Wellness Wednesday With Dina Khiary

Wake up your joints and stretch into spring as Dina Khiary (a.k.a. Dina K) returns to The Church for the next Wellness Wednesday. On February 21, at 10 a.m., Join Khiary in meditation and movement as she guides participants through some gentle joint work and stretches that promote good posture and mobility.

“We need to first establish a conscious awareness of how we embody our physical bodies,” says Khiary. “When we take full responsibility for how we think and feel in our bodies then we can start working toward a healthier, more balanced existence. Taking action from that empowered state makes it much more likely to heal and transform our being.”

The Church’s Wellness Wednesdays harness the wealth of experience and expertise of the local area, which is rich in wellness leaders, and offers it back to the community. This new series celebrates and explores one’s creative self, centering on personal wellness in mind, body, and spirit. From yoga to gong immersions to lectures and conversations and beyond, Wellness Wednesdays occur the third Wednesday of every month at 10 a.m., with a different iteration each time.

Dina Khiary is a certified yoga instructor with over 800 hours of training and 20 years of teaching. She is also a certified NASM Personal Trainer and Thai masseuse, having studied at the TMC School of Massage in Thailand. Using a wide range of fitness modalities — with a focus on body awareness and corrective exercises — she accommodates for the unique and changing needs of her clients. Khiary has lived and worked in Jordan, Beirut, Dubai; New York, and now lives in Sag Harbor.

Tickets are $10 (members free) at thechurchsagharbor.org. The Church is at 48 Madison Street in Sag Harbor.
