make a strong appearance and lasting imprint. She’s excited to hold space for and with the ones who are feeling the call to deep transformation and connecting with spirit whilst staying grounded in the human form. See you when the stars align?"

Teaching Specialties

As a teacher, Dini is present, authentic and adjusts to what’s needed at the moment. With a tool bag of not only yoga but tantric ways, shamanic practices, Ayurvedic understanding and astrological knowledge, as well decades of offering Reiki and Doula services, Dini is able to hold space in many ways. Her teachings are founded on a solid understanding of anatomy in both the physical body, as well as mental, emotional, energetic and spiritual realms. A strong vinyasa flow is just as likely to feature in her retreats, as a slow and soothing yin with transformational hands-on adjustments, myofascial work, emotional release session, partner practices, silent meditations, bush-immersions, shamanic sharing circles and an evening of tantric dance. All come together to make you feel more whole, to allow the heart to open once again, to come back to self.

What are your favorite Retreat Venues around the world

Given I'm a nomadic soul and traveller and live mostly on a boat, I run most retreats in different countries. The first centre that comes to mind though upon reading this question is definitely is Hacienda Cristoforo on the Canary Islands. Other beautiful spaces I wouldn't mind going back to is Palm Tree Yoga in Kerala, India, and Free Spirit's Yoga Retreat in the Dalian Delta in Turkey where I ran my first one week retreat almost a decade ago.

What's your personal definition of what it means to thrive?

To not just survive, but live to your soul's full purpose (dharma). When you thrive a sparkle will shine again in your eyes. It reflects the stardust that we are all made up of - the oneness in all.

Who do you look up to ? Who has helped you the most along your teacher / retreat leader journey?

Although I've had amazing teachers in various aspects of yoga and anatomy, beautiful shamans and amazing tantric goddesses share their knowledge with me, my most real and transformative teachers is Mother Earth and the oceans whom I've spent countless hours with listening to their quiet yet incessant beat... as well as my students, my children, my closest family and friends and life itself.
