Dina discovered Bikram Yoga in 2004, while living in NYC; Instantly she was hooked. She loved how the heat and specific postures opened up her body, which was a huge benefit to her dance career. Immediately after her first class she looked up how to become an instructor; she knew it was in her cards! After 10 years of practicing she finally became a certified Bikram Yoga instructor, in 2012. While living in Los Angles Castelluccio began teaching at Bikram Yoga Manhattan Beach and Bikram Yoga Hermosa Beach. Her next journey gave her the opportunity to travel internationally, where she had the pleasure of teaching in Rome, Italy at Bikram Yoga Roma. Finally settling back in CT, Dina currently is the co-owner and director of CT Dance Conservatory. Her dancers and award winning choreography have been seen at various Regional Dance Competitions, The Phoenix Rising Shakespeare Festival, The AIM Invitational, LIVFree’s Winter Wonderland event and Stratford CT’s Pumpkin festival to name a few.
