WENDY DONNETTA
Wendy is a 200 hour Registered Yoga Instructor, and member of the National Yoga Alliance
Prior to attending Yoga Alternative classes, Wendy always felt very uncomfortable and insecure in yoga classes, which did the opposite of relax her mind or body. Wendy has always been very restricted in her flexibility, and even more so, when she increased her cardio and weight-lifting workouts.
“The founder, Erin McKee, had a way of teaching that made everyone feel welcomed, and that is was okay to be a beginner.” Wendy expressed.
Wendy started attending classes once a week, and doing at-home practice on the days she wasn’t able to attend at the Studio. After seeing all the benefits, she decided that she wanted to help others experience the same relief from chronic stiffness and discomfort. Wendy has an amazing gift and passion for encouraging the non-believers and motivating the weary to be the best version of themselves.
When not in the yoga studio, you can find Wendy as a Barber in Henderson, KY; or building her endurance at the local Cross Fit gym with her husband, and spending time with their three boys hiking, swimming, kayaking, or pretty much anything outdoors.
You can join Wendy on the mat Sunday’s 5:30-6:30pm for a relaxing Rest & Align class.
