Bio
Donna’s teaching journey began like most great things in her life: Randomly & completely out of nowhere. She began yoga purely for weight loss purposes over 10 years ago and quickly fell in love with not only the physical strength she developed, but the mental strength as well. The amazing power of yoga became very apparent to her during her struggle with postpartum depression/anxiety after having her 1stchild. She found it was the only thing that would help her shut her brain off and help her feel like herself during that scattered time.

On seeing the amazing healing qualities, she decided the next step on her path was to sign up for yoga teacher training…which of course, she did last minute and also while having no clue she would be pregnant the entire duration of the training. She received her 200 hour Prana yoga certification on June 28th, 2015 (and subsequently gave birth on June 29th).

Through teaching Donna has evolved a passion for sharing the mindset work she herself has experienced since the beginning of her yoga journey. She tries to weave lessons through her classes, planting seeds for her students to discover their inner greatness (that we all tend to shy away from). She has led workshops in Body Acceptance, Raising your vibe, “Resetting for the season” and Setting intentions. She finds the expansions, perspectives and shifts that she’s experienced from mindset work is nothing short of life altering.
