Yoga is the journey of the self, through the self, to the self.

Welcome to Yoga Don, I offer yoga classes for all levels in London & online!

Welcome, I'm Alex Donaldson or “Don”

I am a yoga teacher and somatic movement practitioner and began practising yoga 15 years ago, finding it an incredibly powerful antidote to hectic London life. One of my main aims as a yoga teacher is to foster an environment where you feel safe to release and reconnect to yourself. I see the mat as a space that can enhance the spiritual, mental and physical context for your body and mind to move off the mat and into the world with beauty, strength and conviction.

I am a mover and artist at heart: my practice integrates varying yoga lineages, intelligent playful sequencing, curious somatic movement, breathwork and meditative tools. Art and nature form the framework of my teaching with the four elements underpinning all classes. I approach the body as the conduit between Earth and Sky and in-between the two we move. We work with the elements of Earth, Water, Fire and Air in order to cultivate certain physical and emotional qualities during the class. At the heart of my teaching is an invitation to listen to the rhythms of the body and notice how this is mirrored through the natural world that surrounds us.

I love working one-on-one with clients and hold a therapeutic space, listening and responding to each client in an intuitive and bespoke way.

“I’ve been taking different lessons all my life and I can easily say, there are not two Dons out there. Don has this insane gift of always knowing what’s best for your body, soul, and mind even when you don’t, and communicates in a way you can relate to and embrace.

I found Don to be a fully committed person who helped me understand Yoga from scratch, respected my learning process and always pushed me for more.”

Trace the river of life that flows through you,
The luxuriously rising energies,
Gradually kissing each of the centres,
Along the spine.

Savour every shimmer of colour along the way.
Enter each area tenderly, loving as you go,
And then finally gently, 
dissolving in the crown of your head.

Then above, in the space above the head,
The great dawn.

THE RADIANCE SUTRAS

Studio Don : Elemental practice at home with alex

I created STUDIO DON to make embodied movement accessible whenever you need it. It's a gentle online space where you can explore trauma-informed yoga practices inspired by the elements, helping you reconnect with your body through movement, breath and mindful awareness.
