About Dominique
Dominique Farina began her personal yoga and meditation practice at age 17 following her father passing away unexpectedly and her Brother getting caught in addiction. Over the years, Dominique has watched her heart soften and open in profound ways through her dedication to self-discovery, meditation, and yoga. 15 years later, Dominique is now a 500hr yoga teacher, a breathwork facilitator, Reiki master, and is trained in Mindfulness Meditation under Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach. She has found after multiple 10day silent meditation retreats and studying under different teachers and lineages, that each individual is capable of carving their own path to cultivate healing and peace in their lives and that her purpose here on earth is to help share the various modalities that have helped her along the way, whether that be through deep listening, lending a hand, sharing waves in the ocean, reiki healing, or teaching yoga/meditation.
Dominique is passionate about sharing in creative and innovative ways and enjoys offering the teachings in a wide variety of settings. She offers classes, retreats, and collaborations in an effort to make the teachings accessible to a wider range of people and to spread the word that you can truly find mindfulness and healing anywhere. She is currently one of the coordinators and teachers at the Yoga Farm, and offers Mindfulness Meditation to Adolescents at Intergrated Care Concepts along with the community of ‘Ohana Rising Yoga Studio and Asbury Yoga. Dominique teaches meditation for non-profit organizations, companies and offers private sessions online and in person to the Coastal New Jersey Area for individuals/small groups seeking to learn how to Practice Yoga, Meditation &/or how to more fully integrate mindfulness into their daily lives.
