Reduce stress and anxiety, increase relaxation

Meditation can help us reduce stress and anxiety; and offer profound feelings of relaxation, ease, and well-being. But the latest neuroscience shows that consistency is key.

With a personal meditation coach as your accountability partner, enjoy the benefits for your body and mind (new research shows that meditation slows the aging of the brain and affects our genetic expression).

After a few months of working together, one of Dina’s clients said he was now waking up without anxiety — for the first time in his life.

  • “Dina has a unique ability to make each person feel like she is speaking directly to them. Her ability to communicate complex teachings to diverse groups is a testament to both her fundamental understanding of the practice and each specific student’s needs.”

    – Josh Tenenbaum

  • "Dina is a wonderful meditation teacher. She has infectious, positive energy. Her workshops and classes are fun and always informative.”

    — Mickey Lemle, film director and producer

  • "I had never meditated before and didn’t think I could sit for a seated meditation. But The Path founder Dina Kaplan said she could get me to sit and - low and behold she was right. With her guidance, I was able to go quite deep even on my first real meditation."

    – Leah Oppenheimer

  • “Dina is an experienced, thoughtful, energetic and encouraging leader! I thoroughly enjoyed her meditation teachings and tutelage. She is kind, compassionate and creative and I hope to have other opportunities in the future to be a part of her Path!”

    – Cheryl Einhorn, Author and Founder

 
 

Train your mind for focus, productivity, compassion, or gratitude

Just as we can train our bodies at the gym, we can train our minds — for anything we want to accomplish or feel. Meditation is also powerful at teaching the mind to live in the present moment so we can live our actual lives, rather than living in the dream world in our minds.

Dina can also help you train your mind to live with compassion for yourself and others; and to shift from focusing on what you lack to live instead with gratitude for what you have.

 
 

Increase feelings of well-being

The Buddha’s message could be summarized as — we suffer (or feel dissatisfaction) until we train our mind and take steps to live with freedom. Dina is passionate about shifting people towards feeling that the world supports them; and realizing we can all take tangible steps to live with more joy and delight.

The latest neuroscience, according to University of Wisconsin researcher Richie Davidson, shows that meditation increases feelings of well-being, and your sessions will be designed to help you to this feeling of agency and joy.

 
 

A meditation teacher focused on you

Like a personal trainer for the mind, enjoy having an experienced mindfulness teacher focus on your well-being, training and honing your mind for whatever you want to optimize for. Dina works with top entertainers, professional poker players, and CEOs, because she adapts to what is most important for you — for your mind and your life, in each session together.

Dina can guide meditations for you, support your own practice, teach wisdom on practical steps to move towards freedom and joy, or use her intuition to help you solve questions in your life.

  • “Dina's demeanor was remarkable – she exuded warmth, humor, and genuine compassion. Her wealth of knowledge made the topic of meditation approachable and inclusive, catering to individuals at all levels of experience. Thanks to Dina's expertise, meditation felt accessible and non-intimidating to everyone present.”

    – Amy Compero, CareerPlug

  • “I literally got three thank you messages as soon as it was over. It was fantastic, thanks again and can’t wait for the next one.”

    — Micah Rosenbloom, Founder Collective

  • “We loved working with Dina for our leadership retreat this summer. Dina was warm and approachable while clearly an expert in her field. She gave us many practical tips for infusing mindfulness into our work and life, and the actual meditation she led us through was extremely powerful."

    – Nikki Scott, TikTok

 
 

Find intuition

The Buddha said we are our own greatest teacher, and by calming your mind with meditation, Dina can help you tap into your own intuition, to help you come to answers in your life.

Vipassana is the Pali (language of Buddhism) translation of ‘insight’, and Dina can guide you in meditations known to provide insights.

Dina can also teach you how to do these meditations on your own — she loves helping people access their own intuition.

 
 

Structure

Dina can follow her intuition each day on what to guide you and help you with. Or you can share what you are looking for, and she can design a program for you; or you can ask questions during each session about your practice or anything coming up in your personal or professional life.

If you are new to meditation, Dina can also take you through our powerful 30 Days to Meditator course, designed to teach people to meditate on their own — for the rest of their lives.
