University Staff

Donna Winters, Director

Donna Winters received her certification from White Lotus Foundation. She has been teaching in the Columbus area since 1999, currently focusing her teaching at her studio, Balanced Yoga. Her experience includes developing her own teacher training program and a chair yoga program initially designed to address the needs of individuals in Cardio Pulmonary Rehabilitation. Eventually including others with physical limitations—recovering from strokes, in cardiac rehab, overweight, or recovering from injuries. Donna’s comprehensive understanding of anatomy and the way the human body moves results in wonderfully creative classes which encourage students to take their practice to heights they may not have thought possible. Donnas passion for education keeps her pushing her knowledge of the body, mind and yoga forward through advanced yoga teacher training and college level anatomy and psychology coursework.
