About Dorinda

Dorinda’s teaching style helps students focus on intention and alignment. She is dedicated to sharing the wisdom of her teachers with a focus on gentle invitations for transformation.  Her classes are designed to help students explore their practice in a supportive and safe setting. Her purpose is to help students experience this ancient practice in a way that reveals its wisdom, and ease.  

Dorinda’s love of yoga comes through in her devotion and reverence for yoga’s complex lineage and is balanced with humor so that students leave class feeling refreshed with clear minds and energized bodies.
