About this offering
Join us for a Wild morning of Yoga and Wild swimming surrounded and held by nature.
A morning of connecting, movement, nourishing, rebalancing and relaxing. An invitation to gift yourself time, space, for yourself…this thing that we struggle to create easily.
You can choose to take part in everything throughout the gathering, or just simply take time out in this special space to relax. We want you to feel supported, held and completely at ease.
September always gives me that “new term” feeling, a chance to refresh as we move from the long summer days and adventures of the summer, into the darker nights, cooler days.
Autumn Equinox brings an invitation to reflect on the summer months, all the memories made and blessings we have received. A time to be grateful and thankful for what we have achieved and grown over the summer.

I’m new to yoga, is this class suitable?
All our classes are designed to make everyone feel welcome.
All classes are fun movement based classes, meaning we flow with the body through a sequence that is fun and creative. As always in yoga we listen to the body and take it where it needs in that moment. I offer assists and modifications to allow the practice to be enjoyed by everyone. Vinyasa does involve getting up and down off the floor, it is a slightly stronger yoga class than some of my other offerings so please get in touch if you have any questions.
This is my first class with you, anything I should know?

Testimonials
What my students say
Donna really is the most amazing yoga teacher. She has the most lovely wholistic approach to her classes, embracing both the physical and spiritual aspects of yoga. She is mindful of her students and offers careful modifications so each person can access her class, along with a great balance of encouragement to push yourself and to try your best. Not only is she extremely knowledgeable about yoga, she is always learning and is very generous with sharing her findings about yoga and it’s historical background. My mind and body benefit hugely from my weekly fix of Donna’s class! Highly recommended 🙏🏻

I have been attending Donna’s yoga class for around 2years + it’s become a permanent fixture in my life.
Donna is an excellent teacher, knowledgeable and passionate about yoga. This is evident throughout her classes. Her enthusiasm is infectious, her compassion heartwarming.
She is particularly mindful of how different we all are in our ability and mobility, tailoring her classes so we all can challenge yourselves, whilst making it clear to listen to our bodies.
There is never a sense of competition, which I love, we are encouraged to go at our own pace. That’s why, as Donna would say, its ‘Yoga practce’ not ‘Yoga perfect’
