Donna Sewall Davidge/Amrita

Keenly interested in health, healing and learning, Donna Sewall Davidge is a lifelong yoga practitioner (starting age 18) and spiritual seeker. She has taught various forms of yoga and meditation since 1985 in New York City, primarily as a result of her own journey of using these tools to help her face mental, physical and emotional challenges throughout life. For 12 years she was the yoga columnist for a New England publication called Inner Tapestry. In her memoir she weaves her love of nature with lessons she has learned, and continues to explore, with the teaching journey and the journey of purchasing an ancestral historic home. She transformed the home into a healing retreat, established in 1997 in remote northern Maine. She loves telling stories and learning from others' stories. Donna holds a Masters in Nutrition, has created yoga products and believes strongly that the heart is the leader in the adventure called life, with its risks, rewards and ongoing lessons. She has a popular Chakra series on Daily Om, offering inspiration to others through offering ways to further know the self.
