My Story

Dinah Akua, a Senegalese-German wellness entrepreneur, embodies a profound commitment to guiding individuals on transformative journeys of self-discovery and healing. As the founder of WATA Movement, formerly Afro Yoga, Dinah brings over a decade of teaching experience, nurturing not only bodies but also spirits. She is more than a teacher; she is a mother, a womanist, a storyteller, and a creative.

Drawing from her personal journey of learning, unlearning, and healing from multiple traumas, Dinah offers a unique depth of understanding and compassion in her teachings. Certified in Hatha Vinyasa Yoga, Kemetic Yoga, and Pregnancy Yoga, her expertise transcends physical practice, embracing holistic wellness and spiritual growth. Continually expanding her knowledge through studies in Kemetic Reiki, African Spirituality, and Tantric Yoga, Dinah is committed to upholding the highest standards of teaching and learning as a registered member and continuing education provider of Yoga Alliance.

My Approach

Dinah’s approach is holistic, integrating indigenous wisdom and African spirituality into every aspect of her teachings. She blends breathwork, gentle body activation, organic movement, and meditation to create a sacred space for you to reconnect with your essence.

Coming from a trauma-informed and decolonial approach, Dinah deeply understands the transformative power of these practices. She guides you on a journey of self-discovery and healing, helping you embrace your true self and live a life filled with deep connection.
