DONNA GROSS JAVEL
IYENGAR/ALIGN FACULTY
Donna is a certified Iyengar Teacher, Ropes expert and professional pianist and piano teacher.
From the very first moment Donna entered an Iyengar yoga class, she was hooked. As a pianist, she found herself pondering how yoga with no sound could reach her as deeply as music. To find out, she decided to enroll in Down Under's Iyengar yoga teacher training program and after mentoring with Peentz Dubble for over 500 hours, she became a certified teacher. She considers the influence of Nadja Refaie, Patricia Walden and others to be formative.
Donna now divides her time between teaching her two great passions: piano and yoga. Through teaching, Donna guides her students to connect with their inner selves more deeply so that they can live their lives more fully. Known for her ability to always see a 'silver lining', Donna's thoughtful sequencing, detailed instructions, and joy is her signature. She hopes to guide all her students to find acceptance where they are in the present moment and to challenge them to reach their fullest potential.
