“My first introduction to yoga was in Donna's class. I was intimidated, but felt yoga would strengthen me in ways I needed. She leads every class with her heart and does an amazing job changing things up so that there is an element of surprise each time. I turned to yoga because I wanted to align more with my body and slow it down (after years of being an avid runner who just pounded on my knees and body!) What I discovered is that while slowing my body down on the mat, I slowed my mind down too. This peaceful, lower volume flows into the rest of my day. My kids tell me I'm more patient. Donna has a natural light about her and it shines through in her practice. “

This is the page where I share a picture of me with my kids and dog.
I have neither picture, however, because my son is a teen and would rather clean lint out of the dryer vent with a toothpick than have me share his picture on my website. Same for my partner in life. And I don’t have a dog because I’m almost never in any one place for long. Which means sometimes I resort to speaking to my plants. Don’t judge.
What I DO have many pictures of is nature, because I spend so much time there.
Which is how I’ve come to feel down to the core of my being how connected we all are to what she offers. When we forget that connection, we stop taking care of our natural resources and when we stop taking care of resources, we collectively suffer.
With more than 500 hours of certified yoga training and additional training in reiki, meditation, hospice care, trauma healing, and laughter yoga, I create classes that balance conscious breath, functional movement, strength, community, play, gratitude, restorative healing, and self-empowerment. Because we’ve been told what to do most of our lives, I invite students to tune into their own intuitive sense so they begin to recognize what their bodies need. I strive to not talk much so that you have the space to grow.
Note: sometimes I’m not very good at this. Especially after caffeine.
