Your Yoga Teacher Trainers
DONATELLA HEYWORTH​
​
Donatella first stepped onto a yoga mat many moons ago in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles. From the moment the teacher started guiding the class through the pranayama and asanas whilst turning up the heat and encouraging the class to listen to their bodies, Donatella knew that yoga would always be apart of her life. She came from an active background, running and performing on stage so movement and body connection had always been in her body. After just 6 months of practicing daily in the Heat Donatella signed up for her 1st Yoga Teacher Training Course a 200 Hour Hot Power Yoga at Hot 8 Yoga, Beverly Hills. 12 months later Donatella completed her second 200hr hot yoga Teacher Training in the 26+2 sequence at the same studio.
​
Fast Forward over a decade and Donatella is back in the UK, married with a young family and is a full time yoga teacher. She has her own classes, teaches at studios and has had the incredible opportunity to now mentor and guide students through their own Yoga Teacher Training Course. Prior to heading over to Beverly Hills for 4 years Donatella loved her job as a a qualified Trainer, teaching a variety of customer care, inductions and sales training courses. She cannot believe how life has brought her back full circle in a role she loves teaching a subject that pulses through her veins. Donatella loves teaching a variety of classes, but her favourite are the ones where the music is a little louder, the movement a little more fluid and the energy is playful and fun. See you on the mat. Love and light.
​
Donatella will be your lead asana teachers.
