ABOUT ME
Hi, I'm Donna— a sound practitioner, yoga guide, and ocean soul on a lifelong journey of healing, self-discovery, and empowerment.
For years, I carried the invisible weight of trauma, low self-esteem, and disconnection. My path wasn’t linear — it was full of waves, both literal and emotional. But somewhere between the stillness of a sound bath, the breath of a yoga pose, and the power of paddling out into the sea, I began to come home to myself.
Today, I hold space for others to do the same.
WHAT I OFFER
Sound Healing
Immerse in the vibrations of crystal bowls, gongs, and other healing instruments — a practice that calms the mind, supports trauma release, and reconnects you to your inner stillness.
Yoga & Embodiment
My yoga sessions are slow, intuitive, and rooted in safety. Each class invites you to meet yourself with compassion and curiosity, exactly as you are.
Mindful Surfing
Surfing is my soul language. Whether you’re stepping onto a board for the first time or seeking a more embodied experience in the water, I guide sessions that are playful, healing, and empowering.

Frequently asked questions
Are there any pre-requisites for taking yoga classes? Do you offer any yoga for beginners?
There are no pre-requisites for our classes, and you are welcome—and encouraged—to explore any class you wish. However, we do offer some classes and series that are designed for people who are new to yoga, regardless of their fitness background.
If I've never done any yoga before, which classes should I go to?
No worries! If you are completely new to yoga, we have a lot of ongoing weekly classes that are perfect for beginners. They are also great for intermediate/advanced students who are interested in revisiting the basics or introducing a slower, gentler quality to their practice.
In general, we encourage our students to explore a wide range of classes and find out which ones best suit your needs and interests.
Do I need to be flexible and/or in good shape to do yoga? What benefits can I expect?
You do not need to be flexible, fit or any particular way to start practicing yoga. Yoga can certainly help you get more flexible, stronger and less stressed out. People report experiencing a variety of benefits after practicing yoga; it supports every system in the body (muscular, skeletal, digestive, nervous…you name it!) and many practitioners notice changes after a single class. You may feel less stressed, more centered, and deeply grounded after a single hour of yoga, and with a long-term, regular practices, the benefits accrue exponentially. The practice builds strength, stability, flexibility, and stamina, and can prepare you for (or support you in) other active things that you do like for example, SURFING. Yoga also includes elements of mindfulness and breath awareness that work wonders in terms of relaxation and stress relief. It can provide you with tools to achieve more peace and well-being in every facet of your life.

"Donna’s gentle yoga class has been the perfect way for me to unwind after a long day at work. I like the way she switches up her sequences and I always walk away from her classes learning something new. I’ve enjoyed her online, in person, and sunset yoga on the beach classes. I am excited to see what she offers next, Thanks Donna. "

""I recently attended Donna’s gratitude sound bath and was deeply moved by the experience. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming and serene. Donna’s expertly created a space of peace and positive energy, making it incredibly easy to let go of daily stresses and truly focus on gratitude. The harmonious sounds of the crystal bowls and gong, rain stick, koshi chimes and tingsa bells washed over me, a truly unique and meditative experience. It was a beautiful reminder to pause and appreciate the present moment. I left the session feeling refreshed, centered, and filled with a profound sense of calm and well-being. If you are looking for a gentle yet powerful way to practice mindfulness and self-care, I highly recommend Donna’s sound baths. She is so kind and thoughtful, and pours her heart in all of her offerings. It is truly a gift to yourself that you won't regret. Thank you so much Donna for creating such a nurturing and supportive environment! I can’t wait for the next one!" xoxo ~Izzie"

""The Fall equinox soundbath with Donna was amazing! It was held at a perfect time, with her guiding me to set my intentions in welcoming Autumn. She has a way in her that makes you feel very comfortable, especially helpful when you need to destress! My favorite part was the crystal bowls and I cannot wait for the next one!""

"My partner recommended Donna’s practice since Donna has lots of surf experience as well. She took the time to understand my level and not speed me up through poses. I like her chill, unpretentious practice and positive vibe! Def will have more sessions. "

""I love everything about Donna’s class. I like that she isn’t forceful and simply “instructs”. She meets you where you are at and gives you the space to grow and learn. Just hearing her voice makes me calm and at peace, from that core of her existence, I am able to benefit from what yoga teachings has to offer. Just wonderful, Donna!""
