Donna Takeuchi

(Prenatal, Postnatal)

Donna has a background in gymnastics, where she both competed and coached. She came to yoga as a means to retain strength, balance, and discipline in her life.

Donna has certification as a yoga instructor through Ana Forrest and Shari Friedrichsen and has been teaching since 1999, working primarily at the Seattle Holistic Center with Collette Crawford. She also has trained with Deb Flashenberg in prenatal yoga. She became inspired to teach prenatal after discovering the benefits of yoga during her own pregnancy. She used the valuable tools learned in yoga to guide her through pregnancy and childbirth, and continues to rely on those tools in motherhood. Donna teaches from her own experiences and encourages every woman in her class to tap into her own unique strength. Donna’s classes use breath and postures to prepare women, both physically and emotionally, for the journey of pregnancy and childbirth.

Donna is the proud mother of Cassidy.
