Veteran instructor Tina Langdok has taught yoga and mindfulness for nearly three decades.  Tina’s international studies include accreditation from Spain’s Mindful Academy International and her work with Integrated Yoga Therapy has been recognized by professionals and students throughout the United States, Europe, Costa Rica, and Kenya.

“The healing benefits of yoga and mindfulness are well recognized,” says Tina.  “In an effort to overcome physical and emotional challenges, I began a practice over forty years ago that I continue to this day.  Curiosity and compassion are part of the process.”

The energy body – which the ancient teachers called Prana - has been the focus for Tina’s study and teaching throughout her professional life.  Tina incorporated Prana and the power of breath into her son’s journey to overcome cancer in 1993 and she continues that work today with a variety of clients that include Dr. Scott Stieber.  Following a diagnosis with ALS, Dr. Scott’s work with Tina is chronicled in the acclaimed short documentary Pizza & Prana.  Tina uses the practice of Prana with clients who have neurological disorders as well as those who struggle with food, sleep, grief, anxiety, and emotional distress.

An avid traveler, Tina can often be found teaching and experiencing new knowledge in remote parts of Peru, Kenya, Costa Rica and Nicaragua.  A trustee for Kenya’s Loisaba Community Conservation Fund, Tina makes visits annual visits to work with a Maasai women’s empowerment group called The Chui Mamas.  Tina holds an undergraduate degree in Biology and a Masters Degree in Spanish.
