Dima Bosko: With over 20 years immersed in yoga, spiritual inquiry, and psychological healing, Dima has devoted her life to understanding the human experience. Her path led her back to the body and somatic practices, because she understood that true healing comes when we live from our felt experience. Dima has traveled internationally and studied with elders, embodiment experts and yoga masters, grounding her in both the philosophical and physical dimensions of yoga. She brings a trauma informed lens to the practice, rooted not only in years of study but in her own lived journey through anxiety, addiction and PTSD. This lived experience allows her to hold a space that is safe, inclusive, and gentle, where emotional healing and nervous system regulation can unfold in the most natural way. Dima's approach blends modern tools like the Dynamic Neural Retraining System and the Gene Keys with ancient technologies including mantra, breathwork, and asana. Her aim is to help others come home to themselves through contacting the sacred intelligence that lives within.
