Donvieve has worked as an artist/educator in many domains for the past 35 years. She has always enjoyed nurturing her body, mind and spirit and sharing it through the creative mediums of theatre, dance and yoga. This naturally evolved from a childhood that was nourished by these self-expressions… profoundly affecting her life style, health, and the desire to share this joy and passion for life with others.

She began studying yoga when she was in her teens and fell in love with the practice as it cultivated in her vibrant health and well-being. Her commitment to the practice of yoga and meditation kindled the desire to share with others, so she completed the Anusara Yoga Immersion and teacher training with Inner Freedom Yoga. She was so inspired by the results she was seeing in the training and in her own life, that she decided to offer yoga classes after work for employees at a small business to help them relax, stretch and become more peaceful.

Many months into it, these classes have become a sanctuary where employees look forward to practicing yoga and ending the day relaxed. These classes have also inspired her to create ‘Have Yoga will Travel’ (a yoga practice for local firms to be proactive in taking care of their employees mental and physical health.)

She says, “As we open our hearts to our divine beauty and recognize the light within, a ripple is generated in the universe. We can all make a profound difference in the world by opening our hearts to this infinite light by sharing it. This is yoga, the union of mind, body and soul.”
