Remembering the Body: Yoga Beyond the Individual
online workshop series for continued education
yoga isn’t meant to be something used to escape the world…
It’s meant to be a way to meet it more honestly
In this workshop series, we explore yoga as a deeply embodied practice - one that invites us back into the body as a site of awareness, memory, resilience, and transformation.
One that helps is remember that our bodies are not separate from the world around us. They are shaped by history, culture, trauma, and privilege. And yet, so much of modern yoga doesn’t teach this, or worse - asks us to subtly (or not so subtly) transcend or bypass these realities.
This space offers something different. Together, we will explore what it means to stay.
To stay present with what lives in the body. To recognise and unlearn inherited patterns and conditioning. To gently decolonise the ways we relate to ourselves, our bodies, the practice, and each other.
We inquire into what it means to act from an embodied place - where our choices, our rest, and our expression are rooted in integrity rather than performance.
This comes from a personal belief that real wellbeing is not something we achieve alone. It is relational. It is political. It is collective.
Come join as we learn and unlearn, for sake of our work, our practice and our communities.

Dina Ghandour is a Palestinian healer, yoga teacher, and guide based in Dubai, UAE. She is deeply passionate about women’s health, energy, movement, and the decolonisation of wellness. Dina creates thoughtful, compassionate, and nurturing spaces where participants are invited to show up fully and be held as their whole, beautifully imperfect selves.
She is a 300-hour certified Jivamukti Yoga teacher, certified Birth Doula, Usui Reiki Master, and Womb and Fertility Massage Therapist. Her work bridges embodied practice, energy medicine, and spiritual inquiry, offering a holistic approach to healing that is both grounded and intuitive.
Dina teaches weekly yoga classes and offers one-to-one bodywork and energy healing sessions alongside experiential workshops in conscious touch, hands-on assisting, massage, and subtle energy work. She has facilitated over 20 international retreats, weaving together yoga, meditation, and now decolonial perspectives to support personal and collective transformation.
Rooted in a deep connection to spirit and community, Dina’s work is shaped by the lived experiences and needs that arise within the spaces she holds. She believes that individual healing is inseparable from our collective liberation and that wellness must engage both the inner and the social body.
Most recently, she is studying decolonising spirituality under the guidance of Dr. Rocío Rosales Mesa, expanding her ongoing exploration of how ancestral wisdom, energy, and embodied practices can restore wholeness in a world marked by disconnection.
