DONNA JOHNSON

I grew up in Saugus, I started my exercise journey at age nineteen. Overthe years I belonged to many exercise studios and gyms. I was basicallyhappy with my workouts, but I felt like there was something more. A friend brought me to a hot yoga class and I loved it!! January of 2009 I found hot, power, vinyasa yoga at Empower in Beverly, my life changed!

At first I noticed the physical changes then the real magic started to happen. As I was allowing the yoga “in” and I started to heal some wounds, I was hooked!Fast forward to the fall of 2012 I enrolled in Empower Yoga’s 200 hour Teacher Training. I wanted to share what I had found in the power yoga practice with others. I graduated in April 2013, and have been teaching since then. Both on & off the mat, yoga has been integrated into my life.  Through the breath, the strength & physicality of the poses and the spiritual messages I receive, I feel complete.  I've said that I found yoga, but in truth, I think that yoga found me! I live in Wenham with my husband Barry and sons Kyle and Casey. We spend summers in Windham, NH at Cobbetts pond.  Beside being a yoga teacher, I am a stylist at The Haircutters in Wakefield.
