Donna first discovered yoga in 1993 in Sydney and followed a few different styles but it wasn't until returning to Perth a few years later that she began to look more into health & well being and the benefits of yoga. In early 2003 she found Ashtanga and started practicing earnestly with Rebecca Gilby , a vibrant and talented Ashtangi who ingited a spark that has not only burned brighter , but allowed her to follow the path into teaching as well . A dedicated and committed yogi , Donna's daily practice began in 2006 and she has furthered her studies by practicing with many renowned Australian and International Yoga teachers , both here and overseas . She found her Ashtanga home at Yoga Om and has been practicing for the past 5 years under the guidance of Moksha , completing her teacher training in 2010 . Her approach is warm and lighthearted with a sense of fun and she encourages her students to be challenged in both mind and body . Donna is also a qualified Kids Yoga teacher and has taught toddlers to teens and is currently the resident Yoga teacher at the boarding house at Perth college Anglican school .
" Yoga for me is about finding a balance for the mind , body and spirit . My practice on the mat is my guide for what moves me outside the studio .
I still consider myself a part time teacher and a lifetime student . I feel blessed to be a part of this yoga community here at Yoga Om."
