Mastering Simplicity Series
A Subscription Program
Offer up every joy,
be awake at all moments to the news
that is always arriving
out of silence.
~ Rainer Maria Rilke
These recorded classes invite you into a journey of transformation where practice shifts from doing more to discovering what truly matters. Rather than filling your time with endless techniques, you’ll be guided toward the simplicity of practices that restore clarity, vitality, and calm.
As you take part in this ongoing series, you may notice how superfluous yoga postures naturally fall away, while a handful of essential practices rise to the surface as steady companions in your life. These become trusted launch-pads for balance and resilience, both on and off the mat. Each new class builds upon what has come before, supporting you in steadily deepening your understanding and weaving the benefits into daily life.
Together we will explore foundational (‘seed’) asana, somatic explorations, Restorative postures, and breathing practices—each one adaptable, nourishing, and designed to help you craft a practice

You’re also able to share questions and insights with Donna and your peers in our private online community, Connect, deepening not only your practice but also your sense of belonging.
Over time, the continuing flow of monthly classes becomes a rhythm of renewal—providing fresh inspiration, space for reflection, and an ever-growing library of resources you can return to whenever you need grounding or uplifting. By committing to this subscription, you invest not just in a single course but in a living, evolving practice that continues to support you.
By the end of the series, you will carry with you a practice that is simpler yet more profound, one that can steady your body, calm your mind, and renew your spirit.
